The Greeks have the word for it---hubris---overweening pride. And that’s the problem with Anthony Weiner, former congressman and candidate for Mayor of New York: he’s got an overweening weenie, his pride and joy. He just loves to display it on the internet and sextexts under the name of Carlos Danger. He obviously gets his jollies this way.
He loves to compare himself with Bill Clinton as a morally damaged man in high (or hopes to be) office. He thinks by this comparison some of the Clinton magic will rub off on him, and he will be impervious to criticism and can win the Mayor’s race. Again, that’s hubris, because what kind of record of achievement does he have compared to Bill Clinton?
His long-suffering wife continues to stand by her man through this incessant scandal. I’m wondering if she is into self-masochism and just thrives on pain and martyrdom.
Anthony, put your weenie away for another day and don’t inflict this travesty on the voters of New York. Until the most recent revelations, he was the leading candidate, which is either a commentary on the paucity of qualified candidates or the moral code of the average voter.
Just go in the bathroom, Anthony, lock the door and have fun. But before you do that, please drop out of the race. We are sick to death of Weiner’s weenie.
I'm betting he runs a close race for the mayors job.
ReplyDeleteI wish he would just go away. It's excruciating watching his wife.
