Glenn Thrush: Weiner being a weeny shouldn’t hurt Clinton campaign 

“Admire the reporters, but Weiner being a putz doesn’t cast a ‘shadow’ on Clinton campaign, it casts a shadow on him.” — Politico‘s Glenn Thrush commenting on a story by the NYT.

The graph he’s referring to:

“Now, Mr. Weiner’s tawdry activities may have claimed his marriage — Ms. Abedin told him that she wanted to separate — and have cast another shadow on the adviser and confidante who has been by Mrs. Clinton’s side for the past two decades. Ms. Abedin was already a major figure this summer in controversies over Mrs. Clinton’s handling of classified information as secretary of state and over ties between the Clinton family foundation and Mrs. Clinton’s State Department.”
