Representative Andrew Weiner has admitted that the now-famous snapshot of cock-in-shorts really is his. I have only one reaction:
What the hell is wrong with these people?
I am a photographer. I photographed all sorts of things, even naked people, and I have taken more than a few photographs for laughs. But I was never tempted to mail any of them to someone just on a lark!
This is beyond juvenile behavior. Sorry. It’s not even so much that boys will play with their toys, but there must be something about being able to tweet that scrapes a few I.Q. points off. I don’t tweet. Maybe if I did I’d have to enter a 12-Step Program to stop myself from doing really stupid shit with it.
Really, though. I thought this man was smart. I love his rants on the House floor against the inanities of the Right. He is lucid, he is informed, he is on point. If I had his phone number right now I’d call and say, “Andrew! What the hell? This is the kind of stupid shit Republicans do!”
Not all Republicans, obviously, and not even the majority, but the ones who seem to blow the hardest and screel the loudest about FAMILY VALUES have a track record of this kind of embarrassing private nonsense.
Oh, well. Weiner says he won’t quit. Let’s see if that will work. This will likely really damage his effectiveness.
Come on, you guys…grow up.
