Today the wires on cable crackled and popped with the Anthony Weiner story. This story revolves around a New York Congressman on the hot seat for sex-ting young women across the nation on America's quick message service "Twitter". For the past 10-12 days a story of the congressman sending out inappropriate messages, and pictures in various stage of dress and undress to young women has floated around Washington and every news organizations with a camera has been trying to run down the facts and get to the truth behind the photos.

Weiner has repeatedly stated the pics were not of him and that someone had hacked into his account planted the pictures and then sent them out to these women without his knowledge or permission. Finally when a reporter scored the evidence and was going to open the story wide he came to the microphones and admitted to news organizations he had done this himself. It took him ten day of lying before he did finally come to those microphones. There are odds and ends still left to answer before this story is actually brought to a close and before it ends we will see if the Dems have any morals left. The Dems were gung-ho with morals when a Repub was in a similar situation couple years back and all Dems were raising hell about getting that terrible immoral Repub out of congress.

Tonight on Ed Schultz the fire flew. Admitting Weiner had done what he said, guests almost came to blows over him admitting wrong-doing and leaving office. Liberals are quite alright with the nasty crap Weiner admitted doing and they were fine with him lying for two weeks about what he didn't do. They agreed that he was cheating on his wife and on and on over these faults of his. That said the guests couldn't understand why people and Repubs especially wanted him to resign. Because the guests were under the impression that without Weiner being found guilty of using his office phone on company time then basically there was nothing for him to be convicted of and therefore no need for him to quit. What?

When this country was formed our representatives had morals and character and would never have allowed a member to do anything near what this guy did and dare remain in their midst. They held themselves to be righteous men and for anyone of them to do the things mentioned here would not have entered their minds. This country has lost its way and so many of our people have lost all their morals. With all the things Weiner did and admitted doing wrong, Eds' guests could only bring themselves to find a problem with it, "only" if he was found guilty of using the phone on company time or some similar nonsensical, off the wall, line of crap. And they wonder why the people have so little faith or respect in congressmen today. Gee I wonder.
