"Anthony Weiner got 21 months of hard time."

That's The Daily News, stooping to the "hard time" joke.
The disgraced pol, crying and grabbing tissue after tissue, was sentenced Monday by Judge Denise Cote for sending sick messages to a 15-year-old.
Worth a click to see the courtroom sketch of the disgraced pol, crying, with Kleenex.
Weiner had sought probation. He argued he is sick and needs therapy, not incarceration.

"I victimized a young person who deserved better,” Weiner said in court. “I am not asking that I be trusted ... I ask you for the opportunity on probation to keep my sworn oath.”
There's something terribly wrong with that man. People need protection from him, but I feel sorry for him.

Remember — it was so long ago — the big impression he made back in 2010 when this clip came out:



There were those who adored that vigor and aggression. Watching it again now, I'm trying to imagine what it must feel like to be him. What a colossal screwup.

The upside is now Anthony is going to get all the sex he can handle. And then some.
I like to look on the bright side.


Yeah, prison rape is hilarious.

Really, Mr Weiner, West Side Story made a far better "argument" then you. And that was in 1957:


Gee Officer Krupke:

"We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick, sick, sick,
Like we're sociologically sick!"

"Officer Krupke, you’re really a square;
This boy don’t need a judge, he
Needs a analysis’s care!

"We’re disturbed, we’re disturbed,
We’re the most disturbed,
Like we’re psychologically disturbed!"

[BTW, could anyone get away with lyrics like this today? Or would anyone who tried get excoriated for insufficient sensitivity, or worse?]

Something Mr. Weiner should have done, but didn't.
Keep in mind Mr. Weiner brought this entirely on himself. He had countless opportunities to stop.


"Grow up."

Why? I'm pissing off all the right people just the way I am.

And obviously deserves to be sexually assaulted for it. Yeah, I get your point.

You're also embarrassing your mother.

You're the one that brought up rape. I just mentioned sex.

Whoa! An appeal to my parentage! In the arena of ideas, you have lost.

I guess expecting the least bit of intellectual honesty from you was just hoping for too much.

Right. That statement had nothing to do with prison rape. You were just talking about consensual sex among adults. If you're going to make a statement like that at least have the guts to stand by it.

Sorry J.
You brought family into this. I don't consider you an honest broker.

Translation: I won't defend my B.S. claims. Thanks. Got it.

He'll do about 9 months of his sentence.

Swede said...

He's a vicious little shit weasel who is the complete owner of his own destruction.

Fuck him.

Which, ironically, is his biggest concern for the next 21 months.

No, J.
You resorted to ad hominum to advance your argument. Thereby proving that your argument-assertion actually-has no merit.

What is there in Wieners character to elicit such sympathy. Where is the lack thereof in yours that ignores his intended victim.
