Whiner (Weiner) of the Year!
And now what you have all been waiting for… our Whine Person of the Year 2011! But of course, we went for naughty over nice, due to popular demand. Presenting Whiner of the Year 2011, Anthony Weiner.

The one on the right, being sworn into office with his wife at his side.
Or, as you might know him:
Oh, sorry. You mean you don't want to see it? But he thought women loved penis pictures! What a surprise. In case you need reminding, you can revisit the unfolding of Rep. Weiner's scandal at Gawker. Typical politician, his first instinct was to deny, deny. "I've been hacked!" Yeah, right. The problem was that too many liberal bloggers were ready to believe it, that he was hacked, and started hurling accusations at GOP blogs. Right Wing conspiracy! Oh my.
But the thing that struck me was that while Weiner claimed to have been hacked, he never denied that the pictures (this one above is the least graphic) were indeed of Weiner's wiener. Hmm.
In my liberal house with my very left-leaning husband, this actually led to an argument, the husband in support of the hacking theory and my (silly me, falling for political tricks) continuing to voice suspicion as to why he would not deny the pictures were of him. He might have been hacked (might), but to me, this still made him a dog. A lowly junkyard dog. Did this mean he had penis pictures floating around? Why did he have penis pictures? And of course, we all know how this one turned out…
I was right (naturally). The man had penis pictures. Not only that, but he sent them to random women (porn star women, not his wife) via Twitter and then claimed that he had been hacked to cover it up… prompting a week long (give or take) discussion here at the Whine Sisters on the ridiculousness of men taking pictures of their penises and assuming women want to see them. HAHAHA. Whine Sisters conclusion: Men are stupid. Well, those men. Notably Anthony "Whiner of the Year" Weiner. Congratulations to former Rep. (and new dad to a baby girl) Anthony Weiner.
In honor of Whiner of the Year, we're having a contest! Well. Not really in honor of Whiner of the Year. We're done with him. In honor of YOU, dear readers, because we love you and we haven't given anything away in the longest time, we're giving away a Kindle Fire (or the gift card equivalent, in the event you have or don't want a Kindle Fire) to one lucky commenter from now until February 13, when we will choose a winner at random from commenters, to be announced on Valentine's Day.

So don't forget to come back to us day after day, maybe many times a day, and leave a comment.
I'll get you started with a topic– did you watch the Golden Globes? I normally do a fashion report, but you can check out E! for the red carpet arrivals at The Golden Globes. I like Jessica Alba and Kate Beckinsale best, Amanda Peet and Busy Phillips worst, and then there's a whole lot of in between (like, Meryl Streep, what were you thinking?). Who is your best and worst dressed of the Golden Globes? And what do you think of our choice for Whiner of the Year 2011?
