'Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive'

A new Public Policy Polling survey is hot off the presses. Six in 10 Americans want Rep. Anthony Weiner, the libidinous Marquis de Sade of Twitter, to resign his New York congressional seat immediately. Immediately, you hear?! Never mind that 56 percent of the folks in Weiner’s Brooklyn and Queens District – the only ones who matter in this saga – want him to weather the storm and stay. And why, you ask, is Weiner being roasted over a national fire with this poll? What about the other sitting members in Congress who have exposed themselves, so to speak, to sex scandals? Just to name two, there is Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R) who cavorted with prostitutes in both DC and New Orleans. Texas Rep. Pete Sessions (R) got caught in a Vegas strip club. There was no nudity involved, he said in  self-defense. Never mind that the club's sole purpose is showcasing nudity. Where are the national polls on these two Boy Scouts? Right. All I hear are crickets. C’mon. Is this Weiner poll about anything other than keeping the story alive in media for as long as possible? Or as the Bee Gees would sing it, “Stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.”
