Duh~!! We all knew he was a wiener on this topic. Trying to be cool at his age is just sad.... so sad for his family.... what a dufus~!

As for Weiner - I am beyond disappointed.

I'd still like to know why dudes think women are turned on by dick pics?

As much of an asset as he was for the Democratic party - he should resign immediately for the sake of NOT giving the right wing nitwits something to fixate on for days!

Meanwhile, I'll sit back and watch the family values freaks revel in their superficial 'victory'!

Say it with me Feisty old gal - Brietbart rocks! I know you loved the part where Anthony apologized directly to Brietbart. So very precious that.

But oh yes, deflect, spin and talk about something else.

Sorry my dear - it's going to be dick pics for days. You all really are not so gullible that you think he's telling the truth now? Just 6. all of age. Oh no. just wait for it.

This here is headed to the To Catch a Predator phase now.

And Tundie - all you can come up with is he's a "dufus?" He need to immediately resign, right?

I sure hope not, let's keep this dick around. Hard, strong and in your face.

Spanky, you are mistaking a political hack for being a journalist.

Breitbart remains a crook, that should be no where close to journalism - he and his ACORN pimp buddy.

As for Wiener, whatever he chooses to do, that's his decision... and his constituents would make that call at the end of the day. I personally don't like it and wont vote for him again if I could.... but that's just me... btw, did you call for Vitter to resign - what vitter did was actually more embarrassing... and broke the law; what Ensign did borders breaking the law and what Coburn did in covering it up is even more despicable (being a minister and all).... so if they broke the law.. they need to resign... if they are just being immoral dufus, why should I ask for a resignation? not worth my time.

Yeah, I hear you Tundie Brietbart and Pimp 1, Acorn 0;

Brietbart 1, Weiner's weiner 0.

But tell you what maybe you can contrast Big Government with say Huffington post, or Salon. Christ look at Nat. Enquirer. It just rocked Edwards' world. Journalists? HACKS? How ever can you tell them apart?

From what I have been reading today, Huffington post is in big trouble.

So, Spanky, you are OK with Breitbart commandeering a microphone and podium that are not his? All in the name of self-serving grandstanding? Talk about gotcha "journalism".

I think Weiner should resign. Sadly. But so should Breitbart. Of course, in the Republican world, bringing down anyone or anything, even the country, is OK as long as your opponent fails. Nice job. Not.

This will go down as the most stupid, dumb thing a politican has ever done, this is beyond clinton even edwards or larry craig. doesn't this goof realise this would get out. first he denies it, then he said a hacker did it, not he comes clean that he did do this, stupid just plain stupid.

i want this known that I'm a very loyal liberal, and having said that this goof must GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this will be a large distraction for the Democratic party he should resign.

Fielden:

A quick note - a CNN reporter provided quotes from the media at the hotel: "Breitbart stepped into the back of the room, and was recognized by the media. The started asking him questions. Finally, a couple of the press asked Brietbart to go to the microphone to answer questions for all in the room."

so i have a Question. Was it a Shirtless Weiner. Or a Pantless Weiner..............

fielden - Brietbart should step down from what? He is a privately employed person, not an elected official. You do get that distinction, yes?

He was there for and received an apology directly from the Weiner. That had to be very, very HARD for Anthony.

Best presser EVAH! Suck it Weiner.

I haven't been a fan of Rep. Weiner for a while. I was turned off by his tactics on the floor. There was a lot of grandstanding on his part that I didn't appreciate.

Having said that, I have to be honest - I thought Rep. Weiner was telling the truth.

It's unfortunate that our reps in government continue this sort of behavior. In both parties.

Rep. Weiner can survive this. Many others have done worse.

And people wonder why more don't vote in this country.

This was beyond stupid on his part.

Astonishing...

The Feisty Redhead and I are in rare agreement.

Anthony Weiner should resign immediately.

Done and done.

Now...

Which of the other regular ladies of First Read would accept Rep. Weiner's indiscretions if he were their own hubby?

Let's hear the case for Tony, ladies...

I expect sincere expressions of loyalty and devotion without regard to the transgressions.

