In his combination of unctuousness, mendacity, mock-reasonableness, petulance, bullying, hypocrisy, overweening arrogance, brazen aggression, self-pity, victimhood, and bogus moral preening, its hard to beat Congressman Anthony Weiner. Hes the perfect face of the modern American Left in all its glorious pathology; why anyone takes these people seriously is utterly beyond me, so transparent are they. And yet for some, their sweet nothings continue to resonate.
Here he is with ABCs Jonathan Karl, doing what lefties do best: lie, equivocate, lecture, browbeat, and implicitly threaten, even when theyre caught red-handed:

I mean, how hard was it to see through Tony Weiner? Or an even worse mountebank, John Edwards, who positively oozed phoniness from every pore and yet somehow wound up on the Democratic ticket as the sidekick to another pretentious poseur, John Kerry? ............
By comparison, a genial snake-oil salesman like Bill Clinton comes off as a somewhat lovable rogue, if you dont count the cost to the nation of his perjury and its continuing repercussions. The country is paying a heavy price for the medias childish celebration of what a good liar Clinton was the problem is that much less good liars have proliferated in his wake.

As I said back on Election Night 2008: This is an unlovely party filled with unlovely people, as Americas about to find out once the Obama pixie dust wears off.
Take a good look, America.

Eh? I thought it was next to putz?
No thats "pud"
I would advise anyone who is not afraid of going blind or going crazy to take a second look at the Weiner photos. Not what everyone is concentrating on: the bulge, the waxed chest hairs, but the FACE. Look at the darkness in that face as he stares into the camera, daring someone, anyone to complain about his emails and tweets. That’s one bad dude - much worse than people suspect, I fear. He’s a psycho, I’m tellin’ ya.
Beautifully put. The original article is damn good, too.
I remember a time when if you said putz in public, you got your face slapped. Those days are long gone, lol!
My father used that word (as well as many more colorful and creative appellations) to describe people he worked with in the advertising agency world. I even recall my grandmother once using it to describe a certain Georgia peanut farmer who became President.
I wasn’t reprimanding you! I was just thinking about the old days.
I'm sorry - I didn't think you were. I was just thinking about the "old days", too. ;-)
and secular humanist and postmodernistic morality
Linkie no workie!
Weiner doesn’t bend, he’s no Bill Clinton!
I’m perplexed why the link is bad????
Here it is again. I hope it works.

Take a good look, moderates, independents and those on the right who have given up on the GOP.
I am more amazed by those folks than by the party whose nominee gets endorsed by the Communist Party USA in 2004 and 2008.
Thanks. It looked to me like a bug in the Redirector, not your fault.
OK ... I stand corrected. PUTZ
A job & something to eat come Winter.

Is this grimace in the Political Science Textbook, for the course 101 (I mean what else do they teach in political science courses?) because I’ve never seen anyone make it in real life?
OK, on second thought, I have seen two year olds make it.
couldn't find one for John-Boy, unfortunately
is it a coincidence that all these rat b@st@rds are lawyers?
