Andrew Sullivan:
For my part I couldn’t care less what sort of pictures or messages Weiner has been sending around the Net, and it’s an imposition to be required to care; to be unable to avoid the topic. I find that I have no interest in Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sex life or virtual sex life whatsoever.
I care insofar as it seems a symptom of the narcissism that now pervades public service. What people are we producing as a society? What people are we recruiting as state and federal representatives? Sex doesn't matter. But this sort of stupid, id-driven, public immolation does. How can we think this kind of stupidity doesn't effect policy?
