dazedcat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Weiner makes roughly 150K per year as a Congressman, he's not a lawyer and reports claim he's got heavy credit card debt. Stand by your man apparently...... "Not only do they get away with it, they get higher in their careers," said Kuriansky. "People forgive and forget and go on. It's the same with rock stars and celebrities. They are allowed. As Americans we make a big to-do, then we give them a pass." Yes, apparently they are allowed.

FireOpal Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 It appears that he married his perfect match. Huma Abedin, Pregnant, Still Supports Anthony Weiner and His Career abcnews.go.com [This also isn't directed at Silver Rider, who is a cool chick!] I don't blame her, what pregnant woman would want her partner to leave his job? That doesn't make her a bad person or a gold digger. She has to provide for their oncoming little one. I feel bad that Weiner has done this jackass thing. I was impressed with his intelligence and passion during the "let's give a huge tax break to the superwealthy" debacle some months back. He showed more backbone than our president. But anyway, the media should move on and leave him alone, this is a private matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjin-san Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi all, I don't blame her, what pregnant woman would want her partner to leave his job? That doesn't make her a bad person or a gold digger. She has to provide for their oncoming little one. Pardon? She has a 6 figure job,she is an aide to the Secretary of State,...free health care for the rest of her life,pension. But anyway, the media should move on and leave him alone, this is a private matter. Not if he did in our time.He said his account was hacked(Federal crime),then told the FBI,it was not(lying to the Fed's is a crime),then proved it when he said it wasn't hacked. Egad,I hope this doesn't happen to any of you,... KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Secretary of State is not the child's father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Rider Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Lying to the media is not a crime, but lie to the Feds and they tend to come after you with their big guns; that's life in these United States. If you lie to the media, they may look at you funny, and huff and puff, and threaten to blow your house down, but they won't prosecute you. Lie to the feds, and you could easily wind up in the federal penitentiary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryingbluerain Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 But anyway, the media should move on and leave him alone, this is a private matter. His refusal to resign could result in weeks or months of a Congressional ethics probe over "Weinergate". So unfortunately not just a private matter.

But the next time the boner beneath my underwear makes news when I send photos to various women while my pregnant wife is assisting an important U.S. official, I'll take comfort in that, "hey, no big deal."

Not advisable; does not fall in the category of discreet behaviour, a necessity for any man who flirts with women outside of his marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I have purposely avoided every newspaper or tv news story dealing with Anthony Weiner. I just don't care. But I happen to watch Bill Maher's HBO show every week, so I was a captive audience when Bill and the ever-so-cool Jane Lynch did this side-splitting hilarious bit on Weiner's text messages. Since no one has posted the bit here yet, I'm doing so now for your entertainment. One note of caution: NSFW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks like he's finally stepping down. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/06/16/2011-06-16_anthony_weiner_to_resign_the_congressmans_rise_and_fall_resembles_shakespearean_.html Good.

Walter Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 ^Absolutely! In most circumstances, I would believe he still has a future in politics as Americans generally have very short memories and revisions of the truth are always out there. In his case, no one will ever forget this because of his name alone. Glad he is finally stepping down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd love him to run in the special election for mayor of NYC. New Yorkers love him. I also love that during the press conference someone shouted out "are you more than seven inches?" That was BEAUTIFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That last comment is very NYC, isn't it? I was waiting to hear "Bababooey" following it! It'll be interesting to see if the wife hangs around once everything dies down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It's such a ridiculous waste of time though, why are we even focusing on it instead of the three wars we're engaged in? Why harass a horny congressman when bankers who've ripped off the American taxpayer for billions walk free? Priorities, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbreaker Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It's such a ridiculous waste of time though, why are we even focusing on it instead of the three wars we're engaged in? Why harass a horny congressman when bankers who've ripped off the American taxpayer for billions walk free? Priorities, people. Because the ability of the American media to cover politics and inform the American people about the issues facing this country is next to nil. In my opinion it is detrimental to strenght of our country. A representative system of government requires voters who are knowledgeable and intelligent, but how can voters make the best possible choices come election day if they don't understand the issues at hand? This whole episode has been pathetic, both on Weiner's part and on the part of the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With major pressing issues lke the crappy economy, the deficit, and wars we don't have time to be investigating the behavior of this jack-ass. Good riddance.
