    It came out recently that Anthony Weiner, while he was still a senator, used $45,000 of campaign funds to investigate the hacking of twitter account, which he himself did. He used donations to cover it up and pretend he did not do it.

    It is a serious crime to misuse campaign donations in this way. Why has he not been charged a crime yet?

    Perhaps it will coincide with the prosecution of Republican Governor Robert F McDonnell of Virginia for similar misappropriation of funds,

    Will Anthony's Weiner be arrested for misuse of campaign funds? No! Not only will he never be arrested for anything -- he will win! He's the next mayor of NYC. People love him. He's a cute, smiling, smirking bubbly Democrat! He's a celebrity and can do no wrong in the eye of the public.

    His poll numbers don't look so go for now, but he'll make a smashing comeback. Celebrity politicians always do.
