“”beautiful””
Holy smoke! If she’s beautiful, her husband is handsome..
He’s an addict because he can get away with it and there are never any consequences to him. Incidentally, I just saw a study in the WSJ that said there’s no such thing as a “sex addict,” and this has just been a convenient claim in our therapeutic age to excuse bad or even illegal behavior by prominent people.
I think a lot of this is because people like Clinton and Wiener and Obama think that they will get sympathy by claiming that they are working out their personal therapeutic dramas in public. Obama claims he is making himself feel better for having been abandoned by his African father by trying to create a black persona; Wiener is trying to make himself seem like somebody with a irresistible thirst for danger that belies his whiny nerdishness; and Clinton, just a good ol’ boy who simply can’t control his loveable, feckless nature. They think voters will be sympathetic to them — and unfortunately, they seem to be right.
I agree with you that politicians (and other people) do use the term “addict” to gain sympathy and excuse their bad behavior. But, just for the record, when I said Weiner is an addict, I didn’t mean that anyone should feel sorry for him. He deserves no sympathy at all. By saying he’s an “addict,” I’m saying that he will never change. Any woman who stays with one of these guys is fooling herself if she believes he will ever stop.
Another term that I think fits (in many cases) is “sociopath.”
Yes, sociopath fits...I can think of a certain other prominent person it fits, too!
She's not standing by her man. She's carrying out her assignment.
It's a little obscure to me WHY it's Weiner, and why the AJC is funding their lifestyle, given her deep MB connections, but hey, what do I know.
I presume that anything that happens involving Weiner and Huma is just part of a scheme to place her in the HRC White House as an agent of influence. Maybe the brains behind the MB see this pairing with a perverted Jewish American as a way to "Americanize" her, given what they think of us that may not be too far-fetched.
