IMO the problem isn't that Anthony Weiner is a douche who can't control his fantasies, but that he's an egotistical, self-centered ass who can't ever admit that he isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread. He actually can't tell when he's gone off the rails. As a result, he can't see the utter contempt that he attracts.
New Yorkers don't have to settle this low for a mayor. The rest of us also have our own collections of egotistical, self-centered politicians pandering for votes. We shouldn't settle that low either.

"Washington is too gridlocked to attract the kind of results-oriented politicians we need to break the gridlock."