I'm certain the new bride will agree with you.

So now we have HARD evidence of this RISING story. Will interest in this story be BRIEF, or will we POUNDED with this story's FIRM ENDURANCE until we GAG. Sorry, please feel free to collapse this comment, no HARD feelings.

You gotta have a sense of humor Swampfox. Afterall, If you can't laugh at a politician, who the hell can you laugh at.

Gotta hand it to Brietbart. How many Liberal notches in his gun belt now? Three, so far, by my count. First is Acorn, second was the Shirley Sherrod incident, and now Tony Weiner.

Go ahead and crow Repubs!! You earned a victory lap or three!!! What you failed to do at the ballot box you were able to accomplish with nothing more than a picture of a penis! Ha! How's that for economy of effort! Watch the Dems work like hell to get elected, and then you dash it all to pieces at their feet and stand there laughing while they bleed! Good for you.

Now I hope the Dems begin to understand what they're up against. Well Dems, what about it? Have you helped these people enough, or are you going to carelessly throw away whatever political viability you may have left?

All these Liberal lions, gone!! First Ted Kennedy due to natural causes. Then Robert Byrd. Now the very few Democrats with any stones are getting taken out, one by one: Tony Weiner, Russ Feingold, Alan Grayson and now it looks like we could lose Dennis Kucinich to redistricting!! The repubs aren't adept enough we gotta' destroy ourselves.

You must admit. Weiner did a good job at destroying himself, and he certainly lived up to his name. He deserves every bit of the suffering he is about to endure, but his family doesn't. Everywhere he goes now he and his kid are going to have Connies flashing penis pix at him like he was Brett Favre. Nice going Weiner! Thanks! As if these people didn't have enough ammunition you gave them a cornucopia of attention-diverting, comic, scandal fodder.

Advise to Dems: Keep it in your pants, check your shrubs before you go out, never use an open line, and for God's sake don't take a picture of your dick and send it to a group of cash-hungry females. If you still feel the suicidal urge, then swallow the end of a muzzle and squeeze one off into your melon and get it over with quick. Spare the rest of the people who believe in and work for the Progressive movement the pain.

How "Bush" league can you get?

BREAKING NEWS: As reporters await a statement from Weiner, Andrew Breitbart hijacks the press conference:

Breitbart: "I demand an apology for being called a hijacker of media information. And I have other photos I am holding as blackmail until Weiner apologizes for calling me a blackmailer."

In the meantime, though Weiner showed sincere remorse and repentance, the religious right-wing refuses to forgive him because he is a Democrat.

Hey Breitbart -- In the future Weiner will stop doing stupid things, but you'll still be an arsewipe. And if Anthony Weiner knows who Paul Revere is, I'll still vote for him.

Along with David Vitter and Gov. Sanford, really, John Ensign didn't resign either--he didn't resign until forced to. Schwarzenegger kept his indiscretions private until out of office, and so did Edwards. But too bad for you John Edwards, the pain and suffering of your family is not enough--we want blood!

Weiner is a disgrace along with a long list from both sides. For the sake of the party he should go.

Breitbart should get an apology from Weiner ,and there were a lot of First Readers who vilified him and couldn't believe Weiner would do such a thing.

Have fun Repubs but remember when it's your turn.

Breitbart didn't take the podium on his own yesterday, he was asked by the press at the conference to step up to the mike so that he could be heard answering questions. Weiner (or his staff) did owe Breitbard an apology for lying about how it was Breitbart that hacked his account.

For those of you that think Breitbart is such slime, what about all the liberal counterparts to him? There are plenty of leftist organizations out there doing exactly the same thing (funded by George Soros, MoveOn.Org comes to mind) to catch republicans in the exact same situation.

If these politicians (both parties) are so upset that there are organizations out there purposely trying to catch them is these type situations, then they shouldn't put themselves in these type situations.

Loving the apologists on MSNBC saying he did a "Great" job in how he
handled the Press Conference

CNN did the same. CNN at the scene reporter Mary Snow was so impressed that Rep. Weiner "stood there for 30 minutes taking questions". Wow. What a guy.

