The world has gone insane and the press is leading the way. I am astonished at the amount of coverage this Weiner incident is getting. All because a photo of a man's grey (white?) undershorts displaying a bulge. The press calls this a lewd photo. A lewd photo! We are looking at cotton beneath which is a semi-indistinguishable lump. Yet members of the news media are displaying a sense of offended outrage. They are vilifying Anthony Weiner (before anything is even proven) as a pervert and stalker of young girls. Is America even more neurotically prudish than I thought? Can a man now go to jail by showing a girl a underwear ad from Sears? Will the new pornography be girls in Hanes and men in Calvin Kleins? Naturally Chris Matthews, ever the Roman Catholic prig was irate that such an offense would be perpetrated by Weiner, whom he was sure was guilty despite a complete lack of proof, Is the media really horrified at this display of fulsome fabric or is it just another opportunity to avoid real reporting and twiddle their time away with trivialities?
