Statement on Weiner Resignation
Now we can stop talking about Weiner, but we have to keep talking about the larger issue. Men in power all too frequently abuse their positions and exploit women. The Congressman is stepping down, but unfortunately there are plenty of other wieners in Washington.
If you need a reminder of the other recent incidents, read my post on “Male Politicians Screwing America”.

This is a sad one because he was fighting for the right issues in congress. I hope there is a Democrat woman in his district to take up the good fight!
Mr. Wiener’s self-immolation was a done deed long before he was “caught” This was going to happen and the sooner the better. Powerful men will abuse their power when it comes to “sex”, mostly because it’s not about sex per se; it’s about power and more power. Throw in a large helping of narcissism and the gasoline gets all the closer to the flame. He seemed a reasonable voice in government, perhaps his excuse for philandering and sexting. Sadly, he was going some good things in government, but those will be forever tainted by the man and his deeds.