Noticed one item during the press conference where Rep.Weiner said about the young women he communicated with, he "took the women's word" that they were of legal age. Apparently Rep Weiner didn't much care if they were or not, I guess he believed them, like him, were of high moral character, and wouldn't lie about such things.

So what committees is Rep. Weiner on in Congress? What information does he know that others would like to know, and might use any methods necessary to get that information?

Loving the apologists on MSNBC saying he did a "Great" job in how he

who's age he wasn't even sure of. Chris Mathews: "Amazing Confession"

Let's toss you out there under the same circumstances and see how you do...just sayin'.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I said on the last thread that I would apologize to Breitbart and that Weiner should resign. Nice try. Wrong gal.

I'm not worried so much about the age thing as the possibility he left open that he could be set up, either for blackmail or possibly worse, as JoAnna also suggests. He met these women because he was a Congressman, making it a public matter, and he needed to show better judgment. Period.

I guess that the same thing could be said about Bill Clinton. He chose to stay and face the consequences, too, and although I think it was not grounds for impeachment, in some senses it did affect the rest of his presidency. I wouldn't say that he should have resigned, but it did do him damage, and it took a long time to repair that. In my mind, and in the minds of a lot of people, we never saw him quite the same way again. It diminished him.

That being said, Weiner has done the damage to himself, and the damage may end up being fatal as it relates to his career. All that's left now is for the vultures to pick him over. I have compassion for that. If he continues this course he's on much longer, though, I'll be very disappointed.

I don't know Noid I'm thinking you or me wouldn't have spent all of last week lying our asses off.

How about it Noid - should he man up and resign, or you thinking his district is loving having an admitted liar as it's rep?

Oh, and how about Brietbart? Kicking ass.

Let's toss you out there under the same circumstances and see how you do...just sayin'

Come on noid - it's not like the family values freaks are EVER caught with their pants down!

At least Weiner was sexting with women, something that is a foreign concept with the plastic jesus crowd! ;o)

Da Noid, why in the world would you think I would ever put myself in those "circumstances"?

Anna Molly:

I can't believe that Weiner, who was apparently savvy enough to use a private e-mail account to exchange the photos with the second woman, would do something so stupid in the open on Twitter. That says "hack" to me in big red letters. I also think the coincidence suggests that whoever hacked him (I'll go with Dan Wolfe, the guy who claims he originally captured the Twitter pic) knew there were other pictures, too.

And Weiner, of course, has known this right from the start. That's why he couldn't answer the famous question, and why he has seemed to be holding his breath. Even if he was hacked, he knew someone had the original of that photo and suspected there would be worse to come.

Sorry AM, That sounded like a pretty intricate conspiracy theory to me. I guess I was wrong.

You say "women" so I assume you know all their identifies and ages Fiesty?

Of course you don't.

Sorry AM, That sounded like a pretty intricate conspiracy theory to me. I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I know, and I was the one who was wrong. What more do you want?

By the way, that isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of Andrew Breitbart's character. Who knows whether he would be capable of setting up what I thought of, but surely you'd agree he's at least as smart as I am.

And heaven only knows Karl Rove could have thought of it. And we already know it wouldn't have been beneath him.

Which is why Weiner needs to resign. That and the fact that he admitted to lying to his colleagues, the press, and the public. I didn't think he was quite that stupid, so that's why I thought the hack was more probable.

After John Edwards, I should have known that there really is no limit on self-destructive behavior by politicians who become impressed by their own self-importance.

Mr. "Full Disclosure" also avoided the "Did you have phone sex with these women?" question. We've seen the pictures, now it's time to hear the audio, and have another press conference.

Tony Weiner - "I'm sorry. So sorry. That I got caught."

His wife Huma has probably already talked to Maria Shriver, getting the name of that lawyer firm she's using.

But Tony, please stay a bit. Congress needs (another) clown.

I'll agree with that Anna, we should all be worried that powerful people put themselves in a position that could be used against them and the country. Someday, the results could be devestating.

