Just about two weeks ago CNN cornered Congressman Weiner about what has been described as an “explicit Tweet” the pol sent to a young woman on Twitter he’d never met.
The question is where did they come from? Hacking into someone’s computer hard drive is harder to believe than the Twitter issue, and that’ s where the problems start for Weiner.
But that would be if he stuck to his original “hacked” story. Weiner didn’t. Plus, Weiner, unlike Republican Representative Chris Lee, said he was not going to resign from office.
So, maybe because of that, or more likely because Andrew Breitbart could be a gay guy in the closet, Brietbart’s devoted his blog Big Government to not less than 15 blog posts about what the blogger calls Weinergate, and as much for the congressman’s name as what part of his body Brietbart wants to see.
But, in a society where an 11-year old kid can go on YouTube and freely see semi-nude women and men, not to mention people doing all sorts of things from blowing snot bubbles to public sex on a train, do we really care what Congressman Weiner did on Twitter, as The Atlantic asked?
Well, the answer is that we’re titilated by it, if nothing else. That’s why the keyword Andrew Breitbart was number one on Google Trends, and Congressman Weiner’s number six on Monday. We want to look more than complain, and much of the complaints are being aimed not at Weiner, but at Brietbart.
Technorati calls it our “national hour of shame” and says Brietbart is a “scumbag.” I’m waiting for someone to call or email and report that they have the same kind of photos of Brietbart.
Republicans Not Out Of The Woods
Remember, the Republicans still have Sen Tom Colburn, Rep. Chris Lee, and Senators John Ensign, and David Vitter to remind us that they still have the lead in sex scandals.
Stay tuned.
