Let's Move On

Quote of the Day:

That was the last question I heard shouted by the press over the media din as Anthony Weiner copped to, er, sextweeting? The country is facing potential default, the leader of the GOP is a delusional maniac, the Middle East remains on a knife edge ... and the question in the headline above is still ringing in my ears.

Weiner has not resigned and, frankly, I see little reason why he should. No one, so far as I can tell, was harassed, no one was abused, no actual sex even took place at all. I'm not sure one can even find any hypocrisy here.

-Andrew Sullivan, on the embarrassing "news conference" held by Rep. Anthony Weiner (Democrat-NY) yesterday afternoon.

As far as I am concerned, there is no hypocrisy here whatsoever. Weiner's voting record in the House does not include a history of moralizing against homosexuality or adultery or other "extra curricular" sexual play (ie: Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley), and therefore there is no hypocrisy here whatsoever.

The fact of the matter is, Rep. Weiner sent adult pictures to other adults. Does that make him unable to perform his duties as a congressman? No. Does it make him a slut. Sure.

The thing is....

This just isn't news.

Let's move on.
