Just realized as I was scrolling around for something else that I screwed up this post. The headline was "Erections Have Consequences," which is much funnier. Don't know why I flubbed that. Oops.

Agreed that the conclusion "lies about sex don't count" is just plain weird. Besides, they're not just lies about sex, they're lies about his judgement, about his behavior. They're lies about who he is, fundamentally, as a person. Good heavens, even I wouldn’t have used a title like “…Weiner Comes Clean,” and I’m shameless.

Note the well-worn "it's only lies about sex" defense. Surely such people would be truthful about everything else where their own ass is on the line.

Today he tearfully acknowledged it was all true and he's sorry. The only thing he's sorry about is that he got caught. Asshole. I am sick and tired of politicians who think they're entitled, that rules are for everybody else. Even the dog is hiding his face.

I don't think I mentioned anyone at all on this board in my post. As you say, all the commentary I saw on the issue from liberals around here (see "Preemptive CYA" earlier on this board) was highly skeptical of Weiner, and even condemning him. I certainly haven't accused anyone here of defending him. Huh? I don’t think I mentioned anyone at all on this board in my post.
