quick note on Weinergate

Which married Democrat politician’s act was worse?

Elliot Spitzer (having sex with prostitutes)

Bill Clinton (receiving fellatio from—and inserting cigar into—an intern)

Anthony Weiner (sending lewd pictures of himself to women he never met)

My wife thinks Clinton’s was the worst. She didn’t like that Clinton fornicated with a woman who worked for him, she thought the cigar stuff was weird, and she didn’t like that he would take that kind of risk while in office (the Iraq war doesn’t happen if Clinton kept his pants on.)

But I’ll say this. If one of those guys is least likely to reconcile with his wife, there’s a school of thought that says it’s Weiner.

here's an example of what's gonna get him,

Imagine Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws. Imagine being one of those three men and sitting at the table with your wife and her extended family. Imagine turning to the right and seeing your wife’s father. And then imagine looking into the old man’s eyes as he passes you the cranberry sauce.

If you’re Clinton or Spitzer, the old man looks at you and he hates you for what you’ve done, he hates you for what you’ve put his daughter through, and he hates that you couldn’t exhibit self control. But he is a man, and as a man he can understand your instinct. Some men can control those instincts better than others. But for what it’s worth, at least he’ll understand the instinct.

But if you’re Weiner, that old man looks into your eyes and he’s probably thinking about those pictures, and he’s probably wondering, “Why did this guy—a public figure, a United States Congressman with aspirations to be Mayor of New York—send out naked pictures of himself? Is he crazy? What was he getting out of it? What kind of fucking weirdo is this? I just can’t relate to that shit.”

That being said, Weiner is pretty funny.

And that being said, I've been reading about Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The guy makes Anthony Weiner look like Pat Robertson.
