What a Knob

The biggest story in America at the moment seems to be 'Weinergate'.

The not so wholesome tale of a once respected Democratic Congressman from New York - Anthony Weiner - whose name is almost a synonym for a penis or 'wiener' as the Amercians say.

Now Mr Weiner - for reasons best known to himself - sent a text messages via Twitter to a young woman almost half his age - and attached a picture of his underpants.

The problem was that Mr Weiner (and Mr Weiner's wiener) was still in his underpants at the time.

And the offending picture fell into the hands of a blogger who spilled the beans to the world's press.

So Mr Weiner is now in the doghouse - as you can imagine - as his online exploits continued to be exposed by other women to whom he sent lewd texts or tweets.

Unsurprisingly, the Congressman is now fighting for his political life.

In a curious twist, Mr Weiner is married to Huma Abedin - deputy chief of staff to Hilary Clinton.

But I think I will have to throw up somewhere if we witness yet another example of a betrayed wife 'standing by her man' - a la Anne Sinclair in the Dominique Strauss-Khan affair.

I only hope there's not a picture of John Prescott's underpants about to emerge from cyberspace - linked to his bonking on the job with a junior, female civil servant - while 'serving' the country as Deputy Prime Minister.

Now that would be too much to bear.
