The Silliness of Weinergate

COMMENTARY: It was the icing on the absurdly scandalishous cake: one of the Howard Stern’s merry pranksters, Benjy Bronk, interrupting Congressman Anthony Weiner’s resignation press conference with a burning question: “Are you more than seven inches?”

He followed up with the question, “Were you fully erect? America demands to know!”

Some people commented on Facebook that they thought it was unfair to kick the Weiner when he was limp, but he is the one who turned his own sad episode into the best comedy of the summer.

When it comes to recent sex scandals, it’s not the act itself that’s hilarious. It’s the cover-up.

The voting public needs to grow up and recognize that politicians like sending out dick pics and get off on sexting as much their fellow Americans do.

But it’s also time for someone in Washington to lead, to stand up and say, “Yes, I really am seven inches,” and, “No, I wasn’t fully hard.” If I were Weiner, I’d be posting an “It Gets Bigger” video to YouTube.

The funniest thing is that Weiner called former president Bill Clinton, to apologize. Clinton liked chubby Jewish girls sitting under his desk who he could use like an ashtray.

Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman” sound bite is perhaps the most memorable moment of his presidency. And who can forget the “I- just have a wide stance” excuse used by former Republican senator Larry Craig to explain his arrest for trying beat his senatorial meat in an airport bathroom stall with an undercover cop.
Had Craig simply said, “I needed a lay on my layover,” we would have all forgotten about him by now.

It is absolutely beyond me why these sex scandals end political careers, other than the fact that we see what creative bald-faced liars our leaders are.
