Roasting The Weiner

Any hope that Congressman Anthony Weiner held that his Twitter escapade would go unnoticed during the long holiday weekend has been rendered obsolete. A quick look at the blogosphere yesterday should assure the congressman almost a sort of immortality. Big Government.com provided eleven links to stories relevant to Wiener's embarrassing episode. Even the New York Times got into the act. Well sort of. Noting that
a sexually suggestive photograph had been sent from Weiner's Twitter account it declined to speculate on who the sender might be and accepted Weiner's half-hearted explanation that he had been a victim of hacking. Interestingly, nowhere do we see a comparison to former Congressman Chris Lee's conduct and Weiner's. Congressman Lee was forced from office after he sent a shirtless (and tasteless) likeness of himself to one of his Craig's list friends.
