Keep on Lookin'.


words.

"Weiner is the twisted byproduct of our cable news-driven media universe, a partisan who doesn’t actually do anything and instead rouses, in more ways than one, his fans with sound-bite-ready pieces of empty rhetoric. Sydney Leathers, the sexting partner that revealed his latest crop of seediness, told Howard Stern that his health care speeches were a “huge turn-on,” which is probably exactly what he wanted to hear. There's a lot of evidence that indicates Weiner cares more about the sexy parts of politics—the speechifying, the crucifying of others, the cameras that follow him everywhere—than actually getting stuff done. His naked ambition, coupled with his substance-free zealotry, is a far better reason to despise him than anything to do with actual nudity. So it's nice that Weiner's apparently on his way out for good, at last, but I wish it were for his politics and not his penis."
