Breitbart: Scandal Invites Corruption

While attending the progressive Netroots Nation event Andrew Breitbart was the non-victim in an obvious attempt at a gotcha moment to be spread all over the internet.  Breitbart counters impressively, but not as you would think.  In a rare incidence the conservative attack dog actually offers a sound opinion instead of merely reacting to liberal bias evidenced in the fact he blatantly quells this ostensible progressive vlogger.



Breitbart brings up a wonderful point thereby adding a more interesting and teachable dimension to what would otherwise be just another standard political sex scandal.  What if other potential scandals were able to be hijacked before they were exposed by the media and then used against a politician for a nefarious, if not, merely contemptible reasons?  Do you think for a moment this has no potential or doesn't happen at all in American politics?

This is a tangible reason why our elected representatives need to meet the highest moral standard, at least while they're in office, in order to secure our national business.  Sure, Anthony Weiner broke no laws (as far as we know) and he technically doesn't have to leave office, but his lavishness and disregard for basic standards leaves him and others who engage in similar actions vulnerable.  Anthony Weiner did the best thing for himself, his family, his party, and the American Republic by leaving.  This subject has sucked enough air out of a room better dedicated to other matters.
