wow,
The election is very far off and the wiener things will be all but forgotten, Obama numbers are pretty much back to pre-OBL killing, But you think this is a purposefully well crafted CT to distract people from the economy and other blunders, in that wiener deliberately took the fall?
Really?
You really think that or are you asserting it for discussion purposes?
I don't put it outside the realm of possibilities.
in the end, what will happen for Weiner? He's peaked in congress and didn't have the $ to win in NY mayoral race. He wants to be rich $$$$. So now, we know he's a fit little rascal with decent junk (according to barbara walters?), and we've all sexted out junk from time to time.
So yes, he'll have a TV show and get rich from it. Count on it!
And Obama? He just enjoyed 4 weeks of very minimal damage. Libyan war SHOULD have been the narrative. The debt ceiling just peaked and went to 14 trillion, and nobody is talking about it. And operation gunrunner SHOULD be HUGE news. but it's not! So yes, overall, politically, this benefitted him and appeared the minute the OBL attention stopped.
So yeah, when a super sexy scandal serves EVERYONE, I have to be curious. Dems won't lose any votes over this. Weiner will be rich, a little bit of a cad who just is a little too freaky - he's a cooler version of Spitzer and yes, he will have his own TV show. bet on it.
