New poem: THE LUST SONG OF ANTHONY WEINER

shall I dare
shall I dare

time to step
upon the stairs
to the basement
where the computer
is waiting
waiting just for me and you

in the chatroom
you and I
come and go
talking of POLITICO
when not sending photos
back and forth

someday maybe baby
we'll have Chicago
you can shop the Magnificent Mile
while I plan my campaign for NYC Mayor
in our private condominium for two

let's talk health care
I know it turns you on
and it turns me on
when you're turned on

please don't talk to anyone about this,
especially PEOPLE magazine
Huma believes everything's fine
just like I said in the interview

Bill/Hillary 1992 and Anthony/Huma in 2013.

Re Anthony Weiner's misdeeds.

As I write this post, it looks as if Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) may be getting the final shove off the cliff of resignation: there are revelations that Weiner chatted online with a 17-year-old female (junior in high school, to be exact).  And, given Weiner's previous lie-and-stonewall regarding his other cyber-and-phone activities, one hopes this time we can take at face value his statement that nothing inappropriate occurred between him and the teenage girl..

Of course, this news was first ejaculated (sorry) onto FoxNews.com before I read it on AOL/Huffington Post.

Personally, I'd only want to see Weiner resign if his sexual behavior was on government time instead of in the confined space of his own home.  It would be a good idea for Weiner to aim for keeping his House seat by getting some sex addiction-and-marriage counseling--taking a leave of absence for awhile.

But, given Weiner's Spitzer-esque penchant for making enemies (with the right, and presumably, the Obama "center"), plus his stupidity and recklessness, plus the kind of sneering, self-and-business-serving behavior from Andrew Breitbart (a lot easier for me to dislike than, say, Kenneth Starr, who seemed more sincere in his righteousness or self-righteousness), it's safe to guess that some kind of exit strategy will be devised long before a Nancy Pelosi-led investigation.

[UPDATE: Weiner's opting for treatment http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/11/anthony-weiner-treatment_n_875422.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%7C70084]
