I’m loath to wade into to this, but I think we may have reached a tipping point in Weinergate… I mean once you’ve lost the porn star, it’s all pretty much down hill isn’t it?
Anyway, jokes aside, one of Congressman Anthony Weiner’s twitter and email buddies, former porn star Ginger Lee held a press conference in New York today. Ms. Lee, who was flanked by her lawyer Gloria Allred, appears to be a paragon of virture compared to Congressman Weiner. Ms. Lee. says she remains a committed liberal, but has concluded that Rep. Weiner should resign:
“He asked me to lie about our communication,” Lee told a news conference in New York, flanked by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred. “I knew I couldn’t lie for him but I didn’t want to be the one who kicked him under the bus.”
“I think that Anthony Weiner should resign because he lied. He lied to the public and the press for more than a week,” she said. “If he lied about this, I can’t have much faith in him about anything else.”
And that folks, is what this is all about, if we can’t trust Congressman Wiener to be truthful about his personal conduct, how can we ever trust him to be truthful in his public conduct?
Frankly, I couldn’t care less about who or what he tweeted, his actions, while morally repugnant do not appear to have been criminal… What’s the old joke? In politics it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up that does you in.
Do us a favor Congressman and resign. Save yourself, your party and the nation further embarrassment.
