Anthony Weiner

Anthony Weiner, said to be a "rising star" among democrats, spoiled by his own crudeness, animal tendencies, and naivety. I heard, "Why would he lie?" to which I must argue, why WOULDN'T he lie? Explicit photos of himself to young girls behind his wife is inexcusable. Beyond dishonesty to his wife, he understood the magnitude to which the media would blow this and how they will dig deeper and exploit it further and cause more difficulty to he and his wife. And they have. And they continue. This rising star, instead of stumbling and regaining his steps, is bombarded by cameras and questions about his personal life and the most pressing issues regarding the state of the United States are ignored... because there's gossip. It is Anthony Weiner's fault for what he did and that he lied (which he has admitted), but it's the media's fault for being little distracted children who, apparently, like to look at pictures of Anthony Weiner's privates.