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

Let's toss you out there under the same circumstances and see how you do...just sayin'

Come on noid - it's not like the family values freaks are EVER caught with their pants down!

At least Weiner was sexting with women, something that is a foreign concept with the plastic jesus crowd! ;o)

But look at this way Feisty you can still call John Edwards and Barney Frank as your personal "family values" guys

You know what really bugs me is how Anthony Weiner always bragged about being a "family values" leader, and how he pointed a judgemental finger at other politicians when they got caught with their pants down, and how he should just resign instead of dragging this out, and how this is just another scandal in the long list of Republican scandals. Ooops, I was thinking of David Vitter.

I don't know. He should resign.

Just pull out the Hello Kitty pic. Should shut him right up.

Comedy gold.

LoL But if Dick Morris survived toe sucking, Weiner can survive that picture.

Unfortunately you are right Anna. I think the major difference between Clinton and Weiner is that people liked Clinton. Weiner is not likable and is going to pay, I hope, the ultimate political price.

Then he can be a paid analyst on CNN or MSNBC like Morris for Fox.

The press really missed a huge opportunity, they could have asked Rep. Weiner his position on the Debt Ceiling, the FY2012 budget, and Medicare reform. What a chance to get a high ranking Democrat on the record for what should be done on those issues.

Opportunity lost.

And the former Representative of NY-9 before Weiner took over? Charlie Schumer. People of NY-9, you sure know how to pick'em.

Anna Molly,

Dick Morris, toe sucking? Is that the same Dick Morris that goes on Fox News? He is creepy, like a little pervert.

Yes. You didn't know? Prostitutes, I believe it was. LoL

Have you seen Rachel Maddow's "Political Sex-Scandal Consequence-O-Meter"? It is an axis of less creepy to more creepy, and less prosecutable to more prosecutable. Republicans aren't doing well -- LMAO (because there is nothing funnier than the truth).

Da Noid, I don't expect he will resign quietly either. But I would expect his constituents to put enough pressure on him to resign. Really, what can he get done now? Actions have consequences and if this had been my Republican Congressman, I would be calling for him to step down. If a Democrat was the beneficiary of that, so be it.

Actions have consequences.

Da Noid, how do you know that he got this one right? the photo sent to the 21yr old could have been through an hacker and judging by Andrew B's past... I would be stunned if that's not the case. I've admitted from day 1 that there was more to the story and it had just got to be Weiner's wiener in that pic... but what I contend is that the pictures were sent to the 21yr old maliciously.

Weiner needs to bury his head in the sand for a lil while... after all those press conference, he's got to be ashamed of himself... and Breitbart should be proud... he salivates at stuff like this...

Weiner can stay in Congress, and every time he takes the floor, or gets in front of the cameras and mics, or writes an op-ed piece for the New York Times, this sanctimonious Leftwing Liberal Darling can get the scrutiny of the people and the media who will be asking themselves, "Is this the best we can do for people that represent us in Congress? Is this what represents the Democratic party?"

Do stay Tony. We need you.

You're thinking the same thing I am...just because he now admits he sent the picture does not preclude the possibility that his Twitter account was hacked.

and Breitbart should be proud... he salivates at stuff like this...

On a different thread someone demanding I apologize to Breitbart - LMAO - here was ny response:

APOLOGIZE to that douche bag?

I wouldn't spit on him if I saw him running down the street on fire!

This POS get's OFF on RUINING peoples lives...

Hacked or not, he sent the pix then lied about it. You can be apologists for him all you want, but he still did it and he still should resign.

If anyone broke the law in putting it all out there they should be prosecuted, but he still did it, didn't he?

Kirby, who's apologetic for Wiener? You? Nobody here is saying what he did was right?

I still will not believe anything that comes out of Breitbart's corner, until I have other sources, the dude just started soo wrong.... same as the other pimps dufus (what's his name) from ACORN story.

Wow Noid and Tundie - why waste your time spinning for a self admitted douche-bag? He confessed. He is guilty. No hacking, no photo shop.

I know it's hard for you, and I know you hate Brietbart, but come on now. Game, set match.

