Daily Beast Columnist Wishes Weiner Wife Would ‘Stand by Her Man’; Compares Congressman to MLK Jr.

How tone-deaf do you have to be to a) compare Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) to Martin Luther King, Jr. b) say the women who got Weiner's lewd photos were “hardly traumatized” and c) call on Weiner's wife Huma Abedin to call a press conference to belittle the media for attacking her hubby? You might want to ask Daily Beast contributor Lee Siegel , who did just that (emphases mine) in a June 10 post entitled “C'Mon, America, Nobody's Perfect”: With all the commotion over Anthony Weiner ’s gross and undignified online behavior, we have been too distracted to see that we have an even worse miscreant in our midst.
