i disagree on two fronts.
first, its not really just about his wife, because he chose to make a very public and very unambigous committment to his constituents, and then turned around and broke that committment. if he had simply said “my private life is none of your business”, i’d agree with you, but he stated that what he had done was wrong, that he should not have done it, and that he would not do it again. and then he did it again.
secondly, wiener as a politician is fantastic. i think you are being wildly optimistic that there are lots of other democrats out there who can do the stuff he does, with the energy, and committment and vision (whether you agree with the vision or not). he’s a liability, and clearly a very weak man when it comes to some aspects of his life, be he is no moron and has in the past been one of the most passionate and inspiring guys in the NY democrats public figure list.
