Anthony Wiener, whom I've admired for his wit, his fierce defense of many of the things in which I believe, is, it turns out, an asshole just like the rest of them. Pisses me off. Embarrasses me. Doesn't at all help my dim view of our political world.
So, yeah, they're all assholes; but there's still a difference. One group of assholes is right and (generally) honest on the issues, the other are assholes across the board.
Shit.

Well, yes, there is a certain tendency for people of a certain stripe to cling to beliefs no matter the facts. I'd hoped it was true weinerman's account was hacked as he claimed; but I don't deny the undeniable.

Not a Homo, but did anyone else notice?(You know you did)
The "Weinster" is RIPPED!!!!!!!! No way he got that chest without Steroids...
And Weiner's always reminded me of the A-holes who made my 6 months in Hebrew School a living Hell...
I didn't know any Hebrew, didn't have a Jewish Last Name, and was the only blonde kid in the school except for the janitor, sort of a Bizarro Treblinka if you will...
and have you seen Weiner's Wife?, looks like a Star Trek Character, some sort of bizarre Asian/Arab/Israeli Hybrid...
I mean even Carley Simon sees Mrs Weiner's lips and says "Damn She's got some Big Lips"
