It’s time for Democratic leadership to explain why Congressman Weiner’s actions never aroused any suspicion

Uh, because no one knew about his idiotic little hobby?

As compared to the Republicans, including Boehner, who ignored/covered for Mark Foley, who was harassing Congressional pages who were under-age.

And gave Vitter a standing ovation.

The Weiner story will die by the end of the week. Whether or not he resigns, Pelosi will make sure it gets buried (ethics investigation, family matter, blah blah blah).

Meanwhile, those idiots keep lining up to endorse the Ryan kill-medicare plan. They think they’re going to run next year on that?! Yeah, this should go well…maybe for John McCain, that is.

Bringing A Penis To A Knife Fight

I’d have gone with a Bobbit visual but I understand this site has standards.

Also, Mr. Morality himself, Sen. Coburn, acting as go between for Ensign and his ex-lover.

In fairness to the Goopers, they do have the corporate media on their side in this. The media Heathers have all retired to their fainting couches over the Weiner incident (funny how Ensign, Vetter, and the rest of the Republican Lotharios never got this kind of attention), but continue to hail the Paul Ryan Soylent Green is Granny Plan as bold and serious.

“ and why they rushed to his defense while so many Americans were shocked and confused by his bizarre and disturbing behavior,” Paul Lindsay, communications director

I think he’s right. Besides the usuals nutters, how many more Americans could be shocked and confused? None. None more Americans.

And they were calling a pic in undies as lewd! Lewd, I tell you! In undies…

What would it take to make it lascivious? I could show them things that would make their pubes straighten out.

~ Harry R. Sohl

Shocked and confused? Oh, please. We live in a society where pron is free on the interwebs, teens/adults of a technological bent find sexting and hooking up to be a big whatev, and this crap was shocking? I’d say that the NRCC needs to get out more; what with the behavior of Vitter, Gov. Appalachian Trail, Ensign, etc, getting out more would only increase both the shenanigans and the hypocritical whining when they get caught. Can the national hearing resources handle such a sustained assault?

I’m praying for yet another Rethug sex scandal, just in time for the big dems are all perverts, vote for Soylent Green! rollout.

What ever happened to the good old days, when a sex scandal involved a politician meant hiring his mistress to his staff after divorcing his first wife to marry his secretary?

Guess that’s why Newt and Ensign both consider themselves “traditional family values” types. Practically old school, they are.

Democrats had better bring the knife soon! They’re flat BAD at politics!

“Good policy leads to good politics”. That sounds erudite Mr. President, but it is hopelessly naive. One, of course, does not exist without the other.

If Democrats do not get the politics right soon, they can kiss their policies good bye. Great Article here …

Considering the last few years, they’re also flat BAD at policy.

They’re just hoping that the voters choose them for being less bad than the other team.

Why is it that a clothed penis is even a “scandal” in the first place?

The man had his underwear on!

Why does Nancy Pelosi have to waste away our Tax Dollars on investigating this alleged “crime” when we are 14 Trillion Dollars in DEBT.? Could this Country get any stupider?

Meanwhile the mass violence and human carnage of War, Bombs, Torture, Jailings, and crimes of humanity goes on and on and on with no investigation and no end.

packin’ heat.
pack in heat.

Congress has degerated from show wrestling contests to pissing contests, though the current trend is wiener length. Let’s just get out the rulers and end it once and for all. Will we use metric or English units, 12 inch rules or 0-1 in micrometers? Anyone for changing from the Friedman Unit to the Wiener Unit?

Its different Gopers do it. They’re part of the aristocracy and we all know that means they get a pass. Just ask Clarence Thomas.

“Democrats” and Wiener, sure enough the Clintons and Schumer are not far away from the Wiener debacle. Stand by your man!!! So goes it with the Clintons and the Wieners.

I will never click on that site. Ever. You posted it at least three times yesterday in different threads.
Maybe the rules changed with the mods here at Firedoglake, but I’m guided my my intuition. Others have mentioned as much.
I’ll go get a life and not worry about how people use this site.
PS, No, I don’t read every thread here. If you click on the commenters name, you will see All Of Their Comments. It’s a tool to use, or not.

It isn’t.
The problem there are boner shots. breitbart has had at least one for a while. None of this would have exploded if there wasn’t a reservoir of idiotic, compromising behavior that could be documented. There was blood in the water with the ‘certitude’ statement.
It is a bit fishy for sean hannity to get a face to face in studio with one of the recipients of weiner’s idiocy.
Just because it may be a trap doesn’t mean weiner wasn’t an idiot.
Steve Kornacki from Salon has already lit the funeral pyre with the ‘background’ that weiner isn’t well liked, and a guy who takes credit for other people’s work, and a site specific opportunist.

From your name, you may have left DC, but DC has not left you, ’cause you’re still moved by It.

Let’s not fool ourselves. The Republicans will be all over the Democrats and the Dims will be tripping over their limp dicks. Of course there ineptitude is their answer to bipartisanship.

The Dims might think of changing their logo from that of an ass (appropriate) to that of a limp wienie. On second thought why not an ass with a limp wienie.

What am I supposed to do, focus on Trenton?

On second thought why not an ass with a limp wienie.

Anthony Weiner should be their logo?

Having been exposed (pun intended) to Congresscritter Weiner on a regular basis because I live in NYC (he’s all over the local news all the time), my impression of him was (and still is, only moreso) that he’s a condescending little twit who likes publicity.

Well, I guess this time he got a little bit more than he wanted expected.

You should really vote for Ralph Nader. That always turns out well….

At least he’s no John Edwards.

