Weiner In The Doghouse

Courtesy: The Washington Post
Sorry for the cheesy title, but Congressman Anthony Weiner is the winner of my Oops Award for the week. His situation is just the latest in a fall from grace for politicians. First there was Arnold Schwarzenegger, then the continuing fall from grace for John Edwards (that's a whole post in and of itself) and now Weiner.

In case you've been living under a rock for the past couple weeks, Congressman Weiner tweeted out a photo of himself to a college student and publicly lied about it. He later came clean and told ABC News that he has "engaged in 'several inappropriate' relationships with six women over the past three years." What's more? This guy just got married not to long ago.

Come on man, really? You are a public figure in the public eye 24/7. Did you actually think you were going to get away with this? That's one drawback of social newtork sites (and the Internet): you always have someone watching your every move. It's ashame but that's how it goes nowadays. It's just flat out RIDICULOUS that we can't even trust our own politicians!
