Without the camera crew there to record his answers, I did not have much more to ask him beyond my initial invitation to be a guest on GMA the next day.

Weiner told me he would only come onto GMA if he could read the sports for six minutes, “the way I want to do the sports,” he emphasized. I explained to him that GMA did not regularly broadcast sports highlights and then asked him if he was doing any other television the next morning.

"The Today Show,” Weiner fibbed sarcastically. “They have higher ratings.”

“There are a lot of people that I think are committing outright hypocrisy and are forced to do so as long as he (Vitter) remains in office,” said Joe Glover, the president of the Family Policy Network, based in Forest, Va. “I don’t think the senator should put those folks in the untenable position of having to pragmatically defend his presence in the Senate.”

Glover noted, for example, that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, had called on Weiner to resign, but had also contributed to Vitter’s 2010 re-election campaign.
