He did something stupid and lied about it. It was dumb, but I don't know that I wouldn't have made the same mistake in his situation.
While I would like to think that our pol's are held to a higher standard, they are still human.
By the Gods, if he were a Repub they would give him a shake of the head in disapproval, but only because he was caught lying on camera.
If he were a Repub, then he would have to shoot someone in the face while wearing a diaper, getting serviced by a lobbyist and funneling tax payer money into a pyramid scheme before they might scold him for doing it, but only because he had done it on camera. They could all know about that behavior (the shooting, diaper, bj, pyramid stuff) and join him in doing it without batting an eye, but it's not bad unless it messes with their corporate overlords.
Personally, I think he did something refreshing, he admitted it. Even when a repub admits something and says they are sorry, you know they don't mean it, but they admit it. We should be glad that his failing is something so small (no pun intended) and let him get back to work. If you don't like him anymore, fine...go get someone better to run in the primary against him.
Those are my thoughts, not everyone will agree with them, but that is fine with me. I just had to say it.
