The Anthony Weiner Situation: Priorities are crooked.

So by now, most people probably know that Weiner came out and said that the pictures were of him.  Now, he is facing opposition by the public, his opponents, and even his own party.  One tweet could ruin the career of a very hardworking and committed politician.  Is it fair?  Which matters more, what someone does with their personal life, or their overall competence in their job?

Weiner Pic/Whats happening with Journalism?

What is the big deal about what Anthony Weiner may have done?  Seriously, its a picture of a guy's lower half and he is in underwear.  How is this any different than a female sending a picture of herself in a low cut top thats pretty revealing?  People do that all the time on twitter but don't get criticism.  Is it a double standard that women do this all the time (thats what modeling is in a very basic sense) but one guys supposedly does it and gets criticized?  And you can't even see his face.  Its just the ridiculousness of our 24 hour news cycle that this is the huge news this week.
