Kirsten Powers, yesterday at The Daily Beast:
We are all flawed human beings, and this is not about meting out judgment. It's about having some sort of standard for what the Democratic Party stands for—especially regarding treating women with dignity and respect—and Congressman Weiner has fallen far short of even the low standard to which we generally hold our elected officials. It's time for him to go.
Following Ms. Powers's unimpeachable logic, unless and until Anthony Weiner resigns, citizens of the United States have no real choice. They must operate under the otherwise immutable assumption that the Democratic Party has no standards — “especially regarding treating women with dignity and respect” — and react, and vote, accordingly.
