more Weiner fun….from Natl Review
Alec Baldwin sez
He exists under a constant pressure cooker of self-analysis and public appraisal. Like other politicians, he needs something to take the edge off… For high functioning men like Weiner and other officials….

to which Mark Steyn replies…
Whoa, wait a minute: What “constant pressure cooker”? He’s got nothing to do but appear on MSNBC all day long. Everything else is done by one of his 19 staffers – for example, the official statement from his office on his relationship with this 17-year old girl in Delaware. Baldwin’s got it backwards: Congressional life is very undemanding and certainly not performance related; on the other hand, I can see that juggling jailbait on your Twitter feed could get pretty stressful. Good thing he has an unimportant day job with 19 staffers to “take the edge off”.

yeeha!