Why is it do you suppose he even apologized directly to Brietbart? Come on now, be rational.

Spanky, these guys don't get it. Sure, they all say it was bad, BUT, blah, blah, blah.

Spin and deflect, I mean geeez, as you said, Weiner apologized to Breitbart for Gods sakes and they still think he was hacked into!

Spin and deflect, I mean geeez, as you said, Weiner apologized to Breitbart for Gods sakes and they still think he was hacked into!

What we know at this point is that it wasn't a hacker who sent the photo. Explain to me this...someone had a reason to expect that this scandal was going to break. How did they know?

Da Noid.

The Lamestream Media left things "hanging" So to speak there was a time when NBC ABC and CBS would have been the ones to break the Story of a Lying Congressmen. but those days are over. they hopped on the WEINER wagon and were enjoying the silent ride.

Steve,

There was also a time where "news organizations" simply reported the news and didn't make the news...given Mr. Breitbart's history with ACORN and Shirley Sherrod (READ: "Pay no attention to what's on the cutting room floor!") you can see why there was skepticism surrounding this story.

Ok, ok Noid I got it - big old conspiracy to get Anthony.

But dude confessed. To it all [or at least to the stuff we know about so far - cause there will be more, there always is.]

So where will you and Oliver Stone be dining this evening?

Spanky,

I'm merely asking a question...is it not possible that his Twitter account was hacked?

We know that Breitbart isn't responsible for the photo. However, how did he get the photo?

...and, no, even if it's proven that he was hacked it does not exonerate him.

Let's take it real slow Noid - no hacking, just a lot of Weiner.

All Weiner, all the time. He did it all by his very little self.

There are a bunch of chicks flooding Breitbart with photos, texts and e mails. I'll say one thing for Weiner, he was a very prolific little pecker.

There are a bunch of chicks flooding Breitbart with photos, texts and e mails.

...and no doubt getting a nice little check as a reward.

Can we believe what Weiner says, can we trust his judgement, can we trust he won't drive while sexting? David Vitter was back in the public forum very quickly, as if nothing happened, and went on to be reelected. Teddy Kennedy went on to do great work, and so has Bill Clinton--not only in his second term but also with his Global Initiative.

And just think, in the meantime we can all have fun with Weiner jokes. Santorum is very grateful because his name isn't being Googled as much right now. So is Gingrich in regard to his Tiffany account. And what's that I heard about Palin planning to run with Joe the Unlicensed Plumber?

Correction -- Gringrich is on a luxury cruise, not buying more bling.

DaNoid for some reason you can't grasp this;Weiner admitted it HE DID IT. You knew from the get go it wasn't hacked if a Federal Employee's twitter account is hacked he would go to FBI immediately. He didn't. He didn't even go to D.C. or White House police.

HE was guilty and lied to try and cover it up. Good luck to him and his marriage.

Feisty,

Breitbart didn't ruin Weiner's life, Weiner ruined his own life.

Mr. Weiner, you may not believe you need to resign, but I would bet the majority of Americans, including the constituents in your district, believe you should.

It's interesting you should state that...I read the following on Friday...it's probably closer to the truth on how we as a society feel about sex scandals than we'd care to admit:

blogs.forbes.com/susannahbreslin/2011/06/03/weinergate-offers-a-window-into-americas-faux-prudery/

"Americans are fascinated by political sex scandals because the politician is doing what Americans are doing but won’t admit, or what they wish they were doing but won’t say."

So that must make it perfectly acceptable, eh Noid?

Spin, spinning away. Just don't hurt yourself - Anthony gave up that kitty.

So that must make it perfectly acceptable, eh Noid?

No...just trying to keep the outrage in perspective.

You can hold back the tides, or the Weiner rage.

Dude came out and made such a show last week, smug little Weiner that he is.

I think it's less outrage, more pure spectacle. Weiner for all!

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was apparently "very angry" with Tony.

Tony Weiner - Part of the Swamp.

Hang in there Tony, we (The Right) still love you. We have big plans for you too!

Really?! Do tell. ;-)

JoAnna, you're drooling. Please get a tissue.

