Over the weekend, the Democrats managed to take the lead from the republicans in the "Rank Hypocrisy" ratings as both the former leader of the House Dems, Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic National Committee Chair, Debbie Wasserman-Shulz, added their voices to the chorus of baying hounds demanding that Anthony Weiner (D-Moron) resign from Congress.
According to these esteemed ladies he has "a problem" and he is "causing a distraction".
Really? Seems to me that the only "problem" is that some Democrats are having trouble distinguishing between criminal and non-criminal activity. If you have committed a crime, typically speaking you shouldn't be in Congress (although you'd be hard-pressed to convince me they aren't all a bunch of criminals), but if all you are guilty of is trying to get into someone's knickers that aren't your wife's, then typically that just makes you a perfect example of a U.S. Congressman.
As for the topic "causing a distraction" neither lady saw the irony that they had to both go on national media outlets to share their outrage.
To top things off, all three of the major network brekkie shows this morning had lengthy segments dealing with Weiner-gate. All of them had deeply earnest presenters along with serious-looking political commentators, frowning and scowling and pontificating about how disagreeable the whole situation was, and how the sooner he resigned the better off we'd all be, without actually saying why he should step down.
I am in no way defending what he did, I think it was spectacularly arrogant, and breath-takingly stupid, but if one elected official who used the services of prostitutes (Senator David Vitter, R- Diaper Sex) gets to keep his job, but another one that simply tweeted a picture of his dick doesn't get to keep his, something is seriously wrong with the way things get done in Washington D.C.
Once again the Democrats managed to demonstrate their favourite party-trick, the circular firing squad. Look, I expect the mediawhores to demand Democratic blood for every perceived infraction, after all that's what they are paid for, what I don't expect is for fellow Democrats to be the loudest voices in the Choir of Outrage....
