Anthony Weiner’s sexual behavior may have underlying issues (No, really? REALLY?!?)
The Washington Post ^ | 7/24/2013 | Lena H. Sun and Meeri Kim

The lewd behavior that New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner engaged in suggests he is struggling with more than bad behavior and could be dealing with a variety of issues driving his problematic sexual behavior, experts said.

But doctors, clinical psychologists and sex therapists differ on the role of biology, as well as issues such as anxiety, depression and insecurity.

Fred Berlin, director of the Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said many of his patients exhibit behavior similar to Weiner’s, although he and other experts cautioned that they could not speak to the former congressman’s specific situation.

“It’s driven behavior,” said Berlin, a psychiatrist who has been treating patients for more than 30 years. “People are feeling they are pushed to act a certain way even though their intellect and their conscience may be telling them otherwise.”

You don’t understand. He is the victim here. It is not his fault. ;-)

It’s impossible to find a liberal politician who is a decent human being.

This guy is a real sicko.

He is a “F’n Pervert! Enough said. His wife is “Dog Ugly” Not her fault but to be stuck with that “twit” WE WE pounder is more than any woman deserves. Lust for power is a prevision in itself.

Not sure. Is being a typical slutty self-centered liberal dickhead considered an "underlying issue"?

Very telling.

I'm not even a psychiatrist and I can tell that Weiner’s problem is nothing new - it's just exhibitionism - a plain, old-fashioned flasher using modern technology - accompanied with narcissism. That's why he is in politics!

Yes it was. Weiner is an arrogant little prick. Back when he resigned I was applauding the move because I remember this video and what an ass he made of himself and how he deserved his fate. I can't believe the worm is back.

They are lazy and worship Ba’al. It is easier to sell your soul for power, wealth, esp. in politics-— than be a hard-working, honest, good, decent human being and still get ahead......As Machiavelli would say-—nice guys don’t gain power. It is really very rare.....that is why corruption is inevitable in bureaucracies.

He is not very attractive and he’s little for a guy so he may have major inferiority complex -—doesn’t have a lot going for him that would make fame and power easy—he would have to cheat, beg, sell his soul for money-—get on his knees to the money bags who are evil as sin.

Men—as you describe-—have no character, which is created in the formative years by good parents-—a mother and father and Judeo-Christian ethics.

Weiner's problem isn't that he's a pervert; it's that he's the wrong kind of pervert. All he has to do is sext a few pics to some well-placed NY homos and he'd win the election in a landslide.

New York deserves to be the place where Wiener shows off his inadequacies.

I don’t think he has club feet.

They used to say that the ideal German was thin like Hermann Goering, tall like Josef Gobels, and blond like Adolf Hitler.

A. Weiner was born this way, and needs to be accepted for his sexual orientation. Acceptance must be without judgement, both from his wife and the public. A. Weiner's sexual orientation was formed genetically, so A. Weiner can't be judged or stereotyped - such behavior would be A. WeinerPhobic, and hateful to A. Weiner's sexual orientation.

Do we know that A. Weiner made a deal with Huma in which Human can be involved with Hillary's carpet ? No, such a munching trade has not been made public - so how can we know exactly why Huma has stood by A. Weiner during his hard decision to continue his sexual orientation as a serial mobile phone flasher and phone sex addict with strangers?

New York deserves A. Weiner, and should not judge A. Weiner's sexual orientation. Huma should be encouraged to come out of the closet, if she is in fact involved with Hillary. If not, Huma should continue to support A. Weiner anyway.

LOL! Good one.

And Goering said if Berlin was ever bombed, he change his name to a Jewish name.

I didn’t know Goebbels had club feet.

Weiner amuses himself while Huma has her nose in Hillary’s business? I think you you have come up with the only logical explanation as to how Anthony and Huma have been able to stay married.

Meyer....Goering said he would change his name to Meyer.

Goering’s father was governor general of German South West Africa colony.

Per Wikipedia:
Göring’s first action was to gain a ‘protection treaty’ with the leading Herero chief, Maharero. The treaty of protection wasn’t worth the paper it was written on, as Göring was in no position to offer assistance. Repeated, successful armed attacks by the Nama clan of Hendrik Witbooi proved the point. The treaty was torn up a few years later anyway by Mahrero, who also expelled Göring from Hereroland: the behaviour of the Germans had become too much and, worst of all, Göring had—perhaps unwittingly—extended his house on top of a Herero ancestral graveyard. The gold rush was a hoax, however, for the purported gold deposits were nothing apart from the remains of gold pieces fired at a rock face. The identity of the hoaxer remains a mystery, but suspicion falls on Göring making a last-ditch, desperate attempt to bring investment into the protectorate, and thus save his failing mission.
