Anthony Weiner overkill discussion thread

Is anyone else sick of the media’s obsession with Anthony Weiner? He’s hardly the first politician who turned out to be a narcissistic, compulsive liar and cheater. True, his preferred sexual activity has never been part of a political scandal before, and he comes across as someone in need of therapy. But I am sick of the endless commentaries about Weiner while people like Dick Cheney are still welcome guests on political talk shows.

Let New Yorkers decide whether to bury Weiner’s career, and let journalists stop treating him like more of a monster than people who took this country into war on false pretenses.

    yes…thank you for saying that!  

  • Anthony Weiner

    And what I do not understand is the fact that he never touched these women,  just tweeting pictures and dirty stuff back and forth.  Yet people are not going after Ensign, Vitter, Spitzer, etc.  like they do Anthony Weiner.  I like the fact that he’s a spitfire and he stands up for himself in Congress.  But I have heard he doesn’t have many friends that he’s worked with,  people do not deal well with his personality.  And I don’t have any idea about the campaign for mayor of NYC.  But anytime one lies,  thinking they will, of course, get away with it,  they usually don’t get away with it well.  I feel more than sorry for his wife,  hearing this on the news day after day.
