Opposition to Weiner: NOT prudery. He’s a sick, lying buffoon, & was so after the 1ST incident.
For most people, I think, it is not prudery, nor is it the result of any conspiracy, that makes him an unacceptable public servant. I believe that he is unacceptable to so many people due to his sick, embarrassing, dishonest, and buffoonish behavior. He’s also a psychologically abusive husband by virtue of repeatedly and publicly humiliating his wife. As such, he has lost the ability to engender the respect of the various constituencies he represents, or of those with whom he has to work as he fulfills his duties. Without the ability to engender respect, he lacks what it takes to be an effective public office holder.
These factors combine to make him unworthy of holding ANY public office, which has been the case since the first set of incidents was reported last year. Some people seem to discount the importance of a leader’s personal makeup, and how that affects his or her ability to lead and inspire people. A mayor, especially a mayor of a major city such as New York, has to represent his or her city when wooing new businesses, when retaining existing businesses, when trying to affect state and federal legislation, and when he or she has to rally the citizenry behind a cause. Because of his ridiculous and vile behavior, he lacks the qualities necessary to properly discharge those duties. He is a joke!
I would be totally embarrassed to have this buffoon lead my city, irrespective of his intelligence, his governmental experience, or his overall abilities. Almost nobody respects him, and by the way, he has a particularly horrible record as a member of Congress due to accomplishing very little, and due to his record of abusing other members of Congress (even those on his side of the aisle) and his aides.
It is time for him to disappear from the public spotlight.
