Maybe Weiner should resign? Actually I believe it should be up to his constituents,... the sad thing is Weaner was a good supporter of liberal ideals and his constituents, in fact he was stellar in his standing up against the Republicans, he was like the guy who said what everyone else wanted to say but refrained to be saying because they lacked the backbone or ideals.  Sadly he is also now a disappointment weaner and all!

Funny, no posts to this thread since Weiner came clean.  The truth truth has a way of shutting up a lot of people. 

Weiner is a clown, too lacking in character to resign immediately as did Chris Lee, who resigned within hours. 

Can a man who lies for a week about such an outrageous lack of judgement still have a career in congress?  Absolutely.  Lying is not considered a character flaw anymore, especially in politics. 

Hard to understand the previous poster who stated, “Republicans are known to be quite prolific at telling untruths”.  As though what?  Democrats are not known to be equally as prolific?  Blind partisanship is a type of delusion akin to blind religion, though it worships ideologies instead of gods. 

But ignorance is ignorance, and only honor, truth and good character are worth defending.  Someone posted that Weiner was a very smart man, but smart is over rated, I think.  Weiner lacks good character and good judgement, and is not fit for government service in my opinion.

It is rumored that Weiner is in negotiation with Oscar Myer for leasing the Werner mobile during the next campaign.

Of course Mannie it is all BS, either way a more than odd publicity stunt by Mr. Weiner himself or as you state a college prank finally catching up with him or a political smear job of little worth.

Recently Republicans getting caught in similar situations questioning some levels of morality,  and other numskulls sending out photos supposedly sent under questionable situations, requires retaliation, phony or lies it does not matter, what ever is necessary, Republicans are known to be quite prolific at telling untruths.

When one gets down to it, this is a direct concentrated diversion from reality and used to avoid the real problems and issues of the day.

Though my sophomoric side, finds it a bit humorous.

Maybe men shouldn’t be in office. When it comes
to sex, too many of them are at the jr. high level.

I would add that this smacks of the kind of thing that O’Keefe and Co. did with Planned Parenthood, ACORN and NPR, and that Breitbart did to Shirley Sherrod.  In fact, am I the only one who finds it amazingly coincidental that Breitbart was the person who launched this story in the first place?

The most obvious hatchet job since the taking down of Elliot Spitzer (who actually did something wrong - though the timing of that news, and its overall effect, were not accidental).  [N.B. It is interesting that Clinton was impeached for a blow job; Spitzer was forced to resign due to prostitution (and, yes, hypocrisy), and now Wiener is in trouble for a “sex”-related matter.]

Even if the photo is Wiener, the idea that he sent it is beyond ludicrous.

And Leo:

Not only is Wiener not an “ignoramus,” he is almost always “the smartest man in the room,” and ranks with Clinton and Kucinich among the smartest politicians around.

Peace.

Geeze, if only Obma has demised Osma the week weaner’s weaner showed up.

We had a hot dog vendor in the town of Soggy Bits, who originally named his hot dog stand, Franks hot weaner’s, but abruptly changed it to Franks, Franks for some unknown reason.

Weaner did not handle his weaner problem with due diligence and I must admit it is a slow news day, except Sara Palin wants to have a pizza lunch with the pope when her bus passes through the vacuum.

If I was running for congress with the name weaner, I would change my name from Werner to something people could remember and really sink their teeth into?

I guess that cocky, acerbic, sarcastic, kvetchy Weiner has been taken down a few notches.

No high horse for him anymore.

From Weiners website:

New York Magazine called him “an ascendant force in New York politics.” The Daily News named him one of the “Leaders of the Twenty-First Century.” PoliticsNY.Com gave him their highest rating and judged him “among the best the Empire State sends to Congress…no one out-works Weiner.” The Forward called him one of the 50 most influential Jewish Americans.

Now I understand why his name being pushed out there for name recognition purposes.  Instead of him being a local New York politician, a small obstensibly created issue is being blared everywhere media resonates.

There is no such thing as ‘bad press”.

All he has to do is say that the picture is not a picture of him. He won’t.

Most women and gay men would sell their souls to have Weiner in their bedroom,
he is sexy and might become the next president.

Put me down for less than a micro give a shit.

morons of stupid dumbness; what else can one say about pictures of a penis shrouded in crotchyness? ugh… thank god it’s not an olde congressional quim !!

Truthdig,  please, please, please don’t run another story about Wiener.  Why won’t
the controversy go away? Because even you run stories that lack any kind of
relevance or responsible journalism.  Please let this one go.  Focus your attention
elsewhere.

Only Wiener didn’t create the disaster and it’s debatable if anything he did afterwards could have stopped the resultant mediagasm. As evidence I submit this article.