Well come on AM, Anthony is forever more the "big" man on the hill.

Those damn Clintons - always involved, always around. I loved the kitty pic - you can see a picture of Ms. dick pic with Hillary in the background.

Priceless.

Rule number one of dick pics - you gots to know your surroundings. Actually that's number 2. Number 1 : you got to know your limitations. Thank goodness for zoom. :)

Spoken like a man of experience. Do tell. ;-)

Pictures at 11.

I have taken many. Fact I love messing with Ms. Spanky's phone. When I call her my picture comes up. So naturally I make sure it is a lovely, happy fun picture. Let's just say I think Anthony would approve.

But it's HARD to get a good dick pic.

Well of course Pelosi is unhappy with Tony, and of course they are starting an ethics investigation, because Dems actually enforce rules rather than negotiate hush money like Coburn and "The Family" on C Street.

Well hey now - maybe Nancy can resume her swamp clearing?

So speaking of congress women, where is the dem spokes hole DWS? Surely she will have to chime in. I sure hope so, but imaging they are in some super secret spin meeting right now.

Spanky: but imaging they are in some super secret spin meeting right now.

It's not secret, it's probably on MSNBC. Oh, wait . . . . . .

So speaking of congress women, where is the dem spokes hole DWS? Surely she will have to chime in. I sure hope so, but imaging they are in some super secret spin meeting right now.

Gee, you don't think she'd want to meet with the Congressman personally before making any public statements, do you?

Pssst Noid. Do you suppose they met before DWS made all her comments last week? Apparently you do. Huh, how, interesting. And how utterly unfortunate for Debbie. Seems Debbie's got a lot of 'splaining to do, right Noid?

Now there's a conspiracy I can get into. Nice call!

Right, we need a fascist Gestapo to keep everyone in line! We'll start with government officials, then move into private industry, then into American homes -- oh wait that's the Republican platform.

I admire you(r) passion

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

um...really? It would seem as though his "passion" has been his undoing....

Gosh and here I was thinking it was his, um, passion that got him into this LITTLE predicament.

You say passion, I say Weiner. Weiner. Passion. Weiner, passion. Dickhead, monkey.

I suppose I set myself up for the passion comments! I meant POLITICAL passion, not that it matters! :o)

P.S. I have actually been entertaining myself by trying to figure out which one of the media analysts covering this story are actually engaged in the very same behavior . . . seems like a lot of adults need some social media training ASAP . . . maybe our kids can teach us . . . sad but true.

As it should be up to them. When it comes to cyber-sex we are all too stupid for words, men and women alike.

6-RESIGNATION

The only possible upside of this matter.

I'll wait to hear what Jon Stewart suggests.

Enlighten us...what type of investigation was supposed to occur?

I mean, what was the media supposed to go to Congressman Weiner's office, knock on the door and demand that he "drop trou" so they could confirm if the photo really was him?

Were they supposed to try and interview the intended recipient of the photo? (Do the words "No Comment" mean anything to you?)

Were they supposed to try and ask for access to the Congressman's computer? (...and do you really think they'd get access?)

Yep, Noid - all those things. But fear not, I hear Brietbart and others are on the case. Like mustard on a nice Weiner.

Oh, and so is the Pelosi-nator. Draining the swamp and all. And also probably Ms. wEINER'S DIVORCE ATTORNEY.

A young girl is eleven. A girl is 13. a young woman is 18. A woman is 21 or older.

Hey Paul I am 60... 50 is a young girl!

If you are past experiencing menopause, young has left the building.

SUZEN They did ask Rangle to resign he just didn't do it. Then he got re-elected so Weiner probably will wait it out too.

Idiots on your side of the "aisle" especially. Don't tell me it's a typo or a misspelling, you actually thought the political divide referred to an island. Why do you all try to imagine how you think someone else will feel about the ethical and moral lapses of their spouse? Are you all so easily shamed by things which you haven't done and can't hope to control? Group-think much? Sheeple, like you, amuse me up to a point.

Thanks for the correction, and no it wasn't a typo.

