Zip It Up Rep. Weiner

So a U.S. congressman with the last name “Weiner” exposed himself and tweeted pictures of his “Weiner” to the world.

Then of course, he denied he ever did it—until a blogger exposed the truth (pardon the bad pun but I just couldn’t resist…)

Why are we all surprised?

I mean, the guy’s name is “Weiner.” If I had a penis, I’d whip it out frequently too to take photos of it too—just because my last name was “Weiner!”

But what really disturbs me is the media scrutiny his wife of only 11 months now has to endure, not to mention the irony of whom she currently works for—Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Mrs. “Weiner” (a.k.a. Human Abedin) has worked for the former N.Y Senator for 14 years and has since followed her to the State Department, where she works a senior aide.

I wonder how that conversation between the long-term employer and employee went after that story broke? What, did the two women compare notes on how to survive yet another male politician behaving badly?

Hillary managed to keep her head up high during the whole Monica Lewinsky fiansco and she stood by her man (and still does). But back then when she was calling the whole affair a “right wing conspiracy” we didn’t have cell phones with cameras. We didn’t have a society built on social media. And many of us couldn’t even fathom a world where we would be blogging and posting and politicians would be tweeting pictures of their “Weiners” to the world because they well, could.

Do you see Mrs. Weiner popping a boob and taking a photo of it for the world? No. Why? Because she’s a little busy ummm…doing her job. A lesson these men need to start learning.
