I was just wondering about Anthony Weiner, and this morning the Times gave me a little gift of a long article about him.
The big question is about the Political Comeback. Clinton did it. Can Weiner do it?
UPDATE: Weiner blames Twitter for the scandal.
UPDATE2: The article contained not one word about any policy or issue that was important to him. Not education or housing or the economy. It was all about ego.Then he went back to the idea that Twitter and its ilk provided such easy access to the feedback loop. “You know, like spin the wheel! Find someone to say something to you! And if it wasn’t 2011 and it didn’t exist, it’s not like I would have gone out cruising bars or something like that. It was just something that technology made possible and it became possible for me to do stupid things. I mean, the thing I did, and the damage that I did, not only hadn’t it been done before, but it wasn’t possible to do it before.”
