Weenie Weiner

I’m compelled to revisit my blog re: men + ego, power, sex drive and fidelity. I now have to add the “Weenie Weiner.” Everyone’s been talking about Anthony Weiner.  Is there really anything more to say?

Oh yes there is! What was he thinking?! I know what he was doing, but once again – where are his brains? Obviously in his balls – sorry!

Having watched him previously on TV, I see Mr. Weiner as outspoken, arrogant and a mean person. He’s less “ego driven” and more “insecurity driven.” 

In my “Ego” column, I’ll place Schwarzenegger, Edwards, Gingrich and Clinton. (Let’s face it, Gingrich had an affair with a staffer 23 years younger than he – obviously it wasn’t his good looks and great six-pack that attracted her.)

In the “Insecurity” column, I vote Weiner, Spitzer (who hired prostitutes) and Craig (who solicited sex in the men’s room). 

Let’s take a look outside politics and let’s not forget Tiger.  I think Tiger got “screwed” – literally and figuratively. The PGA demanded that he apologize to the fans. Why? He owes the fans nothing. I’m not dismissing his really bad behavior, but the only people who deserved an apology were his wife, mother and staff.  If we fans make heroes of our sports figures and/or actors than we are dumb.

Charlton Heston played God. He wasn’t God. Understand?

Then there’s the whole Kobe Bryant fiasco. His infidelity seemed OK as long as he didn’t rape the chick. Of course, Kobe gave his wife a 4 Million $$$ diamond ring three days after he was accused of rape. So, I guess a little infidelity goes a long way.

But let’s get back to Weiner.  Ok, if you were going to do something that will ruin your marriage and career, why in heaven’s name would it be sexting? Go for the real thing, damn it! Trust me, if I was ever going to be unfaithful to my husband – and I wouldn’t – ya think I’d have cybersex or do you think I’d find one really HOT, young stud?! If I’m going to destroy my life, it certainly ain’t going to be abstract.

So “Weenie Weiner” gets my “dumb sex addict” award.  While I feel badly for his wife (who is newly pregnant) and family, I have absolutely no pity for him. As my mother always said…he made his bed, now he has to lie in it.  Or can he create a cyber-bed?

The final irony is that his wife, Huma Abedin, is an incredibly intelligent, educated, gorgeous Muslim woman. She’s a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and currently traveling with her in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emeritus.

I’m betting, after business hours, Huma will receive some advice on how she should handle the scandal. Remember, Hillary decided to “stand by her man.” Will Huma?
