The Desire To Get Caught

Marty and I were talking about Congressman Anthony Weiner because of his little weiner scandal. We don't completely agree about the reason for this man's moronic behavior. I say he's just a dog like all the other cheating dogs out there (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, etc.). Marty says that men like Congressman Weiner have a mental disorder where they have low impulse control. He also says that humans are genetically designed to reproduce, and society has imposed moral rules that are good, but make it difficult for these people with low or no will power. I say that diagnosis is a bunch of BS. Call me judgmental, but Congressman Weiner is a perv and a liar to boot. My opinion is that it's fine for these guys to do whomever they want and as many as they want, but if they know they are dogs, why do they need to get married? Stay single --duh. When Weiner was caught, he said his computer was hacked. That lie is unimaginative and shows lack of intelligence, because if his computer was truly hacked, it could be easily revealed by law enforcement. Instead, his ridiculous lie made him look even worse.

There was another diagnosis that Marty and I both considered, which was that he wanted to get caught. Sometimes people who become highly successful tend to sabotage their success for some strange reason, and we agreed that this is what probably happened to Weiner. He just had the desire to get caught. What else could explain this type of stupid behavior, especially since his wife is so beautiful? Regardless of his reason for cheating and lying, his lack of regard for his wife, family, friends, and the Democratic party, makes him an extremely selfish human being who only thinks about himself. Some people say he deserves a second chance, but why would anyone want him in a position of power if he cannot be trusted? This country is in turmoil right now because of selfish people in power. I think his punishment should be to work at Wal-Mart until he earns back the trust of the public and everyone he's hurt in this scandal. What do you think his consequences should be?
