Rachel Maddow on Anthony Weiner scandal and Republican hypocrisy



(@ 6:08) David Vitter, the [GOP] senator from Louisiana, is the guy who has admitted to using the services of prostitutes and nobody in the Republican Party has ever called for him to resign, but yet they're calling for Anthony Weiner to resign, and that, to me, says a lot more about the Republican Party than it does about Anthony Weiner, that sort of hypocrisy...
     I still don't understand why the [GOP senator] John Ensign scandal didn't get more attention...
     He's schtupping someone who works for him, who is married to somebody else who works for him, it gets exposed and he decides that in order to cover it up he's going to have his parents pay them $96,000 AND give the husband an illegal lobbying job and then Tom Coburn, the [GOP] senator from Oklahoma, helps him work out the financial deal for the settlement.
     Why is that less of a scandal than Anthony Weiner Has Bad Manners On Facebook?
