"how about a Weiner - Farve cockfight?"- George Carlin

The Best Of Anthony Weiner

(3:23) http://youtu.be/mTlhFr1KYSU

High testosterone men may display the Weiner behavior just like those with superior autobiographical memory are very likely to display obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both the temporal lobe (a key area for memory) and the caudate nucleus (an area implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder and habit formation) appear to be involved with superior autobiographical memory. http://www.positscience.com/blog/2010/12/21/superior-autobiographical-memory-and-memory-bumps/

I would guess in-your-face politicians have a superior libido--part of the deal.

Maybe this whole "scandal" is a blessing in disguise for poor ole Weiner here. Finally, now, he can trade in his stuffy suit and tie for a nice long leather trench-coat and some cheap sneakers (he's got the perfect face for it).

It's never too late to jump out of the bushes and yell, "Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!'.

What a ya think, Neil?

No, ..this is not such a devastating deal, Mr. Wiener.

Some of the best years of my life were when I was living in my truck for 3 years after my children's mother and our local District Attorney took off to lay in each other's mutually-supporting and public-thieving arms.

Tony, ..I'm telling you! ..You think you are going to die! ..But guess what?? ..I learned a lot of great songs on my guitar while sleeping down in the Marina parking lot!

Try this one:

"Down Payment Blues": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvwSaJUtzeU

Maybe not as polished as Mr. Ray Charles' "I'm Busted", ..but it's so funky that I bet even Mr. Chuck Berry himself would understand and approve!

Long live life! ..notwithstanding the RAPES that government gives us!

May America survive!

Yes, MotherLoded, I find the whole brain chemistry (synapses squirting dopamine on each other) quite interesting too.

Charlie Rose needs to have on a psychiatrist and a social anthropologist to discuss modern technology. Like with Face Book, Twitter where in an instant someone can say or do something that they later regret. The entire instant gratification where words are read and mentally cause changes in behavior. Or where a Skype set up can give a person the sense of a sexual interaction while fooling the person into thinking they aren't realllly doing anything wrong or dangerous. The whole brain chemistry element makes this so interesting.

Nancy Pelosi is so outraged, she is going to call him into her chambers and pull his britches down, pull him over her knees and give him a swift spanking on his taut buttocks. That'll teach him.

poor Roger Simon, he sounds quite shooken up about the whole thing, and very concerned about, Mrs Weiner. He should go and console her (she's very Hot)

What a great show on the general theme of recklessness — reckless Gaddafi, reckless financial services industry and reckless U.S. Rep. Weiner. On the latter, even youngsters know there is no privacy and invisibility on the Web. Talk about an obsessive-compulsive self-destruct. Finally, John Burns — what an impressive journalist. Another excellent show — thank you, Charlie.

What about little boys? He needs to change the spelling of his name-Weener. That's the problem, as his mother must have told him.

Remember when David Brooks was on this year and told us how many guys named Dennis become Dentists?

Well . . . the poor guy's destiny was sealed at birth.

It is always remarkable to me how much proteges look like their mentors: here Wiener and Schumer. I think, however, this has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with having a swelled head. Maybe a kind of political intelligence run amok. Really good men (as opposed to those who tell us how good they are) will not run for office, and "the people" would not elect them if they did. People who do run nowadays, as Vidal observed, should be disqualified by the very act. But, of course, several of them have been actors. This was the first topic considered in the Constitutional Convention, and, like Hume before, by Madison in his quest for the perfect commonwealth. It forms a major current throughout the Convention, and the topic is no less relevant today. However, the Internet makes semi-anonymous correspondence easy, and that certainly has its good and bad points. Had the identities of all newspaper "scribblers" been known in 1774-5, we would likely be a part of the British Commonwealth. On the other hand, it removes users from reality, as much as playing Pac-Man. I regret to admit I didn't know an image could be sent via Twitter, but then I've never imagined anyone would be interested in following my doings (or seeing my underwear), and I am certainly not in theirs.
