new York Congressman Anthony Weiner finally put to rest swirling rumors about a now infamous NSFW image that appeared on the politician’s Twitter feed on May 27. At a news conference yesterday, Weiner admitted not only to sending the salacious gray boxer briefs snapshot, but also to exchanging "messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years." This is the kind of scandal that has the talking heads chomping at the bit. Come one, come all, from the right-wingers to the bleeding hearts, from the comedians to the politicians-cum-television personalities, the media circus has arrived. Fair and balanced is on
vacation. Here are coverage highlights from some of television’s most familiar faces, in order of angst:
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz was disappointed in Weiner, in that fatherly kind of way. The liberal commentator told the congressman, "if you believe in yourself, you will resign." Schultz’s gripe with the congressman was not about the wrongful acts he committed, rather his handling of the scandal. The MSNBC pundit went on to recognize Weiner’s great relationship with "media folk," but said the politician’s beloved persona would not be enough to circumvent real consequences, calling Weiner’s approach to the scandal "a little too arrogant."
