Let me ask you this. If Weiner had in part blamed the tweeting of his erection on his “passion for the country”, how would you have responded? If you respond w a shrug, then you truly do not grasp this mental disorder.

I don't respond in any way. I have observed that to be a politician one needs to be narcissistic; revel in adulation; take advantage of the position for one's own benefit at the expense of those who are taxed to pay for the situation; make laws that do not apply to them; etc; etc.

I hope you’re not saying it’s normal political behavior to cite ones love for the USA to justify adultery. I know of no politician other than Newt who has used that line.

No doubt about it, Newt is not the only narcissist in congress or in government. But not all pols are narcissists by a long shot. One prime characteristic of a true narcissist is the inability to empathize. Newt has displayed this trait in spades. Even some of our most craven pols can empathize on some level. Those who lack this ability are the ones to really watch out for; they are very bad news for all around them.
