Yes, I know that saying that is like saying water is wet, or that bovine droppings are olfactorily offensive, but whilst the corporate media continues to fellate itself over the Weiner scandal, not one of those incurious presstitutes has thought to deal with the staggering double standard on display, especially when considering the case of Senator David Vitter (R-Weirdo). Here's a guy that admitted to using the services of prostitutes (clearly illegal) and used to like wearing diapers (clearly bizarre) whilst doing whatever it was they were (illegally) doing to each other. Amazingly though, none of the hierarchy in the RNC called for him to resign, none of his fellow Senators or Congressmen called for him to resign, and no-one suggested that they launch an ethics investigation into the matter, it simply faded into history after one very brief and extremely uncomfortable press conference. That isn't the case with Congressman Weiner though. Nope. He's a Democrat, therefore he has to be publicly flogged, and then hung, drawn and quartered for his icky, yet totally legal, behaviour.
So, to sum up, admit to weird fetish sex with a known prostitute = "okay" if you have an (R) behind your name, but tweet a picture of your meat and two veg to some chicks = "you must resign you filthy fucking pervert" if you have a (D) behind your name.
Yeah, anyone besides me see a problem with that?
Oh, and what damage did the hooker/diaper/prostitute scandal do to Senator Vitter's political career? Absolutely none, he was comfortably re-elected in 2010.
So much for republican 'family values'...
