Weiner's a Twitter Twit

Mark Steyn has put this into the persective of Occam’s Razor (in this case true one liners) or as defined, Occam’s razor is more commonly described as ‘the simplest answer is most often correct,’ "it’s Weiner’s junk, and he tweeted it."

Here they are from the bottom up!
Weiner's Twitter Tweak - National Review Online
JUNE 4, 2011 by Mark Steyn

If Weiner doesn't even write his own tweets, can he do anything for himself?
When Weiners have staffers, it’s very difficult to have limited government: You cannot have a small state run by big Weiners.

“You have statements that my office has put out.” Herein lies the full horror of American politics in the death throes of the republic: A congressman has nothing better to do of an evening than tweet his crotch to coeds, but he requires an “office” with “staffers” to “put out” “statements” on the subject.

...tweets are essential to Weiner’s sense of his own indispensability, he cannot admit that he’s lip-synching. It would be like Charlie Sheen confessing that it was a body-double under the bevy of hookers and suitcase of coke.

According to Christopher Hitchens, politics is show business for ugly people. If Anthony Weiner is anything to go by, it seems more like high school for ugly people. And Weiner is among the ugliest!

So Power Corrupts and absolutely corrupts the ugly. We only have to go back the Nero, or Caligula, or Uday and Husay cruising for their rape victims. They did this to victims because they could, at least until these power hungry scum were finally killed. Not a bad outcome, 'terminal corruption' for the power ugly.
