AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
I am officially bummed out.
I am bummed - but I’m also bummed by this. Because there shouldn’t be a double standard. Everyone on that list should be held accountable BUT SO SHOULD WEINER. All of them getting a free pass doesn’t mean dick *heh* if we’re trying to claim meaningful social moral highground. Just saying.
I have been ignoring most media surrounding the Weiner case, because the salivating over lascivious details about his erections makes me want to puke much more than the fact that he took those pictures in the first place. So I don’t know if he used taxpayer funded resources to engage in those activities. If he did then his behavior is in a category of ethics violations that deserves accountability. But not the same level of accountability that should be levied at deeds that result in deaths and human rights violations.
