NCTexan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If that isn't an admission of guilt, I don't know what is. OK. So he doesn't let the police investigate because he does not want to waste precious public resources in the effort... but he calls the same police to remove a reporter from his office. Maybe it's just me, but this does not seem to be consistent logic. So far, WeinerBoy has presented a very flaccid defense of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I saw "Peter tweeter" the other day when referring to him and just about lost it laughing. I'd feel sorry for the guy if he hadn't done this to himself. (Yeah, yeah I know. You can't even comment on this story with out it sounding embarrassingly crude.)

pollyannaish Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 One more thing. THIS behavior, (the part by our side) sickens me beyond words. I am proud of Breitbart, but embarrassed by the actions of the Congressman's stalkers. It puts Kos and those guys in the same disgusting dumpster. Horrific.

Geee Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Rep. Anthony Weiner admits he sexted, tweeted crotch pic; says he will not step down amid scandal Embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner admitted Monday he sent dirty pictures of himself to Internet strangers and lied about it but he denied cheating on his wife - and said he wasn't stepping down. "I have terrible mistakes that have hurt the people I care about the most," he said. "I regret not being honest about this. I was embarrassed. I was humiliated." Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was not at his side. They were married last year by former President Bill Clinton. Weiner broke down several times during the press conference, especially as he apologized to his wife and constituents. He admitted that the initial crotch photo that appeared in his Twitter stream 10 days ago was sent by him to a 21-year-old coed in Seattle. He said he meant to send it privately, but accidentally posted it publicly. CLICK HERE FOR MORE RACY REP. WEINER PHOTOS BLOGGER BREITBART TAKES OVER WEINER PRESSER He said he lied when he claimed he'd been hacked. "That was a very dumb thing to do," he said. "I'm sorry." Weiner, a rising Democratic star who hopes to be elected mayor of New York, said he would weather Washington's first sext scandal. As if the Weinergate scandal couldn't get more circus-like, Weiner's comments got a truly bizarre kickoff when conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart - who first published Weiner's crotch picture - hijacked the press conference to proclaim himself vindicated. http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/06/06/2011-06-06_rep_anthony_weiner_admits_he_tweeted_crotch_photo_says_he_will_not_step_down_ami.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Weiner's Digital Disgrace It started with a Tweet that was reported on a blog and, by the time it led to a Monday press conference in Manhattan, the story known as "WeinerGate" was the first full-blown cybersex scandal of the New Media era. And it was perhaps altogether fitting that disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner had to wait to make his guilty admission while Andrew Breitbart gave an impromptu lecture to the reporters assembled in a ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel. "Everything we've reported about this story has been true," said Breitbart, whose BigGovernment.com was first to tell how, late on the night of May 27, the Democratic congressman from New York's 9th District had used Twitter to send a 21-year-old college coed a message that included a photo of Weiner's underwear-clad crotch in a condition of obvious arousal. After ten days of denials from Weiner, ABC News was prepared to air new revelations and the congressman was at last ready to confess. Breitbart showed up at the Sheraton and was asked by reporters to speak, ascending the podium to declare: "Quite frankly, I'd like an apology from [Weiner] for being complicit in a blame-the-messenger strategy." For more than a week, Weiner's liberal defenders tried to claim that Breitbart, a controversial and confrontational conservative media entrepreneur, had somehow orchestrated a smear of the Brooklyn Democrat. But as soon as the congressman admitted the ugly truth, many of those in the press who had been willing to accept his previous lies suddenly turned their attention to another question: How can Weiner survive this scandal? "I think he will stick this out," Maggie Haberman of Politico told Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC last night. http://spectator.org/archives/2011/06/07/weiners-digital-disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 The Joke's on Weiner Look, everybody's going to be talking about Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), making weiner jokes, wondering how many 16-year old girls were among his Facebook "friends" and Tweetees, and so on. So I'm not going to. Instead, let's start with the sickening behavior of the media, at least as I heard them on satellite radio while I was driving for an hour or so on Monday afternoon. CNN's Wolf Blitzer, who had actually asked Weiner some hard questions on the topic, ended his report following the congressman's various admissions by saying that this is basically an issue between Weiner and his wife. Similarly, CNN's Jeanne Moos, in a segment about an hour later, described one of the images Weiner sent to some unknown Internet acquaintance-ette as funny (or something like funny) and pointed out that a picture of him holding a sign saying "Me" had "his wedding ring in plain view." So now, the media isn't just trying to save a left-winger's job, but also his marriage? Even Nancy Pelosi isn't going for this, as she called for an ethics investigation into a man about whom we no longer have to ask "boxers or briefs" (not that it ever actually occurred to me to ask such a question of Weiner or any other guy). http://spectator.org/archives/2011/06/07/the-jokes-on-weiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTexan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't want him to go. I want him to stick around and argue liberal talking points. I want his "Weiner deeds" and subsequent lies to echo behind every word he says. The DEMs would like to get him off the stage ASAP... so I want just the opposite.
