Wienergate: What a Putz

With all that is going on, I can't believe Weinergate is continuing.

I've read that Andrew Breitbart and company are the ones who first found the mistweeted picture and ran with it. For those who forget, Mr. Breitbart is the same "journalist" who essentially got an Obama aide fired by purposefully manipulating video of a speech she gave to suggest she was racist against white people. After that stunt I would not believe Breitbart if he said the sun was strong today while I was getting sun burned. He is somebody who successfully gets the people and media wound up over trivial things so we don't pay attention to what is really important. Men like him are the true danger to this country, not some putz who can't keep his pants on.

At this point it is sounding like Rep.Wiener, or someone on his staff, accidentally tweeted a private picture of him (whoever him ends up being) in his underwear to all his followers which was then exploited by Breitbart or one of his allies on Breitbart's site. Embarrassing? Yes. Stupid? Yes. And is Wiener making things worse by not firmly denying or admitting the picture is or is not of him? Yes. But this does not warrant the amount of coverage you are providing. Nothing illegal happened. Men wear less on the beach.

We've had our fun, time to move on to all the news that really is fit to tweet. With three wars going on, the debt ceiling hitting its limit, debates about Medicare going on or housing prices continuing to decline, I'm sure the media can find something. As to the picture itself, if it turns out to be Rep. Wiener, that should be between Rep. Wiener, his wife, the college student who was supposed to have received his tweet and the voters of his district in Nov. 2012.
