Ballsy

Okay, so the latest political scandal that the media is splaying across the Internet is the tweeted photo of Anthony Weiner's weiner. (Well, apparently, it's a pic of his tighty-whities, perhaps he was hoping for a Hanes sponsorship like Michael Jordan.)
A lot of ridiculous things have been said (by the congressman, and all the reporters) about tempest in a Y-front. It's kinda disappointing to me, because I've always liked Rep. Weiner and I thought he was smarter than this. And maybe someone really did hack in and tweet the crotch-shot. But really?
Although, anything with Andrew Breitbart's name attached to it should be presumed a lie and vigorously investigated. Just do the investigating behind the scenes and let us know how it turns out.
This serves as a reminder that politicians aren't so different from you and me. (Not that we're sending pics of our nicely-packed genitals across the country on a twitter feed.) They are like us in that they do stupid things and think they might not get caught. And then, when they are caught, they get stupider. As far as I know, he hasn't broken any laws unless the unfortunate (or fortunate?) recipient decides this qualifies as a form of sexual harassment or interstate porn or something equally egregious. Right now, his biggest problem is his wife, who, I'm guessing, isn't buying the whole "I'm not even sure that's mine!" defense.
In the meantime, we're not paying our debt, we're gutting Medicare, we're STILL fighting wars, floods and tornadoes have devistated large parts of the country, none of which is being reported on the news because they are devoting precious minutes to determining the family to which the jewels belong.

And I wrote this entire post about a penis without using the word.
