While some of the pundits seem to think that Anthony Weiner's outburst last night was due to "Democratic Impotence" (see below), I found it refreshing, especially when it came at the expense of Pete King (doesn't he remind you of Dan Aykroyd in "Tommy Boy"). King typically talks out of the side of his mouth (and from other body parts as well) so I am proud of Weiner taking him to task for not bringing the votes to pass a bill that he (King) had co-sponsored.
Weiner later said "it was the Brooklyn in him coming out". I know what that's about congressman. Keep up the good work and feel free to take on any of the other slackers that stand in the way of progress.
