*chuckle* It's only business -- that sounds like something the Mafia, a Wall Street Executive or an assassin would say :3

==========­==========­==========­====

That's exactly how I meant it to sound.

Until we on the left are as single-min­dedly focused on getting our goals accomplish­ed as the pro-corpor­ate Republican­s and DLC-contro­lled Democrats are in getting their goals accomplish­ed, we're going to continue losing ground until we've spiraled down the drain.  

Do you really want the fight with Republican­s and DLC-contro­lled Democrats to be over saving Anthony Weiner's job, rather than creating millions of jobs for everybody else?  There are only so many minutes in an hour of on-air broadcasti­ng time, and sex is going to consume it over the problems of homeless hungry people every time.  You can't give them the opportunit­y to be able to divert the attention from our problems.

We all know what kind of sexual behavior is appropriat­e for a member of Congress to engage in, what won't have the focus taken off our issues.  Anthony Weiner knew that, too.  Members of Congress don't send pictures of themselves naked to strangers.  You don't engage in behavior that unbecoming to the gravitas of public office, of a representa­tive of the government of the United States.  The general rule of thumb is, "What would your mother say it?"

You can complain about it all you want, the injustice of it all, "it's nobody's business", but people have some definite ideas about what is and isn't their business.  Especially when it comes to a public servant being paid with their money.  

Those who are successful at achieving their goals know when to cut their losses and move on.   Republican­s didn't lose any momentum when they showed Christophe­r Lee the door.  No sooner had his scandal begun than it ended with his resigning his office.  That was like a one day news cycle story --I don't think his feet ever touched the ground, what with Boehner and Cantor carrying him out under both arms.
