Greenwald tries the distraction that Weiner's lies were about something that's nobody's business but his own.
1. Is it nobody's business to say his FB account was hacked?
2. Is it nobody's business that he (by his own admission) sent an unsolicited lewd picture to a college student?
In terms of politics, the answer in my opinion should be "yes" to both of those. I've thought about it a lot in the past few days, and I don't think it should be anybody's business if a politician--regardless of campaign position or ideology--has an affair until laws are broken, and at that point it shouldn't be a national circus like affairs always are. Even at that extreme point (say, for example, the alleged crimes committed in covering up the affair by John Edwards), it's really only the business (in terms of covering all the sordid details over and over) of the people involved and the law. Voters simply need to know "this guy had an affair, take that into consideration when you vote for him."
It's an extremely idealistic stance to take, I guess, but the way I see it, people should vote on candidate's stances on issues (or even just their ideology, at a baser level), not on "he seems like a nice guy that wouldn't do anything bad."
ETA:
Radar Online has a transcript of his
FB sex chats with the Las Vegas woman. Nothing particularly surprising, other than the sleazy fact that he was married only two months when all this started.
This is exactly what I was ranting about earlier. To this, I say, "Who cares?" Of what relevance is this to anything, other than to gloat or to wallow in the sordidness of the thing? This is just base voyeurism. It changes none of the pertinent facts to voters, which are:
1) Weiner engaged in several pseudo-affairs, or cyber-affairs (there's a whole philosophical debate as to what online action counts as cheating that I'd really rather not get into. For the sake of this, let's just say that he had an affair).
2) He lied about it when confronted with an accusation of it and evidence of it.
That is it. That's the extent of the matter. That should ALWAYS be the extent of the matter, regardless of who the politician is or whether they're on the blue team or the red team. Instead, we get weeks upon weeks of "love to slip them off u" sort of stuff played on everything from Dateline to Fox and Friends. It's just such blatant exultation from one side or the other when we as a country find out that someone that represents the party that is The Bad Guys turns out to have infidelities and kinks. For examples of this, look to the reaction to this case and the left's reaction to the Vitter case.
I was really hoping to impress you!