I don't know what you are considering group think (who comes up with stupid phrases like that?). Just what I would think if my wife had to tell me the same thing.

You are way too angry. Go back to screaming at the wind.

Another "sheeple-tastic" response. Focus on the emotions which you perceive, and they are only perceptions, or in your case misperceptions, to be involved rather than the substance of the debate. They have programmed you well, deeply into the shallowness of group-think.

Well at least you are consistent. Keep screaming. It clearly makes you feel better.

"group think"... what a joke

That's exactly what they have trained you to "think". It is much more of a conditioned response, actually. They are trying it now with the "OCCAM's" Razor trifle. Sheeple along now, the flock is calling you.

and yet you scream for no good reason.

Perhaps they've trained you to hear screaming when none exists, but your misperceptions are being challenged.

or more than likely you are just screaming

You're really kind of sad. Do you also hear voices in your head which are not there, much like my alleged "screaming"? Pathetic sheeple, like you, are worrisome. You are conditioned to be easily "stampeded" into voting against your own interests.

Paul, I don't know if spdockery hears voices, but I do know s/he keeps voting for her/himself because s/he's the only one.

Come Paul, no Group think bs this time? You are not staying on message.

A scumbag that go a big old apology from Anthony today.

Say where is that lawsuit Sherrod was going to be filing?

Oh and Pat, how is Acorn doing these days? I recall the former HEAD [Weiner reference intended] was going to file suit against Brietbart and the pimp. How's that going? Winning?

It sure seems someone is and it ain't Mr. shiny dick.

Quick with there Forrest!! You gotta be able to laugh at these things,....especially when the alternative is electing Republicans.

BWAHAHAHA

Yeah Greg I use a little dark humor from time to time as a kind of coping mechanism, for years I helped people deal with everything from petty to horribly tragic in my career. Truthfully I am very disappointed, I thought this kid was on the ball, he seemed to speak up and stand his ground. Then he pulls these punk stunts, like I have said before when a man does something like this it becomes the one thing his opponents remember, and the the one thing his supporters can't forget. Sad thing when a man plays fast and loose with his family's good name. By the way I'm human, and have my faults, I have been called a sawed off little prick, but I have never sent anybody a picture of my sawed off little prick. Why do they even call it facebook?

You better hope he doesn't take a liking to your mom, wife, or daughter; who knows what the little weasel wil send next.

They've all seen much worse than Weiner's weiner. Try not being so Patronizingly patriarchal.

vwterry:

Commercial venture --> photos in Cosmo = above board and honest

A private mistake --> lewd twitters = sneaky and sleazy

Candice,

Line--> very fine

Why are nude photos above board and honest just because he was paid for them? Would the same standard hold for a woman? Regardless that woman's party?

vwterry,

There's a little tidbit I learned in business that applies to personal life. "Don't ever do anything or say anything you wouldn't want to see on the front page of a newspaper, or have to explain to your mom."

It has nothing to do with being paid. Scott Brown made the conscious decision to pose tastefully for a magazine. He knew the photos would be published. He probably did not know, personally, the majority of people who would see the photos (subscribers or purchasers).

Congressman Weiner, is obviously embarrassed by his behavior, so he even thinks he was being inappropriate. He was secretly flirting and being suggestive to women he met on the internet. If he didn't want the photos public, he shouldn't have taken them.

The photos and behavior really aren't the issues. It's the lying about them. And the intent.

A different standard seems to apply to women. Look at the number of women who'd simply posed nude in the past and lost their jobs because of it. Many of those photos were neither suggestive or lewd.

I can't believe I'm explaining this to you. It seems so obvious.

The photos were just an indicator that Wiener is a blossoming sexual predator, the red warning flag is the fact that he lied. Does his actions demonstrate the character of person you want to represent you? Not me regardless of party. The only thing he is truly sorry about is that he got caught.

VW you are really stretching it comparing Scott Brown to Weiner. Brown was 22 years old and not in politics. Weiner was 47 years old, married and behaving like a 13 year old boy. He had no idea the age of the girls he was texting and lied about the whole situation.
