It's good to see that there is some justice, if not poetic justice, in this world. Weiner is among the most vocal and scathing in his assessment of those across the aisle. He gives no quarter but will expect Americans to forgive and forget as if nothing happened. The point is, if one wants to criticize to the degree he does and with the obvious disrespect he is known for, he should have been very keen on keeping his own house in order. Now his leadership against the other side is permanently over and his influence is lost.

They'll never be able to do this but, if the dems could all be civil and show respect for the laws we already have on the books and the lawmakers that have gone on before and genuinely work with the republicans, a lot of people that for moral reasons have left the democrats behind in favor of the republicans, might come home. IMO, the more they insist on playing hard ball politics, the more they will fade.
