I don't like what Weiner did, but my point is that Ghostwriter's assertion that "The Dems don't eat their own." is a little funny considering that Republicans have a reputation of not "eating their own" in these situations either. Watch it...your political bias is showing, even though you claim to be an independent.
I think Ghostwriter may be referring to the lack of noise fellow dems are making calling for Weiner to resign. It seems that the GOP is a little more proactive in getting rid of their embarrassments once they are exposed. At least lately. Like the Christopher Lee mini-scandal earlier this year. I called out your bias because it was unneeded here. You saying, "well what Weiner did isn't bad compared to what this one republican did ten years ago" is just dumb. I think this story can hold on it's own and doesn't need comparisons drawn between Spitzer or Vitter or Clinton or whatever politician. You shouldn't give the guy a pass because of his politics.
