When This Forum Cannot Write as Well as Mr. Rothenberg Does
Here, It Will Just Quote Him
It is hard to measure
the disgust concerning Democratic Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, a man
who had to resign from the House because his behavior was so putrid (and engaging
in behavior that is putrid by the standards of the House of Representatives is
about as high a hurdle as one can have in putrid behavior by politicians). But commentator Stuart Rothenberg, in
a piece lamenting the awful behavior this summer of politicians and others
in the public eye who happen to be Jewish (and hence an embarrassment to the
Jewish people of which this author is one) sums it up as well as anyone could.

| Anthony Weiner, contemplating where to slither to next |
.
. . what is there to say about Anthony Weiner? Are there any words to describe
this guy? I’ve heard him described as “sick” and “narcissistic.” I’d add
delusional and arrogant, though most of the words I associate with him are
unprintable. He, too, is an embarrassment for the Jewish community.
It’s
as if Weiner is an addict who can’t live a modest private life of humility. He
needs attention. He needs people to vote for him. He needs power. Actually, he
needs a punch in the nose.
“I
won’t let political pundits influence my decisions,” Weiner said about calls
for him to exit the race, apparently not understanding that his inner voice ought
to be telling him to slither out of the public square.
Yep and if any politician is capable of slithering,
it is surely Mr. Weiner.
