I think yubba may have posted it today, but it is hard to understand what he thinks he is trying to say most times so it may have gone unnoticed

[Platapus]

It is really not much of a story really.

[nikimcbee]

It is really not much of a story really.

He makes a great interview though.

He doesn't answer questions, he just gets mad and rambles on:haha:.

Reporter: "Is that your weiner?"

Weiner: [could just say "no"] instead [ insert long-winded tirade here]

too bad this dude ain't a republican, he'd be gone by now.

What would Fav-ray do?

Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner .

[yubba]

You think Anthony Weiner is getting testy, about this?

[Stealhead]

Weiner will come out ahead even if he gets kicked out of office he will be able to sign a contract with Oscar Meyer.He can just tell the kids singing the Oscar Meyer song that if they dont eat lots of Oscar Meyer weiners they will become a total weiner like he did.

[yubba]

Yes, a great american Anthony Weiner [the tool] Johnson. I hear they are calling us folk that follow this, gerthers.

Thank God. A talking weiner really freaks me out.

[mookiemookie]

Probably. They'd also be telling us how nobody cares and whatever the consequences happened to be, they were between him and his wife. Which happens to be true.

New pics out with his face. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

[yubba]

I hear him on the radio, what a weiner, sexting, I thought it was illegal he's toast.

[mookiemookie]

What exactly did he do that was illegal? He's a scumbag who cheats on his wife. So what?

It was stupid when Chris Lee resigned over an issue like this, and it would be stupid for Weiner to do it too.

He's an idiot. He's supposed to be one of the smartest democrats (as said before this scandal by other democrats). This demonstrates a dangerous lack of intelligence. Note that I'd say the same thing for a pol on the other side who's a creationist (that they are stunningly stupid).

Public displays of stupidity should be political suicide. That's a good thing. That said, I doubt it will have much effect on him, frankly.

No, it would be apt. This kind of behavior is asinine in 17 year old boys. That a US Congressman is doing it means he is as stupid as it gets. I'm embarressed anyone would defend this kind of lunacy, man.

Lee needed to go, he had zero intergrity. Scumbag.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is, do we really need to have morons like this in the highest levels of govt?

I'm sure much much worse has been done by Congressmen and women over the years. I'm not defending his behavior - it's stupid. It's immature, its all those adjectives you want to put on it. There's no excuse. But should infidelity exclude a member of congress from serving? No. That's something that he and his spouse need to deal with in their personal lives. It's not criminal. There's nothing in the rules of Congress about it. I don't believe it affects his ability to represent his constituents. I guess that's where we disagree. And that's fine. Nothin wrong with that. :salute:

McCain was guilty of it, and no one had a problem with him running for president. Rudy Guiliani. Newt Gingrich. John Ensign. All adulterers. All kept their job and/or ran for or were elected to higher office. And for the record, I don't think their infidelities should have kept them from doing so.

The double standard is what's embarrassing. All this false outrage from Team R and the calls for him to resign are pure hypocrisy.

[tater]

I don't think there should be a LAW against being stupid. If congress wants to enforce ethics above and beyond the law, that's their business. Regardless, I think a party that doesn't consider stuff like this as a disqualifying character flaw are broken.

Note that if the congressman has been privy to any classified information, this IS disqualifying to hold a clearance. For a clearance they don't care so much about what you do in public. It's secrets that bug them because it is a point of possible extortion against you. Any congress critter with so much as a mistress is a serious security threat.

Well, we can disagree, I think infidelity is criminal.

And I'm not standing by either party, when it comes to this kind of bonehead behavior, they should be ejected. But as far as "false outrage", I always see a LOT more of that from the Democrats. For example, they sure have been quiet about the Iraq war for the last few years. At least the Republicans aren't whining up a stink about Libya. Can you imagine what the situation would be like if a Republican president ordered a military intervention like this? :hmmm:

He should have been using that wiener to smack republicans around with.

[yubba]

Guess, he had too get professenal help before he started smacken around a 17 year old girl with it. Bye bye Weiner wasn't a pleasure knowing you, but you'll always be the poster child, for what liberalism stands for and what kind of people they really are.

One down, so who's next. But I guess, you all, won't be happy till there's a koran in every house, an illegal alien in every garden, a chicken neck in every pot, and a cabiet full of Weiners Palois's and Reed's.:har::har::har:Just remember no one is emune when it all falls apart, I'm an old country boy I know what I can do.

[mookiemookie]

in my book they are all crooks and perv's, on both sides of the house

This is true, because we all remember yubba's scathing criticisms of Republicans. He's very fair and balanced.

[Platapus]

I wished our country allowed votes of non-confidence.

To me, the appropriate action is for his district to hold a special election. If the citizens in his district vote to keep him in congress, there you go. He is THEIR representative in congress. If they vote no, then he should be removed.

This would be problematic as I also understand there is a redistricting underway and his district may be split up.

Unfortunately our system does not allow for such voting. Probably would be a bad thing. Consider having a confidence vote for your congresscritter? There would be a confidence vote every single week for every member of congress. :D

Talk about term limitations! :D

In any case, there are only two bodies whose opinions should matter in this case.

1. The House of Representatives as a whole as he is a member of that chamber.

2. The citizens of district 9 as he is their representative

[Tribesman]

Just remember no one is emune when it all falls apart
Tell that to Rod Hull.

He's very fair and balanced.
Hold on, aliens galactic conspiracies end of the world hidden killer planets with secret telescopes secreted in antarctica by reptilians for good measure........and you use his D-R bias as a measure of how balanced he is???????? You really are too kind

He's gonna resign.

This is a good thing. The trouble with him was NOT "sexting." It is that doing so is a huge character flaw given that he's married (marriage is a public vow of fidelity, so it is dishonorable to violate it). Also, it's a serious security and transparency issue.people in Congress are privy to sensitive information, as well as decisions regarding spending. Someone with a secret life is very vulnerable to extortion. The fact he kept lying, even after he admitted stuff shows how easy it would have been to extort him... "vote our way on the finance bill and we'll not go public."

"vote our way on the finance bill and we'll not go public."Agreed. I think the lying did him in far more than the activity. Marriage vows certainly are sacred in my opinion, but that's an issue for him and his wife to resolve. His problem stems from the fact that he knew he screwed up and, over what is ultimately quite petty, he became so emotionally invested in the lie that he was vulnerable to coercion.

Maybe other than this misstep Weiner is squeaky clean - but should we risk it? I say no, and I'm happy he's resigning.
