If Anthony Weiner doesn’t like people scrutinizing his behavior, measuring his character, and comparing his words with his creepy deeds, maybe he shouldn’t be, you know, running for public office again.

What's better? Anthony Weiner's stupid aggressiveness, or yelling at a voter with food in his mouth http://t.co/Lb8cLAqdY5 ht @MaeveReston

Jewish voter to Weiner: “You’re a bad example for the people. Your behavior’s deviant. It’s not normal behavior" http://t.co/y2suUmYKn3

No, @anthonyweiner, you are running for public office. That means we should judge you. http://t.co/YnJlcq94rD

Anthony Weiner does a great impersonation of a low-functioning narcissistic sociopath with no self-awareness. https://t.co/qb7j5yMGyZ

And among the many other social graces Anthony Weiner never learned: Learning not to talk with your mouth full.

Mostly I don't like that he argues with his mouth full. MT @chucktodd: RT @politicalwire: Weiner shouts with a voter http://t.co/zvUdqYizxl

Don't argue with your mouth full. RT @MaeveReston: OMG. Anthony Weiner. http://t.co/4iDJN1A9db

Update:

Weiner’s come out swinging against all the haters:

.@RossBarkan if by melt down you mean stood up to a heckler. Yep. Did that. That's what Mayors have to do sometimes.

— Anthony Weiner (@anthonyweiner) September 4, 2013

(Note: Anthony Weiner is not the mayor. Of any city.)

.@moneyries in defense of me, the guy waited til I took a bite of honey cake to take a run at me.

— Anthony Weiner (@anthonyweiner) September 4, 2013

It wasn’t his fault!

Is "honey cake" name of your new sexting partner? MT @anthonyweiner: the guy waited til I took a bite of honey cake to take a run at me.

Heh.

Update:

Weiner spox sends out longer video, w/ guy calling Weiner "scumbag," adding he's "married to an Arab." At 3:45 http://t.co/KYpWHGvEbW

— Kate Taylor (@katetaylornyt) September 4, 2013

Say what you will about Anthony Weiner… but making his marriage to an Arab a negative is racist. https://t.co/l1C0jmbL89

Several tweeters who initially condemned Weiner’s actions are apologizing:

So it appears I owe an apology to…Anthony Weiner. Guy talked smack about his wife.

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) September 4, 2013

same here. RT @jpodhoretz: So it appears I owe an apology to…Anthony Weiner. Guy talked smack about his wife.

— Leonardo Alcivar (@alcivar) September 4, 2013

Think I owe Anthony an apology. RT @TheFix Wait a minute…Anthony Weiner is starting to look a LOT better here….http://t.co/trRgAI7SLK

Perhaps Weiner, who still hasn’t shown true remorse after lying to the public, could take a lesson from them.
