In the matter of Representative Weiner . . . replace his name with "Representative Boehner." If your reaction to the story changes, then you are quite probably reacting to the story in a biased and partisan manner. If it doesn't, chances are that you're being fair and objective.

For the record, I have thought for a long time that Weiner is a dick. And not the kind restrained by underwear. Precisely because he's a shameless partisan---dick.

If Boehner had done what Weiner has done, I'd be calling for his resignation as an embarrassment to his Party.

If Democrats don't loudly call for Weiner's resignation, then they are saying that they approve of that behavior. Which crosses the line from partisan to icky, in my book.
