Anthony Weiner's Ex: He Lied to Me
Daily Beast ^ | June 8, 2011 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 06/08/2011 2:38:22 PM PDT by Kaslin

Anthony Weiner’s former girlfriend, Kirsten Powers, defended him on TV to millions of people after he insisted to her that he didn’t send lewd photos on Twitter. Now she takes him to task for his rampant misogyny—and says he must resign immediately.

Anthony Weiner lied to the country about his sexual misconduct online. He also lied to me.

I had been defending him, based on what he told me, but no more. Weiner must resign from Congress immediately.

This has not been my position previously during the scandal, but as I have recovered from the shock of seeing an old friend’s life unravel and have had time to get my mind around the extensive and sociopathic lying in which he engaged, there seems to be no other choice than for him to step aside and stop hurting his family, friends, and the Democratic Party. As more information trickles out about his online behavior with women, it has also become clear that he does not have the character to be in a position of leadership because of his misogynist view of women and predatory behavior.

If there was a female equivalent of Weiner,there would not be enough money in the world to make me want to hold my nose or put a paper bag over my head. Major league character flaws in these people.

As God is my witness, I had no idea she was blind!

I am not ashamed to say that, in the past, I too have benefited from women with extremely low standards...

Matalin still hangs with Carville

To this day, I will NEVER understand that union. For her maybe it was the cachet of thinking she found something to love in someone who was at the time one of the vilest human beings around.

I’d heard that Kirsten said that Weiner is the only man who had ever dumped her. (I think someone said that on the Imus show last week or early this week.)

Wow, good article. She makes a good point about how he would LIE and do ANYTHING to anyone to get himself out of a scandal, and this makes him a huge national security risk. He’s still lying about most things.

The same words could have been written about Bubba Clinton, if the democRATS were anything but power mad.

The approach we should use with these states is:

If you people are so fricking great and smart, save yourselves.

I am tired of hearing how brilliant these morons are while watching the results of their politics swirling them around the toilet bowl ready to go down.

.

I want a reporter to put a current dem office holder on record saying he believes it's OK for men to be unfaithful and to send 'nekkid' pictures of themselves to twitter pals...

The press assures themselves that dems don't have to be held to the same standard as Republican office holders. Some of these wild and crazy dem office holders need to be on the record... so the MSM can discover one more lie they feed the American people. No, dems are not telling anyone it's OK - that just a lie.

That's because you're an authentic man, and don't see yourself achieving financial success by manipulating a dumb wealthy woman.

As we know only too well, there are plentiful examples of that on the other side. In both sexes.

I would hit Kirsten Powers, no doubt about it.
I’m sure I could convert her to conservasexuality.

My daughter was at an airport gate flying back to DC and they were there with their kids. My daughter said they were just wonderful to each other and to their children. Who knew?

Just to be clear: it was the Carvilles I was speaking about.

I saw her defending him on TV and thought she was foolish for doing so. It was only a matter of time before the truth came out and he’d make her look like a fool.

It’s usually the trusting people closest to a liar who will swallow the lies that a stranger can see through.

I’m sure she’s only throwing him under the bus because she sees the way the wind is blowing. And it ain’t blowing Weiner’s way—

So tell us Ms Powers, did you guys talk dirty on the pone while he masturbated?

How many times did you let him tweet you?

Powers is an idiot.

"Actually she is one of the good looking liberal commentators"

I can't stand her!! She's a pompous know-it-all & a snob.

Now I feel better about my feelings about her...a know-nothing, liberal spewing twit who was actually stupid enough to date a guy like him!!

I wondered the same thing. As a matter of fact, how many other reporterettes and lefty professionals in DC have texted with Weiner? If the dems are throwing Weiner under the bus without investigation you can bet he has some very interesting pics/texts saved on his phone/computer. I wonder if Kirsten is worried about something being revealed. Something embarrassing. Weiner surely didn’t limit his activity to strangers.
