First, that assumes they are hiding equally-repugnant scandals, something of which we have no evidence. Second, (from where I stand) if they're that slimy, they <b>should</b> resign on general principles. Third -as others have pointed out- it wasn't the original photo that sunk him, but his idiotic refusal to just issue a <i>mea culpa</i> and apologize. I doubt anyone would have dug any further into his activities then.<br /><br />Speaking of that explicit photo, I have not read (or heard) of any evidence that it had been sent to an underage girl. Aha! Just found a link about the Delaware story.

Name one fact adduced about him over the past two weeks that would make you think he has a realistic sense of anything that relates to his own ambition. For cripes sake, we’ve reached the point where Bill Clinton is allegedly frustrated that he won’t step down.<br /><br />I do like the implication from this morning’s Post story, though, that Weiner needs to stick around in Congress because he has no marketable job skills to make it in the real world. That’s a perfect microcosm of our political class these days — clammy, corrupt, removed from its subjects to the point that it couldn’t survive among them if it had to, and yet somehow entitled to govern them. What a unique skill set Weiner has, huh? He’s incapable of doing anything except (a) peppering liberal talking points with soundbite-worthy wisecracks and (b) crafting the laws everyone else has to live by. Oh, and (c) snapping photos of his bare ass and e-mailing them out.

When the average politician is unfaithful, as sleazy and shameful as his behavior may be, there’s usually at least some rational precaution taken to keep from being found out. With Weiner, it’s the opposite — photographic evidence, perfectly preserved and duplicable via the Internet, generated by him without so much as the minimal precaution of making sure that his face isn’t captured in any of the photos. You don’t have to find his behavior immoral to think, “Gee, maybe this guy, who’s clearly willing to do almost anything to impress his admirers, shouldn’t be trusted with sensitive government responsibilities.""<br /><br />-AllahJoe Biden, America's Putinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802605309593881825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-27620169329363790562011-06-10T19:30:24.388-05:002011-06-10T19:30:24.388-05:00No sweat, as long as he's not a Republican, he...No sweat, as long as he's not a Republican, he can run a male brothel in his basement for side incomes and will return to office to run our lives.ichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211087258286440952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-41073684479519125672011-06-10T19:27:37.766-05:002011-06-10T19:27:37.766-05:00The funny thing to me is that legislators seem to ...The funny thing to me is that legislators seem to think most of us judge them by what they "DO"?Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094488084214911115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20180092249408711062011-06-10T19:23:54.787-05:002011-06-10T19:23:54.787-05:00"Over the last three years Congress has added..."Over the last three years Congress has added a couple of billion dollars a day to the public debt.<br /><br />So overall I have to say that any money we pay them to NOT work is money well spent. :)"<br /><br />Amen, brother Revenant!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094488084214911115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-22831263704522156322011-06-10T18:47:08.063-05:002011-06-10T18:47:08.063-05:00So taxpayers are on the hook for over $300,000 ann...<i>So taxpayers are on the hook for over $300,000 annually for these two.</i><br /><br />At a certain point, you've made enough money.<br /><br />I think.iftheshoefitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891632296334158056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-37543197777083388492011-06-10T18:44:01.285-05:002011-06-10T18:44:01.285-05:00Weiner just needs to think outside the bun for dif...Weiner just needs to think outside the bun for different employment.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804436798897573110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-60648288659230273032011-06-10T18:37:45.434-05:002011-06-10T18:37:45.434-05:00Anyone arguing we are getting our money's wort...<i>Anyone arguing we are getting our money's worth?
