You’d think (and hope) that someone like an elected official would know better than to play the nasty with women, online. You’d think (and hope), but you’d be wrong. Again. This time it is New York Representative Anthony D.

The picture was in the Yfrog.com account associated with Weiner’s verified Twitter account; his Yfrog account is now devoid of any pictures.

Idiot politicians (an oxymoron if ever there was one) like Weiner prove that whoever said “Those who can, do; those who cannot, teach” did not go far enough: he should have added :And the truly incapable politic”.
Like most campaign promises, I’m sure a “seasoned” public (or pubic) knows that there is nothing between promises and performance. The problem is that he’ll probably be re-elected because too many of those NY’ers prefer fiction to facts.
