Deep Weiner
by Scott
POWERLINE

The case of Rep. Anthony Weiner is worth pursuing if only to resist the double standard that would allow him to brush it off with this obvious bit of stonewalling:

A day after hiring a lawyer to look into the online mini-drama now dubbed "Weinergate," Rep. Anthony Weiner said that he wants to move on.

"I'm going to return to working on the things I care about," the New York Democrat told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday. "This is a distraction, and I'm not going to let it distract me."

If a Republican were at the center of the chain of events in which he finds himself, Weiner would be leading the charge to get to the bottom of the story or run the guy out of town. And a suspected perpetrator who characterizes the chain of events as "a distraction" is pleading nolo contendere. As Weiner would be the first to point out. And he would be abetted by the media adjunct of the Democratic Party.
