Weiner and the Clintons
This article is from the archive of The New York Sun before the launch of its new website in 2022. The Sun has neither altered nor updated such articles but will seek to correct any errors, mis-categorizations or other problems introduced during transfer.

It had been our hope to get through the scandal of Anthony Weiner without a comment. This stems from a general view about the private nature of sexual relations. We don’t want to belittle the errors of judgment Mr. Weiner has confessed to — and the lying — but a lot of sexual flirtation looks comical or ridiculous or boorish or worse when reduced to print and exposed to the public. So generally we’re inclined to avoid getting judgmental in sexual scandals, absent a charge of serious offenses, such as in respect of, say, Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
