Two state legislators are accusing former Congressman Anthony Weiner of displaying a “lack of moral courage†in the face of what they slammed as a “homophobic, misogynistic slur†made by a voter referring to their chosen candidate: City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. And they want him to apologize.The offense occurred in The Washington Post, which published a lengthy story Thursday on the mayor’s race that included this scene that described Mr. Weiner’s interaction with a voter on the campaign trail: “You a registered Democrat?†he asked an elderly woman wheeling a shopping cart by him. “I am,†she said. “And I’m not voting for uh, what’s her name? The dyke.†“Okay. I just need you to sign the petition to get me on the ballot,†said Weiner, who then noticed the incredulous reaction of a reporter and added, “and you really shouldn’t talk that way about people.†“Oh, I’m sorry,†the woman said. “It’s okay,†Weiner responded. “It’s not your fault.â€The response left Assemblywoman Deborah Glick and State Senator Brad Hoylman–who have both endorsed Ms. Quinn’s campaign–seething.“We are appalled by the account in the Washington Post of Anthony Weiner’s unacceptable response to a prospective voter’s homophobic, misogynistic slur in reference to Christine Quinn,†they wrote in a statement Thursday. “Weiner’s response to this blatant display of homophobia is completely inappropriate and extremely alarming. There is nothing ‘okay’ about homophobia and it’s never ‘okay’ to condone bias-based slurs or hate speech of any kind.â€They argued that such language was indicative of the larger challenges faced by female and openly gay political candidates.--snip--

Ever stick your finger in one ? The poor little dutch boy did, and saved Holland and became a national hero. I love stories with happy endings.
