It will be interesting to see if his pathetic party will take him down to get this off the front page or if they choose to stick by this pervert/loser (which only emphasizes their hypocrisy).
I’ve seen a lot of Anthony Weiners in the corporate world. Their rise to an arrogant power hold at the expense of others is fast and furious. Their behavior causes distrust and amusement at the highest levels. Once they have outlived their usefulness, willing to implement horrible policies, cutbacks, and other corporate unpleasantries, they are out the door in much the same manner as Weiner.
If they can wait this out till some other crisis knocks it off the front pages, there won't be any consequences at all. Democrats aren't held to the same standards as Republicans, and they're up front about that. They believe that virtue is what you say you believe in and how much of other people's money you're willing to spend to achieve it.
The old media backs them up in this view every step of the way.
A big terrorist incident, or a bad environmental disaster (including bad weather), and Weiner will skate.
If the Republicans had a spine, cajones, or brain amongst them (No Michelle - Ed Rollins doesn't count!) they would be moving this issue from Weiner's crotch shots to "What does this say about the Democrat Party and their supporters that Congressman Weiner feels no duty to resign over his misuse of office?" "Why hasn't Minority Leader Pelosi demand the resignation of this serial misogynist and philanderer?" "What does this say about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that her personal assistant has been dragged through the mud by her abusive husband and she says nothing in defense of her friend?" It's time to make the Democrats suck on the rotten egg of their associations.
