The media ragged on Charlie Sheen for months before finally understanding the man was obviously manic. Mental Health professionals from all over were seeing this man on video, letting their opinions and visual diagnostic assessment be known, but the media could not stop their titillating hay-making for the fools who ate it up in their ignorance
Chris Matthews was one of the worst in guessing, showing his ignorance, and continuing to interrupt his guests before he allowed them to answer his questions.
Anthony Weiner admitted to sending out some lewd pictures on the Internet. In my opinion, Anthony Weiner would be a terrible loss to the House of Representatives and to our country if the service of rational logic he has provided is lost to us. It would appear to me that the man is perfectly normal, with the exception one one recently outed flaw, the need to show his masculinity by 'flashing' on the internet where it might have seemed safer than in the flesh. He is not the first to have a compulsion of that sort. Psychiatry has dealt with this problem for years but, talk therapy is not as effective and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Since Weiner is in New York where there are still some 'respected' Freudian thinkers, I wonder if he has been in the wrong kind of therapy or, in fact, any therapy at all.
I can only support this man's decision to refuse to quit. His obsessional behavior has nothing to do with his ability to do a better job as a Representative than many less mentally able and stable colleagues in the House.
