Weiner pleads guilty

[pbrower2a]

What he did was wrong. He has serious problems, so I do feel sorry for him, but it is outrageous to say that punishing him for his behavior is "prudish".

Liberals and conservatives generally are in concurrence on the misdeeds of liberals in public life or in deeds outside politics (like sex offenses and suspect philandering) that discredit people.

Weiner has problems that should have kept him from contemplating a political career. It allows little privacy.

Having been a substitute teacher, I know enough to avoid any sexual innuendo in the presence of teenagers. It is easy for one to forget that one has an age difference in excess of forty years when one is still mobile and still has testosterone surging through the system... but one must remember that. I do not expect teenagers to show adult judgment about adult sexuality.

I also recognize that I could never keep up with youth culture. I also realize that I have been a cultural dinosaur since I was 25 or so.
