Honestly 50% of Anthony Wieners problems are due to his name

Yeah, he has screwed up. But that damm last name just makes it so, so easy for the media, the pundits, and all the late night comedy shows to just keep harping on it. They can't help it, it is too easy to make the jokes and innuendo.

If he was Anthony Hamburger his missteps wouldn't get near the coverage.

By that standard, they should also be denied coffee, booze and sugar and getting red carded for calling names and bullying.

Which might actually improve that birdcage liner.

Getting as far as he did with a name open for ridicule is hard, but his downfall is not about his name, imo.

"Most wounds are self-inflicted."

I believe that very much applies in this case.

I hear that when he came to America, his mother, Munchma, changed to to Weiner from Quchi.

I disagree. I believe that 100% of Anthony Weiner's problems are because of his actions.
