45. We laughed at Ashcroft for covering up the bosoms
on the statue of Justice. Now, we are no better. Reaching for the smelling salts because a man engaged in cyber sex. The goal posts moved so often on this, 'it's about the sex, no, it's about the cheating, wait, it's about the lies' etc. each time one of the arguments was shot down. So you have to believe someone wanted him gone badly. And it's not hard to figure out who.

The difficult part is why the Democrats insist on helping the other side, almost without fail. Unless of course it's Timmy Geithner who was caught cheating on his taxes, a far worse and actual crime, than anything Weiner did. Yet, Timmy is still around, screwing up the economy, so I agree with your post.

Timmy Geithner = Tax Cheat. Works for Wall St. No problem.

Anthony Weiner = Gets caught having cyber sex, works for the people. BIG PROBLEM.

It's sickening really.
