Piling on?

Sure, I've poked a bit of fun at Rep. Anthony Weiner, and will continue to do so (he richly deserves it). But there are limits. I do feel for the human being, especially when the press starts piling on. Behold this gratuitous shot courtesy of Slate's David Weigel:

"Weiner, who has one of the more cartoonishly expressive faces in Congress—he looks like Jim Carrey if Carrey had a bar mitzvah—bit his lip and walked off camera. His head was turned down at an appropriately ashamed angle. And why not? One Friday-night Twitter #fail, the sort of mistake that countless Web geeks make every day, and he became the first national politician since Bill Clinton whose penis dimensions are a matter of public record. (Clinton officiated Weiner's 2010 wedding, a fact that was always going to be high up in his biography, and still will be, for entirely different reasons.)"

Nothing like rhetorically kicking a man in the gonads when he's down. Oy.
