Politics as a career appeals to individuals of a particular character. We know this and yet we continue to act shocked and chagrined when they behave (or misbehave) in the way Anthony Weiner did. At this point we should hold politicians as guilty until proven innocent when it comes to sexual misdeeds. It doesn’t matter if they are caught tapping coded messages soliciting gay sex in an airport mensroom or sending inappropriate text messages to young pages or tweeting pictures of the cocks to strangers. They all do it, some are just better at not getting caught than others. Stop acting surprised people! They ALL do it!
The fact that this story and others like it are top of the news headlines is fucking disgraceful. The so called news media is fixated on the sexual misdeeds of these politicians. Our country is suffering from a huge unemployment problem. We have banks foreclosing on houses they don’t even hold a mortgage on. Republican governors around the country are trying to destroy the merger social safety nets we have managed to put in place at the worst possible time. We are being lied to about the national debt and we are still involved in two wars openly and at least one on the sly! These are just the domestic issues being pushed from the spotlight by Weiner’s wiener. Japan is still having massive troubles from the aftermath of the tsunami. People in Haiti are still living in tents and dying of cholera! Anybody hear anything about the continued systematic rape taking place in the Congo? It’s disgusting what these news media fools choose to cover and choose to ignore.
