i'm not sure why so many people care about anthony's weiner.1 he didn't do anything illegal. you can't claim this is relevant because weiner is a hypocrite as public morality has never been one of his issues. and while flirting online with a bunch of women who are not your wife is a bad thing to do, i'm not sure why anyone should care other than his wife.
i simply have a hard time caring about this. but the mania about this does show the ridiculous tabloidization of political news coverage. (exhibit B is the wall-to-wall coverage of sarah palin driving around in a bus). the american press seems to avoid reporting on actual political issues at all costs. i don't understand why. issues are what makes politics interesting. this is why i find most tv news unwatchable.

1-other than to joke about it of course. the guy's name is weiner ferchristsake!
