Terrible Economic News on Back Burner Due to Weiner Admission of Sexual Predation/Harrassment
Bloggers and Personal | 6 Jun 11 | Xzins

Last week the economy tanked. Weekend talk shows were filled with everyone, including democrats, admitting that a 9.1 percent unemployment rate was anything from a major shortcoming to a huge crisis for the Obama administration.

Over the weekend, Obama was on the ropes. Many commentators clearly stated that the economy was not advancing because of uncertain taxes, over-regulation, deadly high gas prices, and the prospect of heavily burdensome health requirements in the near future. Obama's insistence a few weeks back that taxes had to go up had created no confidence anyplace. Pundits were shaking their heads in disbelief. The chickens were coming home to roost.

Has sexual predator, Rep. Anthony Weiner, actually, temporarily saved Obama by taking the economy off the front page? Forcing lewd pics on women not welcoming the attention is sexual harrassment. It is clear that the attention was not welcomed by those women so far heard from. Serial problems with such behavior would be called predation were it John Q. Citizen doing the same thing in your local community.

There is no doubt that sexual harrassment is illegal. Will Weiner be prosecuted? Will this scandal play out for months in the way that the Clinton saga did?

Probably not. I don't really care about Rep. Weiner...other than that he's another exhibit proving that term limits are a good idea.

Should the illegality be prosecuted? I think it should, but the spin machine is already in gear calling Weiner's behavior "between him and his wife." Laughable. Aren't we forgetting the women complaining about the predations of the congressman?

In the meantime, though, Weiner has wagged the dog and taken the economy off the front page.

Now that he has done his job by creating a distraction from the 0bama Depression, he can resign from Congress and be appointed a czar for something-or-other.

Oh yes, that’s the mantra okay. Now for a full frontal assault in ‘12, that is if we still have a salvageable government!

The MSM leads with the WEATHER, PENISGATE, and
then they LIE about Gov. Palin and Paul Revere.

Is there anyone who does not utterly hate the MSM yet?
