As long as I've been alive this has been the climate of American politics; the politics of personal destruction. It's been the fog that masks the true dysfunctions and complications of government ever since Richard Nixon and Watergate. And even though I'm sure a hint of this has always permeated political chatter, and politicians have never been saints, the only function of these sagas is to distract the electorate from the true issues.

I hope we can someday move beyond this type of political discourse, but with cats like Andrew Breitbart around, I'm highly pessimistic.

Good luck, Anthony.

peace.

Tony, Tony, Tony...

Dude. Your name is Weiner.

Really, dude. You REALLY should not have done this. You're a United States congressman who's last name is Weiner.

(sigh)

I got your back homie, because you have political beliefs with which I tend to agree. And truthfully, this thing has nothing to do with your ability to govern. But you've made things way more difficult than they need to be for yourself.

Good luck, Tony. You're going to need it.

peace.
