Republican Hypocrisy on Weiner

I've been getting tired of the right and their constant barrage of hypocrisy in calling for the resignation of Anthony Weiner due to Twitter-gate.

Weiner tweets his weiner to a few women and the Republicans are calling for his head. Uh, the one on his shoulders.

But there is no indication that he broke the law, and there is no indication that he even had sex with any of the women.

Yes it was wrong for him to do. Yes, he will probably be in the dog house for a long time with his wife and the next time she lets him see her vagina might be at their kids birth...if he's lucky.

But while the right-wing echo chamber has been blasting the Democrats for not calling for his resignation, they have been busy demonstrating the height of their hypocrisy.

But they have probably set themselves up for a new standard of conduct in Congress that might be a tough one for them. Let's take Senator David Vitter of Louisiana.

Let's take a look at what he did. He was a regular customer of the DC Madam. He actually had sex. He broke a couple of laws, like being a John and he actually used government resources, actually making phone calls from the Senate Floor to set-up his trysts.

How did the very same Republicans that are calling for Weiner's resignation react when Vitter returned to the Senator Floor?

They gave him a standing ovation.

Weiner lied, which is clearly wrong. But he didn't break the law or even commit adultry. Vitter did.

Weiner is forced to resign and Vitter is still in the Senate.

It doesn't add up.
