Congressman Weiner's inappropriate tweet

The tweet was deleted before the person it was addressed to even saw it.
Here's a question, why is there a big deal about this then?!

I wonder as well. Gee, a politician lusts in his heart over women ... hey, is this the Jimmy Carter story done thirty years too late? :eek:

Three hundred eighty-five posts later and I'm still snickering that his name is Weiner. Are we sure this is real and not some massive trolling attempt?

Perhaps, but the question is, who is trolling whom? :cool:

I'm not sure if this has been posted in this thread yet, but Joseph Cannon has publicly accused Dan Wolfe of posting the offending picture and framing Anthony Weiner for doing so.

I read some of the stuff on the linked page by Cannon.

Cannon also claimed that the depicted penis under the underwear could not be erect. :confused: Huh?

Cannon enjoys his rants, but I'd be careful of using him as a source.

(Of course, being that the tubular shaped bulge under the cloth could have been a kilbasa from the local grocery, perhaps, Kilbasa not shifting from flacid to erect depending upon lust level, Cannon is on to something.)

I'm still crushed from when my dad, who worked with internet security shortly before he retired, told me that corporate computer professionals didn't actually work from darkened offices with wall-sized monitors and giant lighted lucite keyboards like in the movie Hackers.

I'm quite perplexed by how many people on TV work in dark offices. In all my experience, the usual preferred ambiance is well-lit.

For those trying to avoid confronting the sliminess of this Weiner jerk's ways by saying, "oh, he's liberal and accepting and therefore not a hypocrite"...

Give it up. Even HE admits he's scum and ashamed of himself....

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/06/weiner_i_lied_because_i_was_ashamed.html

And he had good reason to be ashamed. He knows he has been acting like the gutter trash he really is. Just like he's been doing with all his diatribes against Republicans who are telling the truth about the perilous state of the nations debt and finances.

That's a might fine straw man you're gleefully attacking. The argument isn't that he shouldn't be ashamed.* The argument is that it's his personal life mostly unrelated to his governmental work. I know my job doesn't ask if I'm flirting with other women behind my (fictional) wife's back.

If he legitimized his mandate to work in government because of his strong moral family values, then it would be an issue. Did he?

He lied to reporters about his personal life. That was wrong. If he lied about governmental or other related things, that would be wrong, and a problem for the public. I'm sure you think he did, but please try to remember the subject of this thread and if you really, really, really want to talk about the other stuff, open a new thread.

EDIT: * I bet someone does make the argument that he shouldn't be ashamed based off of their own view of relationships and sexuality, but that is their value system and obviously not the argument you were trying to address in your post.

So Pelosi Calls for Weiner Ethics Probe. Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House according to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Steve Israel.

Heh, Pelosi wants a weiner probe. There's a joke in there somewhere, linked to the petroleum industry ...
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) patronized prostitutes and likes to wear diapers, and he just got reelected last year. I don't see why Wiener will have to resign.

Agreed, but it might be nice for the voting public if the sessions of Congressperson Weiner's wife spanking him for being such a naughty boy were posted via his twitter account ... :eek: or on Youtube, or shown by Rachel Maddow as a lead in to her next show.

Now that I think of it, did all of this raise or lower kilbasa sales?

At first I was thinking that she wouldn't get as much text action any more, but thinking about it some more, guys will probably still line up.

Well I know someone who won't be getting a picture of my penis for Christmas this year. :D
 
Unfortunately, or fortunately, Weiner is a Democrat. This means he'll be under investigation for this by the ethics committee.

If he was a Republican, he'd have to break some laws before undergoing an investigation.
 
the economy has serious issues and this thing comes out,
if i had to troll it as a conspiracy.. maybe the Obama administration .. used it as comic relief?

markets down 5% from highs, can business writers blame stocks on this?
 
1. Reporter: We have heard rumors that you have been unfaithful.
2. Gary Hart: Me nooo..Follow me around. I dare you.
3. ???
4. Profit?

Its kinda sad that i'm not even shocked anymore.

Now this I doubt will really turn out to be a big story:



On the other hand, if you look at the messages, it sure seems like the woman thought they were going to do more than "sext" whenever Weiner made it out to Las Vegas.

An odd angle to focus on. Kind of like pointing out that a bank robber had poor fashion sense. It's more of a one-Jew-to-another inside joke.

Sort of a "Wag the Weiner" theory? ;)

Please do so judge! I'd much rather be associated with Sarah Palin's pronouncements than Weiners, Pelosi's, Reid's, Obama's, Clinton's, Frank's, etc. ad nauseum.

The latest one in which she's incontrovertibly correct, is stating that Paul Revere warned the British. 100% correct.
Did Paul Revere Warn The British?





Sarah Palin said he did. So does the Los-Angelas Times.


Their headline:

You know how Sarah Palin said Paul Revere warned the British? Well, he did. Now, who looks stupid?
And an excerpt:

"That the Republican non-candidate, in fact, knew more about the actual facts of Revere's midnight ride than all those idiots unknowingly revealing their own ignorance by laughing at her faux faux pas? How secretly embarrassing this must be, to be forced to face that you're dumber than the reputed dummy."



Complete story here.And this:

"Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, 'Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate." ~ From the Boston Herald

And Cornell law professor William Jacobson writes:

". . . Revere did in fact tell the British that the colonial militias, who had been alerted, were waiting for them . . . Palin's short statement on the video was less than clear; that sometimes happens but the part of the statement which has people screaming -- that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting -- appears to be true."

So basically you're saying that Sarah Palin is like 100 monkeys typing for a thousand years, and finally getting something right.

What a brilliant piece of satire. I commend you. :)

Perhaps a little blast from the past is appropriate now, lest we forget the roots of this ...

June 01, 2011

Last week, the angriest and biggest Democrat mouth on television next to Swishy, sent an obscene picture of himself, via Twitter, to a 21-year-old college girl in Seattle he has been corresponding with.

... snip ...

No, you have not read about it in the Los Angeles Titanic, which adheres to a strict policy of printing only good news — when Republicans do wrong, when Republicans think about doing wrong or when Republicans are wrongly accused of thinking about doing wrong.

... snip ...

The august father of us all, The New York Times, unable to avoid the story told a dishonest version in Monday’s edition, publishing a one-column, 10-paragraph story at the bottom of page A-16. Yesterday they published 18 paragraphs across the top of A-18.

In those 28 paragraphs, two girl reporters never found it in their bountiful hearts to reveal that the scoundrel Weiner is a Democrat.

The truth is this is as much a story about the mainstream media as anything else.

This got buried a few pages back, but I think it's worth looking into, so I dug up the thread.

Lo and behold:






















So, a couple people thought he should resign, but most self-identified liberals were actually pretty forgiving.

Yes! Because most Liberals and Leftists are not Socially Conservative Culture Warriors.

It's far more fun when a Republican politician gets caught with their pants down (pun intended) because it proves that they are big fat hypocrites (Schwarzenegger excluded; he never pretended to be a Cultural Conservative).

Nice snip job! You should apply for a job slicing and dicing video for Breitbart. I think I just got Breitbarted by you.

Here's how an honest snipper re-edits a post:

However, now that Weiner has confessed, his confession appears to be the most damning (and politically damaging) piece of evidence to date.

I'm not certain that his "confession" was truthful; and was perhaps coerced into "confessing" by Democratic Party leaders anxious to move on. But that is speculation on my part until determined otherwise.
<snip>


But Weiner's confession, real or not, trumps all. Therefore, as promised, I admit I was wrong.

I guess because Conservatives never admit they are wrong, they get confused when someone actually does.
