Weinergate is on the same arc as Lewinskygate:
First reaction: It’s not true, it’s a right-wing hoax.
Second reaction: Well, if he did that he’s toast.
Third reaction: Well, he just likes the ladies.
Fourth reaction: Hey, it’s a private thing.
Fifth reaction: It’s just sex and you right-wingers are just prudes.
Sixth reaction: He’s the only NORMAL one around, get with the now.
Seventh reaction: He’s a good role model, let’s re-elect him.
