What's in a name.

When I first read about the Congressman Anthony Weiner debacle, I thought to myself, "Surely this cannot be true: you'd have to have a major screw loose to take a picture like that of yourself and store it on your smart phone (unless your name is Lenny and you're like 13). Surely no member of the United States Congress is that naive: that ignorant.

Then the report went on to claim (and later confirm) the picture in question was sent to a 21 year old female college student...a 21 year old! One of the individuals who had been elected to the United States Congress by the people of the great state of New York, took a picture of himself naked and texted it to a 21 year old college co-ed: ARE YOU SERIOUS!

The side fact that this guy's last name is Weiner, confirmed that aside from having the judgement of a 13 year old boy, he is apparently a glutton for punishment if not a complete and utter sadomasicist. And while none of this is against the law as far as I know, we should all ask ourselves, "How do we continue electing these kinds of folks to run our country?" I can understand why someone of this caliber might be hired to appear on certain TV shows like Jerry Springer or Oprah, but Congress...seriously!
Where are guys and gals like Paul Harvey and Barbara Bush when you need them.
