How many Anthony Weiner's ago should we have learned our lesson about falling in love with Alpha Dog Dems?

[meadowlander]

How many second comings of the sharp articulate takes the fight to the Repubs and doesn't back down finally "ballsy" Democratic public figure do we need to see disgraced and humiliated before we stop putting "Alpha" men on a pedestal so the party can appeal to other "real" men whose defining characteristic is that they think dominance, aggression and thinly disguised contempt for femininity are virtues? Because those attitudes aren't wholly disconnected from the scandals that seem to come in their wake over and over and over again.

Said with love before you reach for the alert button because the first step on the road to recovery is admitting we have a problem.

Let's not do this again in 2028.
