The Beltway media has been attempting for several days to see what kind of influence it wields by amplifying the calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign. The incessant noise has now caused House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to ask Weiner to resign.
It's hard to calculate how many hours have been spent by our moral superiors in the Village media examining every lurid detail of Weinergate. It's certainly far more than any national or international news story, and so far there's no evidence of criminality on Weiner's part, just horrendous judgement and hubris (which is the condition of most members of Congress, and truth be told, the Village media). It's a pity that they were far less interested in questioning the lies that led us into Iraq.
