Writers want readers to get what they are getting at. With the briefest of setups and a quotation, fellow Naptownster by birth, Dennis Perrin, triggered a neural receptor that would have led to laughter had it not been for the concurrent cringe chemical which killed the urge. He paints a painfully vivid description of why I don't care to be locked in a flying tin of American-made meat:
And lest anyone actually believe that some kind of anti-establishment hero has been taken down, I am posting excerpts from NY Rep Anthony Weiner's Wikipedia site, with my translation following each one:
Something steered him in another direction.
He assisted Giuliani in Disney-fying the more vibrant New York art scene.
He forces his staff to remain at work while he fucks off at the computer.
He also agreed with his president - who never had any intention of signing a public option - that selling out to the insurance industry is a victory for "the perfect not being the enemy."
He sometimes had more than one tab open on his browser.
He decided that including Democrats in the statement would be too bipartisan.
Having his cake and eating it on television, he insured that he'd be the enemy of FOX viewers everywhere, solidifying his liberal cred.
Israel takes precedence, even if it makes him look bat-shit crazy to almost everyone else.
See, the Clintons have absolutely no influence over me!
Theatre of the absurd: pretending like it mattered.
Has a raging hard-on.
Knowing they had the votes already, he continued to pretend that the president would have it any other way.
"Family" loyalty recidivism on the most beautiful day of their lives.
Maybe it's just a New York thing.
His voice rises a few octaves. "And to those military personnel aboard, we thank you for your sacrifice and patriotism."

He forces his staff to remain at work while he fucks off at the computer.

In May 2006, Weiner attempted to bar entry by the Palestinian delegation to the United Nations. He claimed that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas did not represent the PLO, and implied that this was because the group is listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Department. Weiner further stated that the delegation "should start packing their little Palestinian terrorist bags." Weiner went on to claim that Human Rights Watch, the New York Times, and, in particular, Amnesty International are biased against Israel.

By July 2010, Weiner had reportedly raised $3.9 million for a potential campaign in the 2013 mayoral election, and was considered a leading contender in early polls. However, his sexting scandal has caused this to be cast into doubt.
