He was probably a Dick. Note JD's avatar there as well:

Used to know a guy with a name very similar to Weiner's.
 It had the same meaning.

This poor guy handled the situation quite differently. He was very intelligent, but incredibly shy. And from the first time he met you and in nearly every subsequent conversation, he would apologize about his name.

He was extremely neurotic. It was just tragic.

He must have been the brunt of all the bully's jokes from the time he started kindergarten.

That is why I really think we should cut Weiner some slack. He is coping with a problem that probably started at an early age and is due to bullying. That would also explain his tremendous courage in facing down opponents. He got lots of practice doing that as a child.

It occurred to me that had I not known someone with a similar problem, I would not have understood why Weiner did what he did. So I thought I should explain it.

You want a name that gets you ridiculed? try "Dick Trickle". Probably the winningest race car driver ever...google him.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Thank God he's good at something.  Otherwise, that would just be embarrassing.

  • Not right, but not left, either.
I don't see why the DUmmies are so worked up.  according to the People's Cube, the weiner on Weiner was obviously a plant by the Republicans, since Democrats don't have weiners to begin with.   :popcorn:

I know a guy named Hymen Kuntz. I'm just sayin!
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

  • Your president, too.
I wonder if Priestly was talking about Carl. His first name is Carl, but instead of going by Carl he uses the initial "C". His last name is Mylittletallywacker.

Or maybe Priestly was talking about Ike. Ike's middle name is Bagwell, and he often uses the initials "I" and "B" instead of using his actual names. His last name is Readytowhipmypeckerout.

They both did an interview with the local paper. I found a transcript.

-------

Reporter: I know this has got to be embarrassing to you.

C: You don't know the half of it. It's terrible.

I.B.: Yeah, unless you've experienced it yourself you really can't know how we feel.

Reporter: Do people tease you a lot?

I.B.: Constantly.

C: Sometimes to the point that you just want to separate yourself from society completely.

Reporter: Has it affected your love life?

C: What love life?

I.B.: Why would we want to subject any one to the shame and humiliation that we feel?

Reporter: Have you thought about changing your names?

C: What good would that do?

Reporter: Well, your names are the source of your problems. Changing them seems like the sensible thing to do.

I.B.: I don't understand. I mean, I know we have strange names and all, but that's just life. Even if we changed them the people who know us will still know that our parents vote democrat.

Reporter: Vote democrat?

C: Yeah man. Can you imagine the shame? Knowing every election our parents are going to vote democrat? How's a decent guy supposed to live that down?

I once knew a family named Horr. It was pronounced "hahr".

I went to school with a nice girl with the last name of Kuntz, pronounced Koontz, the German way.  Nobody gave her crap because she was just a good kid all around.  Anthony Weiner got picked on in part, because he was probably an insufferable little shit.
