Anthony Weiner's wiener

[werepossum]

Hah! He apologized to Breitbart! Never thought that would happen. He is also refusing to admit to phone sex, but says he won't refute anything the women come forward to allege and that he didn't meet any of the women. Dude's taking his lumps, gotta give him credit for that anyway.

Kudos to Wienerwife for not coming to stand beside him during is "I have sinned" press conference. Dude screws her over, dude deserves to take the heat alone. Hopefully they can work this out if there is no actual physical adultery.

 

[dali71]

None of that proves jack shit if his account was hacked or otherwise spoofed.

 

[sandorski]

Andrew Brietbart deserves one hell of a big apology....

Not really. He's an untrustworthy weasel either way.

 

[sandorski]

Congressman Weiner is on the air now, tearfully confessing his lies and inappropriate conduct.

Oops, what an idiot. Makes you wonder why Politicians always get caught up in these situations?

 

[RedChief]

Not really. He's an untrustworthy weasel either way.

Should Weiner have resigned?

 

[PottedMeat]

haha lulz were had by all and nothing of consequence actually happened


tonight's daily show will consist of jon stewart complementing weiners weiner

 

[brencat]

The entire floor is watching CNBC and laughing our a$$es off right now.

You can't make this stuff up. And it finally happened to a DEMOCRAT!!!!

This is what we are paying our representatives to do...text and tweet young girls when they should be solving the state's/country's financial problems. Pathetic. I hate them all.

 

[Doppel]

Should Weiner have resigned?

If the stupid fvck public wants to vote him back in absolutely not, they deserve it.

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be anymore of a partisan hack, you do. If this was happening to a Republican you would be outraged beyond belief.

The heights of partisan douchebaggery to which you subscribe are tearing this country apart and turning the political scene into team sport. You display zero interest in what is best for the country, rather only that which fits your preconceived notions.

Congratulations on being part of the problem with today's politics!

Lame attempt at duhversion

Your Republican heroes that proclaim against Gays are always caught being gay themselves.

This Democrat wiener was at least proclaiming his wiener where he was proclaiming it.

Hell no, he's a democrat.

if he didn't break the law and didn't sexually harass any women, I'd say it's a private matter between him, his wife, and his mistress(es).

if anyone is dumb enough to look to a politician as a moral guide point, they deserve what they get.

He wasn't caught in a stall doing gay acts when he proclaims against gays.

Now he can bang both girls

It's not as interesting when it happens to a Democrat because Democrats don't parade around as the holier than thou family values party. And who said we are paying him to do this? Does your work pay you to do things you do in your personal life?

My Republican heroes? Impossible, as I am not a Republican numb nuts. And you accuse me of diversion? Then you try to twist this in the positive because it was a hetero act? lol!

At least you did not try to deny that you would be outraged beyond belief if Weiner happened to have an (R) appended to his name rather than a (D).

Riiight. The guy who was completely honest is "an untrustworthy weasel", but Wiener just used poor judgment, right? Outside of vows taken before G-d and man, he's still trustworthy.

 

[thraashman]

I'm just annoyed that thanks to this Andrew Breitbart can be counted as having been correct and truthful. I'm pretty sure this is the very first time that's ever happened. He's usually so completely dishonest and full of shit ... but this time he's right! Argh!

Not that I really give a damn about Weiner's personal life or his junk. But I at least found him entertaining in interviews. Guess it's up to him whether to resign. By insisting to keep this matter personal, at least he didn't file a false report and break the law. But damn was this a stupid thing to do.

"Completely honest"? This time, sure, but still a weasel.

What a complete load of bullshit. Democrats acting like douchebag dirtbags should be held to the same standard. All you need for proof of your BS is look at when a Democrat is a racist, they are never held accountable for that either. Democrats simply don't care that their politicians are dirtbags, liars, and criminals.. as long as you get your handouts you are happy.

Right... that's the problem with all you moral relativists. You focus on making the hypocrisy worse than the crime. For me, the action is bad. Talk is cheap.

And to your second point... yes it may have been on his personal time but he is a high profile politician (as nearly all of them are). If you were a high profile individual at your private (or public) company, do you think your actions would tolerated?? Hell no...you'd be sent packing immediately, mostly because of the bad press. It should be no different for politicians. He disgraced himself and the office by lying, and there should be a certain minimum moral standard we demand of people who represent us. Just because he wasn't a 'holier than thou family values type' is no excuse for his pitiful existence as a human being.

Wonder if one of the girls was underage? Can we nail him on that? How about a congressional investigation?

 

[nageov3t]

I haven't seen any indication of that.

why go through contortions? he'll resign or he won't, it's not as if NYC is going to elect someone fundamentally different from him.

I would think with you would be against the government spending "We the People"s money to do an investigation when there's no indication he did anything illegal.

Spidey can justify any action that opposes "Liberals", and all the voices in his head agree.

What's the Crime? Hypocrisy is a much worse fault than you think.

That's pretty much how I see it, but Democrats have an easier time. They don't have to be good people, they just have to promise to take stuff from other people and give it to their voters.

By Congressional scandal standards though, this one is pretty minor, at least as it currently stands. So coupled with his being a Dem I'm not surprised that he's not resigning. Personally I couldn't stand the guy before, so this hasn't made my opinion of him drop.

You are right, we Democrats honestly don't care if our politicians do stupid stuff in their personal life, as long as they don't tell us how to live ours. That's not what we elect them for. You Republicans elect politicians to preach and moralize from their office, we don't. There is nothing inconsistent to us with someone being a good politician and a bad family guy, because we can differentiate between work and personal life. You can't.

 

[theeedude]

There is no crime here. And there is no hypocrisy. There is nothing. With Republicans, even if there is no crime, there is usually hypocrisy.

Maybe. It's up to the shareholders, just like it's up to Weiner's voters. They can send him packing next November. I am guessing they won't.

It should be no different for politicians. He disgraced himself and the office by lying, and there should be a certain minimum moral standard we demand of people who represent us. Just because he wasn't a 'holier than thou family values type' is no excuse for his pitiful existence as a human being.

You can demand a moral standard from YOUR representatives when you want. His voters don't demand one, they just expect their representative to represent their political views, not push their moral values from his office, so it's not an issue for him.
