Honestly 50% of Anthony Wieners problems are due to his name [View all]

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.
