Dems Turning on Weiner; "Like Watching a Charlie Sheen Meltdown"
Pundit Press ^ | 6/2/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/02/2011 9:58:05 AM PDT by rightistight

Anthony Weiner, who is now embroiled in a Twitter controversy in which he allegedly sent a picture of an aroused man (wearing underwear) to a woman, is now losing support from his staunchest supporters: Democrats.

After nearly a week of bumbling about and starting more questions than answering them, Democrats have become weary of the Congressman from New York.

"Watching Anthony Weiner's twitter and press blitz is like watching a Charlie Sheen meltdown. It's amusing, uncomfortable, and not necessary," said one high-ranking Democratic aide. "If Weiner really wants to get beyond this, he'll shut up and let Democrats get back to their Medicare message."

When asked about the controversy surrounding Mr. Weiner, one Democratic staffer stated bluntly: "How much schadenfreude is happening because of this? A lot."

Ed Koch, former New York City mayor, echoed these statements, saying, "I think he's in trouble… I think he has a problem."

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and it would have blown over.

But he's too smart for that.

I agree with Rush on this....I don’t need this little “weiner” scandal to know this guy is a real schmuck.

The democrats have grown tired of Weiner; they have had enough of Weiner to last them a life-time; they now find Weiner boring and repetitive; they no longer like Weiner; they no longer crave Weiner.

(Except Barney Frank, of course. Barney still LOVES Weiner and plans to stick with Weiner until the bitter end).

If the Democrats actually were “turning on him” I might be impressed. However, they are just telling him, “Shut up and the MSM and your party will make this go away”. Pretty telling.

The democrats have grown tired of Weiner;

I'm actually surprised that they haven't embraced Lil' Anthony even more. The DemonRATS are the party of atheistic liberalism. Homosexuality, abortion, pedophilia and all forms of depravity are the stock in trade of DemonRATS.

Ergo this Weiner idiot ought to be the poster child of the commie 'RATS.

"He has a problem. He’s a pervert."

Democrats don't seem to have a problem with perverts. He's just not their type of pervert.

". . . said one high-ranking Democratic aide. . . "

Will someone please tell me what the bloody hell a "high-ranking Democratic aide" is???????????????

First...it isn't "Democratic"....it is DEMOCRAT!!!! Why is it that the msm can't seem to get this right...and why doesn't anyone call them on it?

Second..."high ranking"??? What? The democrats are now giving out ranks?? What is "high"?? LTC, 2LT, MSGT??? What?

Third...."high"??? Is this person on the fifth floor of a six story building? Are they on drugs constantly?

Any source...at any time...that will not use their full name ought to be completely ignored. Doubly so if they are a DEMOCRAT!!!

Fourth....aide???? What is an "aide"??? Is that like an intern, but a guy? Is it Kool's last name?? Is it a medical "live in" that assists the owner to get to the potty on time??? What does an "aide" do exactly?

He has a problem. He’s a pervert.

Given his apparent "interest", one might describe Weiner as a B.V. Deviant.

This would answer why he is no longer answering any more questions.
