"What a pathetic string of excuses Rall offers as to why Weiner shouldn't have to resign (maybe his wife is evil, he lied ... but not for long). And goodness sake, he "fessed up" .. when it was apparent the lies wouldn't hold up and he would only look more pathetic. And is Weiner's logic even that of a sane person (my wife is evil, good excuse to send crotch shots to my address book)?
Crooked politicians should be held to a higher standard than most because of the powerful positions they hold. If they do reprehensible things, it makes them far more susceptible to blackmail by criminals or terrorists who could do great harm to "we the people".
Rall offers a bizarre apples-oranges comparison, comparing Weiner's misdeeds to Bush-Cheney's alleged lies. At least Bush-Cheney sought a formal declaration of war from Congress. Prior to the military actions in Libya, Obama failed to do even that. So, which "warmongering mass murderer" is Rall referring to? Bush, or Obama?
Rall gets it a little right when he implies Weiner shouldn't be impeached just because he's an unfaithful, incompetent, self-absorbed little pervert (we expect that from politicians). As a holder of public office, when he lied Weiner lied to "we the people". He is an excessive security risk. It is for these reasons - and no other - that he should be removed from office."
