re: #18 SanFranciscoZionist

Any Democrat in Congress who doesn’t realize that the likes of Andrew Breitbart is out there, and take appropriate precautions, is probably not smart enough to represent his or her district.

I think Breitbart and team are scum, but Weiner totally blew this one, on any number of levels.

Oh, I fully agree with you. None of this would have happened had Weiner showed a lick of common sense.

I just always thought there was a lot more to this story than what was covered by the media. Charles’ post does seem to bear this out.

And part of Weiner’s problem is not that he’s not smart enough. I get the feeling he thought he was smarter than everyone else and could deny it away and people would buy the lies about hackers and everything else.

Hubris and lack of self-control. In Weiner’s case, a lethal combination, IMO.
