“Weiner has also complained to friends that he wasn’t sure how he would make a living if he were to leave Congress and its $174,000 annual salary. ‘He’s worried about money and how to pay his bills,’ said a Democratic insider. ‘He’s very concerned about that’” (“Weiner shows no signs of quitting,” June 9).
Overlook the fact that, by admitting this reason for clinging to political office, any professions that Mr. Weiner has made in the past or will make in the future about his ‘devotion to public service,’ his ‘love of country,’ or his ‘loyalty to the Democratic party’ should be seen as the self-serving lies that they are.

I'll admit to just enjoying the fact that politicians frequently make complete buffoons of themselves, as it makes the point for me that perhaps they are not as trustworthy or noble hearted as they claim to be, and that perhaps we should view their protestations otherwise with a jaundiced eye. But this one is so pathetic it just makes me angry, and that I didn't know about it.
