Weiner Police
The sudden sexual piety of Democrats who say Anthony Weiner must resign.
By William Saletan
After all the self-serving, morally selective posturing we've heard from Rep. Anthony Weiner over the past two weeks, it's such a relief to see him finally being thrown overboard by his self-serving, morally selective colleagues.
and at the end:
Why have Kaine, Rendell, Schwartz, and other Democrats suddenly become righteous about sex and lying? Because Weiner has become a political liability, and he's expendable. In 1998, when Clinton lied, the polls were on his side. Rendell put it bluntly at the time: "The most recent poll shows that two-thirds of the country want this to go away, even if they did have a sexual relationship and even if he did lie." Schwartz made the same point a year later, noting that most Americans believed it was "time to move on" from Clinton's offenses. And the year after that, when Kaine campaigned for Robb, he needed the senator's help in Kaine's future campaign for governor.
Now these politicians want Weiner to get out of the way so they can get back to bashing Republicans over Medicare. Fine. But spare us the moralizing.
