Interestingly, many of his constituents didn't think he should have resigned. A congressman who sends lewd pictures of himself to many, many women...what's the big deal as long as he represents them well, apparently.
For myself, it wasn't so much the sexting - although that was pretty damn disgusting, but the fact that he lied. And lied and lied.
Reading below, about Weiner being an attractive guy - I also don't think he's attractive. He may be buff...but that face! No, thank you! But then, I've always preferred square faces to long faces.
Now, there's a piece at the Huffing and Puffington Post today. Weiner was too attractive, apparently. "Why Women Shouldn't Pick Attractive Husbands." This is a reverse of the old song out there, if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, make an ugly woman your wife. You've heard that song, Rachel, right? Goes way back to the early sixties or late fifties I think. This is by Vicki Larson, Huffing and Puffington Post.
"Watching the Anthony Weiner scandal unfold, it was hard not to wonder how a smart, accomplished, beautiful woman like Huma Abedin got herself involved with a guy like Weiner. After all, the New York Congressman was dishonest to Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a messy, public way -- confessing to sexting and sending lewd photos to a young coed after lying about it for 10 days -- after less than a year of marriage. It's probably not what a newlywed would expect, especially one who's pregnant with their first child. But, sexting sexcapades aside, the 46-year-old Weiner, whether you find him handsome or not, is a fit, intelligent, passionate, promising politician with a six-figure income who had a reputation of a ladies' man and was even named a Cosmo eligible bachelor --" See, this is the problem. Cosmo equals militant feminism. Their definition of a real guy, their definition of real men. Weiner was too attractive.
Come on, folks, he looks like an old shoe with a pickle in it. What are they asking us to believe here? "Promising politician with a six-figure income who had a reputation of a ladies' man and was even named a Cosmo eligible bachelor -- the kind of man that many, many women are drawn to. And that's where Abedin and other smart, beautiful, accomplished women often make their mistake. The more financially independent women become, the more they prefer good-looking men. But they don't just want their partners to be hotties; they want them to be masculine, physically fit, loving, educated, a few years older and making the big bucks. Oh, and they also have to really want to be a hubby and daddy.
