Look, I get that Weiner’s wiener is news because it shows an elected official being a complete douchebag, but let’s put this into perspective. In just a few short months, it will be illegal to sell 100W incandescent light bulbs, it’s still legal for blue-gloved high school dropouts to cop a feel of your 8 year old daughter’s crotch in the name of ‘safety’, your options for health care are being dwindled down to “None” or “Gov’t mandated care that isn’t much better than None”, and each person’s tax burden is around $500,000 plus or minus a few dozen grand. Cops are now openly smashing people’s phones who dare tape them performing their duties, there are SWAT teams now engaged in the student loan repayment business, gas prices are about to soar to a point where the $4 a gallon looks like a good bargain, and there are still forces trying to tighten the noose around legitimate gun owners while our own government gladly walks guns across the border to arm the cartels.
And the entire news cycle is centered around a sleazy, New York politician and his dick-tweets.
The fact that our representatives can’t figure out the Interweb Tubes or comprehend that sending pictures of your tentatively turgid tally-whacker is not going to remain between you and the 40 or so people you’re sending them to should give you pause. But when you look at the amount of control we’ve granted these pricks, images of their pricks should pale in comparison. It’s like focusing on a serial killer’s penchant for scribbling naughty poems on bathroom walls.
Weiner should resign, but that’s what you expect from people with morals and the ability to feel shame. Democrat, Republican, it doesn’t matter. We’ve created a system where psychopathic personalities are rewarded and thrive, and then given those people control over every detail of our lives. Well, technically most people want to give politicians control over other people’s lives but sadly, that always seems to affect me regardless.
Instead, we have gotcha reporting – As much as I appreciate Breitbart and his ability to bring light to stories, a lot of it seems to be geared toward trying to find something, anything to pin on these sleazy bastards to get them out of office when in fact, they feel no shame (well, they’re sorry they got caught!). What I wish we could do is create the same amount of anger toward all these shitheads and their freedom-destroying legislation. Sadly, you can get on the news ticker quicker with a picture of a pecker.
