I gotta admit, I actually sorta feel sorry for the guy too.
I mean, he is definitely a political enemy, and he should not be representing America, but he’s a human being. I hope he doesn’t do harm to himself.
I knew there must be someone out there who felt this way. I just have a bad feeling I hope he pulls through this and learns from it.
Self afflicted destruction where one was riding high one day and at the bottom the next would be very difficult to deal with the outcome. So many of these originate with sex. I consider Weiner an incompetent arrogant loser opportunist who believed he was entitled by his position to take advantage of young women at his whim.
At least Cris Lee the other NY Congressman had the integrity to immediately recognize he made a critical mistake in maintaining credibility, and resigned immediately. Weiner at first believed he could buy time and get cover.
Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) pulled a similar stupid stunt when he was arrested and his career went crashing down.
I agree it would be difficult to deal with the realization that stupidity caused such a loss. It will take years to ever emotionally recover. A stupid mistake can be impossible for one to accept.
