It's been going on for almost a week now, the story about how someone hacked into Anthony Weiner's computer, inserted a lewd picture of him and then emailed it to one of his Twitter followers. The FBI won't say if it is investigating. Weiner won't say whether or not the picture is actually of him. The press and media are getting blamed, as if they were the hackers.
Suddenly, the nuclear situation in Iran is gone. Instantly, the horrible mid-western tornadoes disappeared. The Japan nuclear crisis is over, the economy is cured, we no longer have to worry about the debt ceiling and... the big Weiner is now the big story of the day. Everyone wants to know... was the picture of the wiener really the Weiner, or is the real wiener someone else? (Will they change the name of Der Wienerschnitzel to Der Weinerschnitzel?)
Yes, he has always been controversial. His virulent attacks on the Tea Party and the Republicans have alienated most of America. His despicable descriptions of conservative ideals have earned him a lot of bad names. It's not as if the whole country isn't saying to itself, "You deserve the heat, you bum," is it?
And then, in an elegant gesture, he tries to drag his arch enemy into the mess. It's our names, he laments. John Boehner and he have always had problems with their names, as if that were to explain the whole big episode away.
Frankly, the whole shebang smells like a phony publicity stunt conducted with long-dead fish. Please pass the buns and the gray poop on.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
