THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Anthony Weiner is still refusing to resign. That is why we need a very easy way to have some ejected from Congress. As it stands now, if someone wanted to get rid of a lawmaker in Congress the process would take at least two years. There are hearings, committee meetings and investigations that drag on and all the while the offending Congress person still goes on day to day collecting taxpayer money and hoping that the facts of their crime(s) will fade from the memory of everyone in the nation. The people should insist that Congress streamlines a procedure to "FIRE" lawmakers that commit such crimes that bring disrepute to the halls of Congress. I'm disgusted with lawmakers making laws only to protect themselves and their own private club. Folks, laws that they pass and insist we have to abide by are laws that they exempt themselves from. Why? These privileged few should be held accountable to the same laws, in the same way, that they pass for all of us across this country to adhere too.
It is because of these elaborate exemptions that they constructed which do not apply to Congress (but applies to everyone of us in the country) that will allow Weiner to skate for months, even years without being held accountable if he does not resign..
I suspect that Weiner has and has had a psychological defect probably since childhood. The psychological problem(s) Weiner has been displaying recently probably have manifested themselves over and over again through his life as he grew up. However for reasons known only to Weiner and his family the psychological issues eating at this man were ignored or never addressed.
Weiner says he is not going resign. Some of his reasons are from his own mouth. He says he is not a lawyer, never held a steady job in his life and that being a lawmaker in Washington is the only job he knows. Wow! Qualification to be a lawmaker in Washington has hit an all time low. He wants to keep working as a Washington lawmaker because he has no experience at any other type of work or profession. It appears a life of privilege and money equals "lawmaker".
During a media interview he was also heard saying: I have personal failing and I will seek help so I can "TRY" to continue to do my job. Folks, key word here is "TRY". He's going to" try" to do his job as a lawmaker. Come On!
Weiner has gone into hiding and "rehab". Rehab? For what? You don't rehab a person for exposing their penis over the Internet. To me that's a crime. People across this country are arrested every day for showing their private parts on the Internet. My feelings as a professional person is that you DO NOT run to rehab and expect to be rehabilitated for acts such as those committed by Weiner. Rehab is an excuse. It's the "in word" and the flavor of the month for celebrities and lawmakers. They expect the people across the nation to believe that if they check into rehab for a 30 day stint that all of their past inappropriate or criminal actions will be resolved and they are "CURED". Hogwash!!! I would suspect that all of these people checking in to rehab is a rouse for a legal defense and redemption of sorts.
Rehab is a good thing for those with drug and alcohol problems. It does work if rehab is structured and lengthly. Psychological problems as the ones I suspect Weiner has is a matter to be treated by a psychiatrist or psychologist and/or a Marriage, Family therapist. The same goes for Governor Schwarzenegger, Tiger Wood, etc.--. There is some problems that fall into the realm of rehab but others clearly fall under the auspices of clinical professionals with a very structured treatment plan. Folks, rehab for many of these celebrities and lawmakers is just another excuse- , no more , no less.
In any event, in Weiner's case. I hope he takes my advice once again. My words to Weiner: Do the country, the state of New York, the party, Congress, the world and yes, your wife, a polite and sincere gesture. Bow out gracefully. RESIGN, RESIGN NOW. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
