Weiner got what he deserved. You want to assume your congressman or -woman has better judgement and a better understanding of the social environment to which slopefarm referred. Obama didn’t throw him under any bus, he just said what everyone else already knew. Weiner cooked his own goose by doing some really dumb s*it.

Agreed- but who in Washington hasn’t had big, much worse lapses in judgment at one time or another?
no one’s blaming them. True about Obama, and the rest of the media and democrats. Pelosi especially.
Well, I don’t have first hand knowledge of that.
Really too bad. Nothing like destroying a man’s life and work over basically nothing.
