As a non-subscriber, I could only read the first page of that new Yorker article, but even that illustrated one key difference about sociopaths: non-sociopaths generally only lie when they have to, but sociopaths will like freely all the time, about everything, in order to make themselves look better. <br /><br />I was actually debating whether to write a sociopath alert post about Weiner, but so far haven't made up my mind about whether he's an actual sociopath or just an extremely narcissistic personality; I'm leaning toward sociopath, especially after reading that long article about him in the Times on June 13th, but haven't completely made up my mind yet. <br /><br />By the way, I wrote about Gerhartsreiter at length on April 13th of this year (and yes, I did mention his thin lips).

And he has thin lips!<br /><br />http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/06/10/130610fa_fact_kirnRemnantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-68556056327091737442013-07-01T17:39:00.180-04:002013-07-01T17:39:00.180-04:00Ambrose --

I have to say, after all the fun I've made of Weiner, I'd actually prefer him to Christine Quinn, who is very much beholden to various real estate interests as well as virtually every major municipal union in the city. Weiner, because he was considered an outcast, got the backing of none of the major political players and is therefore beholden to none of them. I hope he gets the Democratic nomination.

In any event, I have a hard time (no pun intended) thinking this guy could ever overcome (again, no pun intended) his past history. In many respects he seems like an upright guy (no pun intended) but I just don't think he could ever be taken seriously enough to get elected. I'll stop now but thanks for the funny article.
