I suppose it was not by choice, but truly the embarrassment he brought to himself and others. I was getting just a bit sick of hearing about Anthony Weiner and his — dare I say it — ‘weiner pride.’

Today, in my opinion only, he appeared a bit arrogant when he resigned. In the background I could hear shouts — some of them not exactly mentionable on this blog, due to the embarrassment. At first I thought I was listening to a reality TV show, or another arrogant newscaster broadcasting the latest ‘weiner reports.’

I find it interesting that “Weiner” would not resign until today. Didn’t his wife return home from a trip with Hillary Clinton only a few days, or hours ago? Just what made Anthony Weiner decide it was best to resign? The power of the media? I think not. The power of the people? Not. Political influence? Pressure from the women who reportedly received text messages, including a ‘porn star?’ NOT!

Perhaps Tiger Woods phoned him — persuading him to step down. NOT! Maybe his wife arrived home and they had a serious conversation! Women are strong-minded and very persuasive — when we need to be, and this is a conversation most wives will not tolerate, not to mention the embarrassment and humiliation!

What is it with these politicians and publicity seekers? Do they think they are so special that they can do ANYTHING and no one will question their actions? Or, could it be that their brains are not located within their brain cells and heads, but within a portion of their anatomy?

Regardless, I do not feel sorry for Anthony Weiner, after all his last name is Weiner for a reason. And who cares about the hackling in the background while he was speaking. The questions were annoying – almost vulgar. I could not help wondering just what is happening within our world when freedom of speech paints such an ugly, disgusting portrait of the current events and issues. I admit, I failed to listen to the remainder of his resignation speech. I’d had enough after hearing one vulgar hacker asking inquiring questions. Sorry, but I simply do not care!

As for Anthony Weiner? I hope he goes away — sailing off to a remote island where he can get therapy – if such an island exists. Or, maybe he should just become “Mr. Mom” after the new baby arrives. I am curious about his parenting skills, and I hope his wife will do the right thing for herself and her child. After all, I know many successful “Single Moms” and their children are some of the most amazing kids I’ve ever met.

Goodbye Anthony Weiner. I suppose your next media report will be as a center fold. Who cares — Anthony Weiner is — shall I say it — ah heck, never mind. I’ve got better things to do!