You can focus on your netherlands, for all I care. Just a comment, nothing more. There may be, in fact, issues in local government that you could help with. Just saying.
Many here at the Lake are seeing that local politics are becoming more important than some of the Federal ones, if I read the comments and focus of this site correctly.

Keep voting for the Dims. How’s that workin for ya?

Not as good as I’d like but not as bad as you want…

Actually, demi, when I heard on the thise morning’s nooze (NBC Today) that Bill Clinton had “officiated” at Weiner’s wedding it occurred to me that it should have been an omen apparent to all in attendance. And no, I wasn’t invited to the wedding either . . . (:>

Yes, Dems are going to hang Medicare around the GOP necks while the voters hang a very big anchor around Obama’s neck on the economy. Not good to bring a knife to a cement over shoes party.

Hey Pelosi, How about the scum at Goldman Sachs? DO America a favor and investigate the corporate scum on Wall Street, you loser????

been there, done that

um, you’ll have to ask boner to do that.
Nancy missed that opportunity when she was speaker.
Don’t hold your breath

During the George W Bush era…not so good. How was it for you?

Weiner’s done. Quit before the x rated photos get out there.

Little Tony is a pervert..
If the Dems choose to keep him in their camp, then so be it. But that choice is will prove to be unfortunate.
Consider what Aristotle observed about hypocrites and liars: “His state of character makes a person . . . a liar.”
Aristotle noted that “a lover of the truth who is truthful even when nothing is at stake will be still keener to tell the truth when something is at stake, since he will avoid falsehood as shameful when something is at stake, having already avoided it in itself when nothing was at stake. This sort of person is praiseworthy.”

“In all times there are people who cannot grow up, and there are times when whole societies begin to think and act like juveniles.” — Eric Hoffer

In other words, lying, like bravery, generosity, and prudence, is acquired by habit, which becomes part of our character, and character determines conduct.

Weiner’s weiner is such a convenient distraction, is it not?

Cue the Kabuki Show! This time replete with conservatives clutching their pearls whilst on the fainting couches.

Let’s not focus on anything REAL, fer gawd’s sake… look over there! Weiner’s weiner… why I NEVER! How AWFUL! Can you IMAGINE! Family values!!! etc ad nauseum….
teh stupit, it burnz…

Some people oppose cutting medicare? No shit. But what are you going to say to make people forget about 9% unemployment? Oh I know ” the patient is in rehab.” Nice;. That will make us all feel much,much better.

So what’s your “take” on some other “perverts”??? Here’s a list:

David Vitter
John Ensign
Newt Gingrich
Mark Foley
Larry Craig
Mark Sanford
Ted Haggard

That’s just for starters. I would really like to see your commentary about them, please.

Voters should hang an anchor around Obama’s neck for the economy. On that you and I agree.

Yet, what have Republican legislators actually done or proposed to fix the economy, other than to cut everything in sight, which is NOT working. Even the Wall St Journal says this is a counter-productive tactic.

This is just “See! They do it too! Only worse!”

And because it’s a picture of semi-firmness in a set of Jockeys, with promises of the actual unit in-the-flesh (triggering the imagination), the TeeVee people can run it 24/7. It’s got visuals! It’s not really lewd! It’s a Democrat!

For producers, this is a can’t-lose story.

That’s the sorry bit. Obama’s a disgrace on the economy. No guts to do the Right Things.

But the GOP is evil, and has the guts to run with it.

animated weiner,

TMZ is dropping a bombshell about Weiner and a porn star Ginger Lee and how he offered her a statement to give the press AND offered her a meeting with his PR people (not indicated if this is the government related one or not)…….

Agree. The whole thing is disgusting from Obama thru to the Plutocratic Uniparty, set to destroy the nation.

color me unsurprised that one of our resident sock puppets has no response to my query about how he would characterize “perverts” (his/her terminology for Weiner) in the GOP.

Per ususal, iOKIYAR.

Nice to know that something can be counted on in today’s world. Namely: conservative hypocritical double standards.

I hope you are correct – but the media is controlled by the GOP – and management will excuse their bias as “sex sells” despite the fact they did not do this with Vitter.

Weiner has destroyed the momentum of “vouchercare” – it will need to be rebuilt over the next year.

He should resign and run in a special election – although his district is likely to be gone after they redraw the districts.

It’s so funny to watch the Repubtards get all excited over Weiner’s problem. They have totally forgotten that it was only two weeks ago everybody and their grandma thought, “Is fucking dirtbag Paul Ryan out of his goddamn mind trying to sell this piece of shit?” Then the new Cuntz Luntz talking point “Obamacare ends Medicare” was released. The TeaScrote tards started jumping up and down like ADD kids without their meds. Eric Cantor feels a throbbing in his child size nutsack telling him to tell tornado victims to “Go fuck yerself”. And now this. Does a story like this cause mass amnesia?. Settle down shitheels this will be over and it’s back to “What was that you were saying PaulTard?”

Vitter..Didn’t lie, but should have resigned
Ensign..resigned
Newt Gengrich..at least marries his affairs..is not a pervert..but is an adulterer
Mark Foley..not a pervert, but a closet gay..should be embraced by all because he is suffering inside.. bless his heart
Larry Craig..see above
Mark Sanford..actually loves this woman..yes he lied and should have resigned..but is not a pervert
Ted Haggard..not a politician..irrelevant

you are sick

While Anthony may be a Wiener, all the Republicans are Dicks, especially the Koch brothers, Charles and David.

This post is awesome. I wish it was on the front page of every daily newspaper.
