Congress needs a cleansing.

Democratic leaders are now calling on Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign after the New York lawmaker embroiled in a Twitter scandal admitted he had online contact with a Delaware teenager. National party chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says Weiner's behavior is "indefensible" and his role in Congress is "untenable." The Florida congresswoman says "this sordid affair has become an unacceptable distraction" for everyone. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Weiner "needs help" and he should get some "without the pressures of being a member of Congress."

Here’s my reaction to all this. At least half of Congress should resign and seek help. Not necessarily for sex scandals, but for political immorality and chicanery. For corruption. For political lies. For deception. For partisan pettiness. For stupidity. For gross incompetence. For making complete asses of themselves. –Jim Broede
