Weiner cannot be incarcerated for long enough to punish him for what he's done.
Former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D – HELL), was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting an underage teen and asking her to perform sexual acts on Skype and Snapchat.
The New York Daily News published a fairly arresting courtroom sketch of his sentencing:
While “crying and grabbing tissue after tissue,” Weiner asked for probation for his crimes. From the NYDN:
“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.”
Judge Denise Cote was unmoved. “This was a serious crime, and it’s a serious crime that deserves serious punishment,” she said.
The 21-month sentence seems the least we can do to punish Anthony Weiner. People have been very focused on the political fallout from his behavior, but let’s not lose sight of the actual victim here. Anthony Weiner did not fall for “jail bait.” Weiner sexted a 15-year-old, AFTER he knew she was 15, and encouraged her to perform sexually explicit acts for his enjoyment. His conduct was gross and CLEARLY criminal. This is not about a famous man sending dick-pics out into the ether. This is about a 53-year-old man having an illicit relationship with a known 15-year-old. This is Humbert Humbert with a smartphone. It is not okay.
But… I mean Jesus the political fallout from Anthony Weiner’s behavior is MASSIVE when you think about it. You don’t have to believe in chaos theory to draw the line here: if Anthony Weiner does NOT sext a 15-year-old, Hillary Clinton IS PROBABLY the first woman president. James Comey is probably still the director of the F.B.I. The government is protecting itself from foreign influence in our elections, instead of trying to pretend that it never happened. We’re not at war with North Korea.
Can you make an argument that all these things would have happened anyway? Sure. But as proximate causes go, Anthony Weiner is one hell of a Long Island Railroad employee.
Anthony Weiner’s penis is the Archduke Ferdinand of this timeline. His masturbatory fantasies are now in the Pantheon of historical “what ifs.”
He should be crying. We all should be crying. Anthony Weiner was sentenced for engaging in sexually explicit behavior with an underage girl. But Weiner sentenced America to 248 days (and counting) of total incompetence. He is a monster.
Egad. Now there's a metaphor I didn't expect. That'd make a hell of an employment interview question, wouldn't it? "Mr. Drill, tell us what historical figure your penis most resembles." Not quite sure how I'd field that one.
As for Mr. Weiner's wiener, I should think the good Archduke could do a little better. Ferdy was a pretty good guy all things considered, and probably didn't deserve the bullet he caught or the commemoration as some New York pervert's shriveled choad. Just a thought.
Weiner is crying because this time he’ll be the rapee instead of rapist in jail.
I’m sure he gets access to a computer in that prison. There will always be something for him to do.

Yeah baby all night I could... whatchu doin in August 2019??
I’m really surprised Weiner had not earlier checked into a sex rehab clinic, then declared he was a victim himself of a sexually confused culture therefore deserving of sympathy, not justice.
Had he declared himself a LBTQUTVWXY&Z - he might have gotten off scot free.
Don’t perverts have a protected class privilege these days?
“Anthony Weiner Cries Because There’s Nothing Left For Him To Do”
Nope, their is one more thing to do, he must get some lipstick & prep. H and go meet his new lover!!!
This is NOT going to work out well for the “weiner”!!!!
Proving once again what a low life weasley little perv he is. Anyone with an ounce of backbone would not snivel like a baby. The only one who should be crying is his son out of embarrassment who his parents are.
LOL. It does not matter where he moves, or what the local community standards are, he will always be judged by the inflexible standard of the U.S. Probation Office. I recall watching a man brought up for a probation revocation hearing. His initial offence was something drug related, and he had moved to New Orleans and few years later was arrested for being drunk in public. Drunk in Public in NOL must be like third degree littering by local standards, but the court was going to whack him big time anyway.
Do you know if he will have to serve half (10.5 months), before being released on parole for good behavior? If so, is it likely he will not be sent to the “big house”, but will do his time in a county jail?
The author convinced me, Weiner should get a small sentence reduction for this service to the country.
A savvy prosecutor would leverage this to get him to flip on the clintons.
Imagine this happening in some movie from the 1930s or 40s. George Raft, James Cagney or Humphrey Bogart would have slapped this guy into next week.
He’s already proven you correct. This was not his first or second instance of publicly humiliating himself.
This was THE THIRD TIME he’s been caught.
A broken Weiner is not a pretty sight
He can turn on Hillary and the rest of the mutts that’s what.
I don’t think everyone read the last paragraph.
“He should be crying. We all should be crying. Anthony Weiner was sentenced for engaging in sexually explicit behavior with an underage girl. But Weiner sentenced America to 248 days (and counting) of total incompetence. He is a monster.”
The entire column is taking a shot at Trump.
That there was hysterical!
will huma visit him? I want pics!
Little Weiner was watching way too much porn
