The latest news about Anthony Weiner makes me sad.
I don’t judge him. Others will take care of that. I’ve heard so many people say so many things about him. I don’t feel, or think, any of those things. The only thing I think is, “There but the grace of God….”
He and I aren’t so far from one another, you see. These are the differences, as far as I can tell:
- I’ve never been elected to congress.
- I’ve never enjoyed sending pictures that include my face.
- I’ve never sent anyone with whom I was sexting a picture of my son.
- I’ve never shared my legal name with the women with whom I’ve exchanged photos.
Also? My wife isn’t on Hillary Clinton’s staff.
I could wax superior about 2-4, but, honestly, my superiority is luck, nothing more.
I feel for him. And for his wife. And, most of all, for his son.
Life is hard.
