The Naked Truth about Wiener(s)

I promised a post on the Wiener.  Now keep in mind I'm not a political pundit, just a Canadian and female observer.  I have followed the story like most, on the net and in the news.  I had no idea who he was prior to the scandal.  I had no idea who his wife was prior to the scandal.  I have no idea which side of the house he sits on, I say this because I have no political motivation in writing about it.  I'm interested only as a person curious about human behaviour.

1.  I think he's got some brain function challenges.
2.  The net meaning blogging, vlogging, twitter and Facebook etc etc have opened the door to public stupidness instead of just plain stupid that got discovered by your immediate family.
3.  His defence has backfired.

1.

A guy who enters into high risk behaviour like his and has much to lose has to have some issues with his brain function.  I don't mean as in stupid, I mean as in how his brain fires.  He needs to stimulate his brain in order for him to feel 'normal' and by engaging in this behaviour he does.  He may have adult attention deficit disorder.  A brain like that while resting actually fires less than an average brain, creating drama, risk, challenge makes his brain fire more and work better.  He's a highly intelligent man, his behaviour is not about smarts, it's about neurones.

I'm a blogger and I have walked the line of stupidity and discovery a few times.  I have much less to lose than a man who may run for Mayor of New York or higher, but I still have a bit of risk.  Wiener accidentally sent a titillating (cockilating) picture to his public instead of an individual.  I can't imagine what he felt like when he realized his error.  His whole body must have gone into shock and accompanying nausea.  That's the danger of the www, it's too easy to do the wrong thing.  I have a persona and a real life.  If I uploaded one of my half naked shots to my 'real' Facebook where family, co-workers and friends visit, I can't even imagine how awful it would be.  Not showing my face and/or other body parts for a few years occurs to me.  He didn't have that option and went into damage control. Hacking was the reason.  He didn't deny the shots were his.  Most say because they were too darn flattering.  The excuse fell flat because he had sent them to too many women and at least one was looking to cash in.  So he confessed...

The confession with tears.  Dumb.  Do. Not. Feel. Shame.  Do a Letterman.  Do a boys will be boys scenario.  Be a man.  Own it and say "I should take a How to Twitter lesson".   Now he says he's entering into therapy.  For what?  Doing what most men do anyway?  How big would that class be?  Now if he's going to check his brain function and discover why he engages in high risk behaviour that's another thing.  Cuz seriously...you took a picture of your face with a piece of paper that said "me" on it and sent it to a woman when she couldn't believe you said who you said you were!  Be cockrock69 but don't fricken show your face man.  Sex-text to the high heavens, but don't use an address that can be linked to the real you.  I believe your wife knows you and even accepts you...but she didn't think you'd be that dumb, she didn't think you'd take your little fun to her real world life.  Her friend Hillary must be giving her some good advice right now, I can just imagine how that goes, "Well I forgave Bill and he actually came on that girl, so cock pics aren't really that bad."

Wiener is going to be out sooner than he'd like.  It's beyond his control, and for that man, it must really suck.  Wiener if you're reading this my handle is NeedWienerBad.  *wink
