That's like disgracing a whore house.
Except that whore houses serve a useful purpose, at least.
Let's stop with the euphemisms and call it what it is.
Yup....and I bet those working girls do a better job of managing their ‘resources’ and $$$ than the clowns we send to DC!!
Weiner essentially “flashed” women. He should have to register as a Sex Offender.
As opposed to to their legislative agenda which makes mockery of the constitution, rewards the indolent at the expense of the hard working, disarms the law abiding, forces motorists to burn ethanol at an enormous cost to the economy (and to the benefit of a few ethanol producers), gives "stimulus" money from our pockets to the politically faithful, etc. They could all walk in naked and have sex with farm animals on the floor and it wouldn't be a tithe of the disgrace that they already are.
Adultery..yes. His wife didn’t deserve this, and the nation didn’t deserve this. The fact that he was in his office when he did his dirty deeds reflects on all of us. He should leave but his arrogance won’t let him. I still don’t think we’ve heard it all. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I agree. An IRS audit is in order as well because of all of the lies, him not registering his vehicle, not paying DNV fees, etc... I bet his taxes are a mess as well.
Thanks for posting. I sent this to my Congressman and asked (again) that Weiner be expelled.
Weiner is a sex offender and should ware the label in public.
The destructive aspect of this is similar to the pernicious destructiveness of the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. In making excuses for Clinton, our society concluded that oral sex was not really sex at all. Now oral sex is commonplace amongst a ever younger portion of the population, and it is just accepted. Similarly, the phenomenon of “sexting” is getting very popular amongst teenagers, even as young as the Eighth Grade. If we excuse Anthony Weiner’s behavior, we will wind up condoning this behavior amongst schoolchildren.
Dis - Graced
I have never seen a clip of Weiner, DOING HIS JOB, where he was acting with grace.
From what I read his “wife” is unfaithful to him. She is married to her job.
I expect a congressman to be good enough at it so that his lies last more than a few days or hours. But THIS guy lied about his actions, was caught in his lies, and admitted to his lies all in the space of little more than a week.
He is a disgrace to the proud prevaricating practices of his party and his office. I mean, if he is not capable of generating lies that can 'stand' for more than a week then he is truly not fit to be in congress.
Look at Charlie Rangel, for instance. He got away with his lies about tax evasion and improper benefits for YEARS. And even after he was caught, investigated and slapped on the wrist by a congressional ethics committee he STILL can't think of anything he did wrong. He still stands behind his lies. Now THERE is a man who knows how to be a congressman!
The democrats have good reason to be ashamed of this Weiner...
People expect a shred of dignity from the legislative body that facilitates the murder of unborn children? I’d say that horse has been out of the barn for a while.
Weiner is just symptomatic of a political system that stopped representing “The People” years ago. The whole body is a disgrace.
The most important factor about Anthony Wiener is that he lied. It is not important that you lied to me, the important thing is that I can never believe you again.
Revelation number two is the fact that he owes between 10K and 15k on his credit card. How can we possibly expect a sitting member of congress that is in debt to this degree at the highest possible interest rate (unless as a congressman he gets a special deal) to make a meaningful contribution toward solving our deficit problem? Can’t happen and won’t happen! He doesn’t have a clue. He needs to go.
At the risk of sounding cynical and jaded, I suspect that a majority (yes, greater than 50%) of our congress critters are reluctant to condemn the sleaze and deceit of their fellows, lest their own sleaze and deceit be exposed.
It could be that $10K-15K is merely his monthly balance, and he is using the credit card for convenience, not as a continuing line of credit. He is a pretty high-income person, and monthly expenses of that level are not out of the question.
“People expect a shred of dignity from the legislative body that facilitates the murder of unborn children? I’d say that horse has been out of the barn for a while.

Unfortunately our elected officials are a mirror image of our society as a whole.
This is what you get when one member of Congress (Charlie Schumer) invents the career of and annoints a new member of Congress. Weiner is beholden to no one except Charlie Schumer - and has always acted that way.
Why does Congress have it’s own gym ? What would the Founders have to say about that ?
Our economy has gone of the rails because we have morally and ethically wandered far off the right path.
