No one warned me about the Weiner<\/strong><\/a> documentary.<\/p>\n

I expected a fun, lurid, behind-the-scenes look at Anthony Weiner’s well-earned fall from grace. But it’s deeply depressing, on every level.<\/p>\n

I had hoped to get over it, but now he’s back, and who knows for how long. What did we do to deserve Weiner? Will we ever be free of him?<\/p>\n

The first thing that comes across in the movie is how physically unattractive he is. Believe me, even if he were a saint, you would be struck by the physical aspect.<\/p>\n

Frail and short, he is also encumbered by an enormous nose, the type that must have brought savage teasing throughout childhood and adolescence.<\/p>\n

The name and the nose combined make a lethally unfortunate burden. You feel his anger and resentment in all his machinations.<\/p>\n

He is rude to his wife on nearly every occasion, and her silent misery hangs over the film like a shroud. Why is she with him, you have to wonder. By all accounts an intelligent, competent woman, she seems like she’s like the victim of an ancient curse. She married a bad-tempered frog who just keeps getting froggier instead of turning into something good.<\/p>\n

Weiner seems gripped by a need to show the world that he has the right stuff. He appears to believe that he deserves power as well as respect, but he goes around alienating everyone around him, including his idealistic supporters. He can’t accept that people will draw the line after enough of his lies and betrayals.<\/p>\n

Of course he is a pathological flasher and liar! He is a walking lesson in what happens if your name is Weiner and you have a gigantic nose. What the fuck does anyone expect?<\/p>\n

Here’s what we need to know: Why did Huma marry him and stay for so long? And why didn’t Hillary offer Huma<\/a> the benefit of her experience?<\/p>\n

I’m afraid to find out.<\/p>\n

Thanks for nothing, James Comey<\/strong><\/a>, you fucking cunt.<\/p>\n

Thoughts?<\/p>\n
