Weiner Must Resign, Goodwin

[From article]
"his refusal to quit reflects the tight grip of corruption on government.
[. . .]
Like fellow New York Dems Charlie Rangel and Eliot Spitzer, Weiner is so corrupted by power and privilege that he has lost all perspective. The only reality in their world is the one you can get away with. There is no objective truth. As he instructed a porn pal in how to lie, the aim is to keep repeating your talking points until the press gets bored or distracted.

This is the mindset of too many modern politicians, who see government as nothing more than one long battle against the other team. Weiner excelled at it and became a cable-TV star because he has no shame and more than one screw loose.
[. . .]
Giving Weiner the benefit of the doubt is to say that all values are negotiable and none is absolute. If he's good enough for government, then America is finished.
[. . .]
The more "compassionate" we are, the more of the bastards we get."
