As I said in an earlier post on this topic as a country we have more important things to worry ourselves with besides another sicko congressman, be he or her a R or a D......all irrelevant. But that being said the Chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz did call for his resignation yesterday but on the other hand Charlie Rangle defended Weiner and said at least it was not little boys he was fooling with. Good one Charlie, guess 17 yo girls are fair game huh unless it was his daughter.
Wiener like all of us is guilty of being mortal and thus a sinner. What he did was a moral failing, but lying about it was a crime. A breach of trust with his voters and the other 300 + million of Americans that expect more from their elected representatives. We no longer, as a nation of people with values and morals, respect integrity. Being a celebrity is more important to us than being honest and forthright. Just go through your grocery store check out line and look at the tabloids.........nothing good is very on the covers.........more Arnold, more Eliot Spitzer now more Weiner (not intended as a pun). He is now seeking help........a decade after the fact but thats the way we do things now in America...........better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Hope he gets the help he needs......his district certainly deserves better representation, but then again they may not.
When we are more concerned with social networking, i.e, facebook, tweeting, blogging and whatever else is avialable then we have reached a low point as a nation. When we continue to celebrate the likes of Weiner, Spitzer, Edwards, Clinton, Vitter, Teddy Kennedy and the Barney Franks of this world.......we all get what we so richly deserve.
Sure old Tony will spend 45 days in rehab and come back a new man...........with a new twitter account under a different name.
