When a politician gets caught in an embarrassing situation that is neither criminal nor relevant to public policy it may be fodder for good, even great comedy (Please see
John Stewart, The Big Wang Theory). But it shouldn't rise to the level of major news as the
Weiner story has become. Nor should whatever
nonsense Sarah Palin utters, for that matter. But the mainstream media remains focused on such inanities while failing to dig into some really important stories, such as the
global energy crisis, the
recall elections in Wisconsin, the
GOP assault on voting rights, the thwarting of key
Obama Administration nominees, and the the fact that the Republicans are truly seeking to
abolish Medicare, to name just a few. Come on, media, get serious. I'm just a part-time blogger, I can't do everything.

You have such high hopes for us, Lovechilde. This made-for-the tabloids wet dream of a story couldn't help but dominate the news. Just pray that we don't discover that Weiner sexted anything to Blagojevich.
