The outrage over the Weiner photo (tee hee) has me thinking a bit. When exactly did elected officials become the beacon of morality in America. People cheat on their wives, send lewd photos, and make questionable decisions everyday; in all walks of life. Why is it, then, that the debate gets hijacked over a stupid incident like this?
I honestly don't care what an official does as long as it does not impede his/her ability to make an unbiased decision on an important issue. I guess the thought goes that "we elect these people to represent me and I don't behave that way."
True, but I don't go to church. Don't really care if my elected officials go to church or not. And, there's more people like me than there are truly religious people in America.
So...I don't want you to be my moral compass. I want you to make important decisions THAT IMPACT THE REPUBLIC. A photo of your naughty bits to a "traumatized" young lady (who will probably get a book deal and press tour out of it) doesn't really do anything for me or imperil the country in any fashion.
Again...enough noise. Get to work.
