Another brilliant video from D.C. Douglas. (Warning NSFW!)

Today's victim topic, Andrew Breitbart.



(BTW the NSFW stands for "Not Safe For Work," just in case anybody is still confused about that.)

Lawrence O'Donnell wraps up the Weiner...story.

I first have to say how sad I am about how this turned out.

I had kind of hoped that Wiener would be vindicated, even though I had long since decided that he was simply not being honest.

I desperately did NOT want Breitbart to have successfully destroyed this man's career, which is mostly the reason why I did not report on it. 

It is somewhat reminiscent of how I reacted to news about the John Edwards love child and adultery story.

I did not blog about the story for a long time because I did not want to do anything which might have caused his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, any more pain.  However since that story broke I have had a conversation with the National Enquirer reporter who broke that story and told him thanks for what he did.

It was a story which needed to be told, regardless of how much we may have at one time supported and admired John Edwards. And believe me, I really did admire him very much.

But you see that is the difference between how I deal with learning that the people I support are flawed human beings, and how the people who support Sarah Palin, and others in the GOP, deal with information which makes THEM look less than competent or capable.

I would NEVER consider trying to change history, or creating some alternative universe where my candidate's answers were correct, in order to defend somebody that I supported. I would carefully consider what I had learned and then, based on that, decide if they were still worth supporting.

Which is why I have to say, that I really don't support Rep.Weiner's decision to remain in Congress.  I think he should resign.  Immediately.

I like the guy, I understand that what he did SHOULD really be just between he and his wife, but he lied.  And even after he had EVERY reason to come clean he lied, and lied, and lied.

And for me, that is a deal breaker.

That, of course, is only my opinion.  If yours is different, feel free to disagree with me.

New tweet by Sarah

If I ever buy a book written by Andrew Breitbart, it will be used to clean up my cat's litter box.  He was responsible for Shirley Sherrod's firing at the US Department of Agriculture.  Now Shirley is suing his ass.
