| It's not the lying for me. It's the sheer stupidity. |
|
This wasn't a relationship that was rooted in love. It wasn't even a private lustful affair between two (or hell, more) people. He was trolling the internet for cybersex. With anonymous people. While sitting as a very esteemed member of Congress loved by many liberals, hated by all Republicans.
He sent lewd pictures and communicated with not one, not two, not three, but SIX random women he didn't know at ALL on the internet. People he didn't know and couldn't even come close to trusting. Now it's an issue and it's the ONLY thing we're talking about. And we wouldn't be if he hadn't been such a fucking fool. His credibility is shot. He clearly has ZERO sense of judgement if he thought his actions would not get out. He might not have fucked them but he fucked those of us who supported him pretty good.
Fucking idiot. How did you think this would end, Weiner? I really thought you were a smart man.
