Gov Ed Rendell calls for Weiner to step down, admit himself to inpatient rehab.

[Atman]

Rendell was on Tweety's show yesterday defending AW, but now says the new pic demonstrates that Weiner is ill and needs to seek professional help. Likened him to a crack addict.

Just now on Tweety's show.

2. Just saw that....where is this new x-rated pic?

Be curious to see what all the hub bub is about.

3. What new pic? The one showing his dick? Look, maybe the guy needs

help just because he's behaved self-destructively, but honestly, wanting to show some hot woman your dick is a pretty normal impulse among heterosexual men. It's just a shame that he didn't realize the risk involved or ignored the risk involved. That ignoring of the risk is pathological, but I don't think it's pathological for a hetero man to want sex of one sort or another with hot young women.

4. rehab for what? Christ.

BTW, Ed Rendell just ended his marriage over an affair that was going on while he was governor.

Who needs rehab, Ed?

5. I just saw that, too.

He seems to be very concerned for Weiner. I think he's right about AW needing psych help.

6. Why do you think Weiner needs psychiatric help?

7. I suspect Ed is like most of my generation

We can't understand why anyone would have their parts circulating among total strangers.

When we were teenagers there was a man who used to ride a bicycle in our neighborhood. We'd be up in a particular tree in summer eating fruit, performing all sorts of gymnastics and having a good time and he's ride into the little alley between our property and the neighbors and show us his parts - we'd hoot with laughter until one day the neighbor called the police and they picked him up.

Now I know this appears to be a generational things, but it just isn't normal behavior- especially for a newly wed.

Sadly - given his progressive views - he's a goner.

8. The only rehab Rep. Weiner needs

is the one to learn how to freaking Twitter properly.
