In addressing “Weinergate,” Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chair of the DNC said, “I think Anthony Weiner is dealing with a personal matter and that’s where it should be left.”
That myopic view might make sense if Weiner was employed in a menial calling involving little or no public responsibility.
However, Anthony Weiner is NOT working in a menial job, not yet, that is.
Rather, Weiner has been elected to serve the people of New York as a member of the United States Congress.
Serving in the “People’s House” is a major honor for those selected, but it involves responsibility for deciding on major issues facing the nation.
Issues such as whether or not to declare war, whether or not to adopt ObamaCare, how best to reduce the soaring deficit, and other vital matters facing Americans.
In other words, being a member of Congress requires sound JUDGEMENT.
When politicians run for high political office, the voting public assumes that the candidate will exercise mature, wise and prudent judgement.
Listening to Anthony Weiner sob his way through his second mental breakdown in less than one week, one was struck by his immaturity, lack of wisdom, and imprudent judgement.
One would expect an immature ten-year-old boy just discovering the wonders of sex to photograph his own genitalia, to Twitter said photo throughout cyberspace, and to engage in lust-laden e-mails and phone conversations on Facebook and other social networks.
But a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives who also just happens to be married?
Even lefty partisans like Wasserman Schultz must find such behavior bizarre and outrageous. Intoleraable!
In the coming ethics investigation, Congressional leaders must demand an answer to the following question:
Why in the hell did Anthony Weiner find it necessary to wander throughout cyberspace for sexual adventure when he is married to a drop-dead beautiful, well educated and sophisticated young lady waiting for him at home?
Are there other deep, dark psychological problems haunting Weiner?
Regardless of the exact details, Anthony Weiner is not fit to serve in the United States Congress.
He must go, and now!
