Anthony Weiner Gets Hard Time

That’s the New York Post headline, and who are we to improve on the experts?

The disgraced ex-congressman broke down crying as he was sentenced to 21 months in prison Monday for convincing a high school student to undress and touch herself via Skype in 2016.

“This was a serious crime. It’s a serious crime that deserves serious punishment,” Manhattan federal Judge Denise Cote said as the convicted sext fiend dropped his head into his hand and wept.

After the courtroom cleared, Weiner sat crying in his chair with his lawyers patting him on the back. His mom also sat crying on the bench behind him, sitting next to Weiner’s brother Jason and Weiner’s dad.

Far be it for me to kick a man while he’s down—

Ha! Just kidding! It’s Anthony Weiner we’re talking about here! He deserves to be kicked.

Repeatedly.

What sort of sex fiend brings his mother to sit next to him at his sentencing hearing? And crying, when he went in knowing he had already been convicted, when he’s getting only a fraction of the sentence he could have gotten, just bespeaks what a pathetic little weasel he is.

It would be best for the nation for Weiner to do his time and then disappear from sight. It would be best for the Republican Party for Weiner to immediately announce he’s running for office again upon his release (or even before). But I suspect Democrats will simply have to find a way to lose elections without having Weiner in the public spotlight.

I’m pretty sure they’re up to the task.

    He will not do hard time. He will go to Club Fed. He will have to eat with and hang out with the child molesters. Maybe pay for protection too.
    As for his crying, he is just a big sissy.
