On the off-chance that Rep Weiner will read this in the 3-4 minutes it will remain on the front page, I would like to address Rep Weiner directly.
Dear Rep Weiner:
It. Just. Does. Not. Matter.
On Daily Kos and on Twitter, Facebook and other websites, Progressives have been working tirelessly to defend you in every way. We abhor Andrew Breitbart and everything he stands for, and we respect you for the way you have advanced the Progressive agenda in Congress, and through the media. We admire you for being the outspoken bull-dog against conservative bull-shit.
You did not murder anyone. You did not rape or pillage. You did not steal monies nor kick a homeless person. You said you have hired counsel and a private security company to look into this whole twitter-hack thing. Now be quiet. You do not owe Breitbart, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times or even us any more explanation than you have already given. From this moment on, just say, "no comment" and smile mysteriously at every question asked about The Great Twitter Hack. Say no more. Kate Middleton's boob will fall out, or a pretty blond white woman will go missing, or some teen idol will go to rehab or Sarah Palin will fart in public. This will go away quickly if you, and we, let it.
In the big scheme of things, ie the Fight for the Soul of this Country, this. does. not. matter. You have already proved yourself to be our champion, and we respect you, love you and will not discard you. You have defended us, we have defended you....now we need to let it go. Yes, Brietbart and cohorts need to boiled in oil, at least, but they have created the furor they wanted. We need to not feed it any longer. Fuck all of them and the horses they rode in on. They. don't. matter. We the people matter, and we need you looking confident, positive and unruffled. There are so many things that matter, but this is just not one of them.
Thank you for your service to America.
