Weiner’s wiener

Listen, and listen carefully: I could care less about the Congressman’s personal/sexual life. Such things are, correctly in my view, entirely private and irrelevant.

However.

He deserves to lose his job because he told a lie. Nixon rightfully lost his elected office, not because of a third-rate burglary that was at best a misdemeanor, but because he told a lie. Ditto for Clinton: he should have also lost his elected office, not because his Lewinsky involvement was immoral (which it was, in my view), but because he told a lie. I apply the same standard to the elected official in question
