Have you seen the movie Dinner for Schmucks? Now we have a sequel, Twitter for Schmucks starring Congressman Anthony Weiner. I’m a Libertarian. I don’t want government in my bedroom, or my boardroom, so I’m generally hands-off (excuse the pun) about what politicians do in their private time. But this is different. Weiner must resign.
If this was just an affair…Okay. People have affairs every day. But what people- let alone Congressmen- don’t do every day is send photos of their penis to strangers. That’s far worse than an affair. It’s mental illness. Weiner is a pervert, an electronic, high-tech version of the naked man in the raincoat from yesteryear who walks up to pretty female strangers and opens his raincoat. Weiner is a schmuck- and for that he must go.
Here is what the case boils down to:
#1) Weiner thinks we’re the schmucks. Any man so sick he must send photos of his penis, bulging underpants, naked chest, and talk dirty over Twitter and Facebook with complete strangers has a deep-rooted sexual and mental illness. Since he claims he never had a physical affair, Weiner thinks he should be forgiven. I’d rather hear he’d slept with them. I can understand sex talk and photos between lovers. But a Congressman sending crotch shots over Twitter to complete strangers? This man is in dire need of mental help. He has an addiction or perhaps a deep-seated need to destroy his career. Either way, he’s too self destructive to be sitting in the United States Congress.
Remember, this is the Congressman who introduced a bill to loosen immigration requirements for foreign models. I can only assume his goal was more potential Weiner Twitter victims.
#2) Don’t be surprised if it comes out that Weiner’s weiner was used for a lot more than (as he called it) “just innocent fun over Twitter.” I’m guessing, if he hasn’t already bought them off, there must be plenty of women ready to talk about Weiner’s sexual exploits. The most recent communication indicates Weiner was begging a Nevada blackjack dealer to meet him for sex. Excuse the pun…but I’m betting this scandal is much bigger than advertised.
#3) As far as I’m concerned, Congressman Weiner’s affairs are between him and Mrs. Weiner, a top aide to Hillary Clinton. But can you imagine the odds, to be involved in the biggest sex scandal of the year, and have Mrs. Clinton as your personal advisor? Now that’s hitting the lottery!
But, the affairs aren’t the issue. It’s Weiner’s arrogance, recklessness, and sickness. No one this reckless should be allowed anywhere near the Capitol. Any Congressman who, after seeing what happened to Congressman Chris Lee after his shirtless photo was made public, still chose to send his own shirtless photo, and added crotch shots as the bonus, is reckless, dangerous, out of control, perverted, and dumb as a tree stump. No one like that has the right to pass bills that affect my life. Weiner is obviously a sick man dealing with a mental illness. He needs help. Intensive 24/7 help. He’ll only have the free time for that kind of help after being relieved of his job.
#3) We must remember that this man is the same Weiner (insert joke here) who went on a Joe McCarthy witch hunt against advertisers on Fox News, and in particular Glenn Beck. Weiner demanded Congressional and government investigations into fraud and false advertising by gold and precious metal companies. Why? Because he’s a raving, radical, leftist Kool-Aid drinker who didn’t like the fact that gold advertisers were paying tens of millions of dollars to Fox News and Glenn Beck. He attempted to intimidate and bankrupt these companies with investigations, threats and legal fees. I wonder if Weiner planned on a settlement that included these companies agreeing to spend equal money to advertise on the failing shows of MSNBC?
Weiner was acting the part of Mafia Don trying to extort and intimidate advertisers of his political opposition. This is as heinous an act as I can remember coming from any member of Congress.
Now picture this same political hack who enjoys witch hunts against political opponents, staring at his Twitter screen, sweating and shaking, with eyes and tongue (and other body parts) bulging out, as he sent strange photos to complete strangers, humiliating his wife, putting himself in a position to be black-mailed, while laughing at what schmucks the voters are who put him in office. Bingo. There’s the image all voters need to see.
Mr. Weiner, it’s time to go. Quickly.
Let this be a lesson to voters. Anthony Weiner is Exhibit A for why we should have a healthy distrust for all politicians. These are the power-hungry tyrants who want to control your life. Term limit them, keep tight reins on their spending, and limit the time they can spend in their seats planning new ways to steal our money and take control over our lives.
There are many more Weiners in Washington who simply haven’t been caught yet with their hand (or any other body part) in the nookie jar. We’ve got to watch out for all the Weiners of the world. Most of them aren’t perverts though. Their hands are in your pants to find…your wallet.
