Are we as lewd as Weiner?

Yes yes a hundred times yes. Our fascination with this story is directly linked to the fact that we are just as bad. How many men are sending pictures of their dangles right now to either a girlfriend or some chick? We love to watch others be punished for the same acts we ourselves are involved in. It makes us feel like we can get away with anything. The media is just garbage. They will pander to whatever smutty need we have to get us to watch. How can a story about a Wiener's wiener overshadow war, the economy, health care and every other pressing issue? Because he got CAUGHT.
