Another Supposed Ally Proves to Be a Turd
Dear Represenative Anthony Weiner (D-NY),
I am disappoint.
You had a platform, you were a hell of a speaker on progressive issues, and someone who really got what it means to give women the right to choose. I got excited anytime a progressive blog posted a video of you speaking in the House because it was always guaranteed to be nothing less than stellar. I wanted to believe it was another of Andrew Breitbart's lies, and I was prepared to defend you since the intended recipient of the photo sounded like she didn't think it was really you, and that you'd never been inappropriate toward her.
And now I learn that like so many other supposed male allies, you're just another rotten pile of shit abusing your power to gain access to women. Kudos to at least coming forth...after being hounded by the press and realizing sooner or later someone was going to step forward and prove that you're just another dirty old man.
Walk barefoot through a pile of Legos,
Jade
P.S.: And I'm not going to take your word for it that this was all consensual and I won't until every last woman you had an "inappropriate relationship" with says it was. Do you know how many men insist something is consensual when it's not? Never mind that you've already shattered the trust you had in so many progressives by lying about this at first and by being, to put it bluntly, really fucking stupid. You don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
