I hope wiener keeps fighting to keep his job. I think conservatives and the republicans should just sit back and stay out of it for the most part.
I honestly don’t get how any woman, much less a 17 y/o girl, can find this man attractive. The normal teenage girls I know would consider him ancient. I can already see them rolling their eyes at the idea he would be considered “hot”.
Wait a minute. Somebody is going to take advice from an internet flasher? Just like the woman he offered PR help to? I think the DC flacks have a minimal level of expertise, if only being able to sling the BS and not look like a douche doing it. Wiener is a permanent fail in that respect..
“Boy, you are a disgrace to the Democratic Party.”
Yeah, no kidding! Weiner’s getting raked over the coals for some online dirty talk and a pic of his unit, whereas Bubba’s “not havin’ sex with that woman” occurred while she was in the room. What kinda Democrat is Weiner, anyway? </sarc>
Charlie Rangel thinks that “wide stance” Foley was a much worse transgression than Weiner’s FB weiner problem.
Rangel another voice of honesty and morality.
Didn’t he leave his first wife for a man? I could have sworn he said he was gay several years ago.

Who was it? Huey Long or somebody. Gov of Louisiana who said “The only way I can keep from being elected is if I’m found in a motel with a dead girl or a live boy.”
btt
Who?
“An influential colleague who has been censured for ethics violations, Rep. Charles Rangel, came to Weiner’s defense Friday. The New York Democrat implied that Weiner’s misdeeds were not as bad as those of which some other prominent politicians. He “wasn’t going with prostitutes. He wasn’t going out with little boys,” Mr. Rangel said.”
Don’t forget Charlie Rangel, the OTHER ‘Rat voice of right and wrong...sheesh...right, Charlie, it’s not like he cheated on his taxes or anything...
If he won’t resign the Dems will redistrict him out anyway. NY loses two seats in ‘12.
Great take on why the Democrat excuse that when republicans do immoral things, it’s fine to excoriate them, but when democrats do worse, it’s forgivable”

I think, since it’s been reported widely that he can’t afford to quit and that he is like a gift that keeps on giving, I think he knows his career is finished and that he wants to make a deal. I’m betting that he will resign his seat if he were offered a relatively good job at the DNC or someplace.
He has nothing to lose and his very presence puts a lot of pressure on the Dems to move him along.
The real irony here is that, by calling for Weiner’s resignation, Democrats are acknowledging that there are in fact standards. But then again, logical inconsistency comes as naturally as breathing to them.
But, but what about Huma???
In fact, I heard a report that Weiner is refusing to resign because he’s not wealthy. Almost his entire income is his congressional pay. Huma also makes six figures, however, with their bills and living costs for those in their crowd, their money doesn’t go too far. It’s doubtful Weiner can go on the lecture circuit or write a book and make money that way. He is not well liked by other politicos, so his chances of getting some other job in politics are very small.
Once his congressional term ends, he’s cut off from a six figure income. I wonder if Huma will cut him off too, if you get my drift.
Who? Weiner?
Pelosi might be stickin’ to the president (so to speak) by backing Weiner.
When Bill Clinton and Obama think you’re a disgrace to the liberals, you’ve really hit rock bottom.
Here’s a guy the American taxpayers are paying a lot of money to do his job, who instead spends his time on the internet probably sitting in front of his pc with his pants down around his ankles, and yet he still won’t resign. Wow what chutzpah!
