Another classy Hoosier

Good Lord, is it possible? Anthony Weiner's sexting pal might be a Hoosier?

CNN) -- The woman at the center of the Anthony Weiner scandal is a 23-year-old Indiana native who is passionate about politics, and was a strong supporter of the New York politician even after he resigned from Congress amid similar circumstances two years ago, a friend said.

Sydney Elaine Leathers actively posts about politics and her Democratic views on Facebook. That's where she met Lou Colagiovanni, a political blogger and writer who moderates a political Facebook page where Leathers frequently posted messages.

"She absolutely idealized this man," Colagiovanni told CNN on Wednesday of the respect Leathers had for Weiner, now running for New York mayor.

Another account says she has political heroes besides Weiner:

It appears she is an admirer of Anthony Weiner, as he's listed third on a list of 'heroes' that she posted on her website, after President Obama in first place and Bill Maher in second.

Her other heroes include Bernie Sanders, Julian Assange, Keith Olbermann, Alan Grayson, Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart and Charlie Sheen. 

Wow, Olbermann, Maddow and Maher And she has tats, too. Heck, I wouldn't mind dating her myself. Oh, and she apparently has an agent and hopes to get at least $100,000 for her story.

Think I'll go home and close the blinds now.
