Anthony Weiner victim of a sex trap it looks like

I met Anthony Weiner about a month ago when he came to my office to solicit Irish American support for his mayoral run in 2013.
He is one sharp cookie.
He had an agenda ready and went at it, issues of concern to the Irish American community like immigration and parades and he hit every mark.
There is no way I can believe this razor sharp young candidate sent a dumb and offensive twitter to a woman he never met at the weekend.
This stinks to high heaven and has all the hallmarks of a dirty tricks campaign.
I know one should never be surprised when a sex scandal engulfs a well known figure. There are annual rituals these days from Bill Clinton to Dominique Strauss Khan.
But Anthony Weiner strikes me as a political animal, a man who will let nothing and I mean nothing get in the way of his political ambition.
He is very reminiscent of his political mentor Senator Chuck Schumer who is sharp as a shark when it comes to scoring political points.
Anthony Weiner will be a major contender for Mayor of New York in 2013 of that I am certain.
And I'm pretty sure he did not send a crazy text or do anything that would risk that bright career.

Your Sir .. are letting your mortal emotions of your "feelings", to control your critical thinking process. When a political figure, who gladly demeans the truth of facts by twisting words, stands up before the electorate and REFUSES to answer questions directly, then we have Evil deceit NOT THE Spirit of a truthful man!! We don't care how you feel Mr. O'Dowd!! For you have clearly fallen into the grasp of that Evil when you stated "There is no way I CAN BELIEVE this razor sharp young candidate sent a dumb and offensive twitter to a woman he never met at the weekend". Oh Really, have we heard this propaganda before from the media types like you? Do we have S T U P I D written on our foreheads Sir? Your statement shows YOU DON'T KNOW HOW EVIL works thru people, in people, to get it's desired result. It deceives, it comes to kill and destroy Grace and goodness. Understand Sir how it's methods deceive, to control, how it hungers to use it's methods of that control, by preying upon the IGNORANCE (the not knowing) of man. If Weiner is lying to the FBI, a felony, then he is following in line with the others beset with that Evil that has demeaned our political process and our representative Republic. It is that Evil which comes to destroy our national character, our ethics, our moral courage which we desire in our elected "representatives". Deceit is Evil, it's not just telling "white lies", but also not answering questions directly. For if Weiner, or any politician, can be swayed by a 21 co-ed .... then we really MUST understand more about what we did elect in the first place !!! Is he a man of substance, or just another dirty corrupt slime-ball who will stop at nothing to deceive "we the people" for his own gain, not ours !! You call it his "ambition" I'll call it what it is Evil deceit
