At the Longview Café...

P1000096

... everything looks beautiful.

Were you watching Weiner wave bye-bye? I was not. We were out biking the Capital City Trail, whence I shot this photograph. But I set the DVR before we left, and I've watched it now. Does Weiner have a future? I say he does. He just needs to go through a refractory period.

We went from a Weiner scandal to a Boehner scandal

Uh oh.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

Who's going to help the poor boy get it back up?

garbage, you are absolutely hysterical today. You are so determined to find a compensatory Republican scandal.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

Isn't it beautiful today?

What a great early summer.

I watched the Wiener thing on-line for a bit, but clicked off as he was saying his mother was a schoolteacher, yadda yadda yadda.

One less politician in DC, temporarily.

Known Unknown म्हणाले...

Apparently Boehner has a fondness for DC-comics named women.

"Were you watching Weiner wave bye-bye?"

What kind of a moron, in this economy, and with a brand new baby on the way, quits a $178,000/year job when he didn't have to?

This guy is the KING of DUMBASS.

I predict Weiner will get his own show on MSNBC. "The Full Monty with Anthony Weiner"

Libruls always get 2nd chances. Conservatives not so much.

I'd say Huma has likely put Flashy Tony in the "refractory period" zone permanently.

That's like, way worse than the "friend zone."

She still has Hill after all, to satisfy her needs.

Patrick म्हणाले...

Well, Garage, I'll take comfort in the fact that we were constantly told during the Edwards deal that the Enquirer was not to be trusted!

Actually, they seem to have a habit of getting that stuff correct from time to time. I am extremely suspicious, however, based upon the characterization of Boehner as "ruggedly handsome." Maybe titus can correct me, but I'm pretty sure they've got the wrong guy.

chickelit म्हणाले...

From the link:
According to some studies, 18-year-old males have a refractory period of about 15 minutes, while those in their 70s take about 20 hours

Interpolating those facts, Weiner should be hard again after about 10 hours.

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

He and Client 9 can do a news show on CNN.

Maybe he can even be the "neutral moderator" at the presidential debate next year...

FIFY

Now it's a buy.

Armstrong and Getty suggest Weiner has a future as a male dancer.

It's in the Enquirer! Therefore, Mickey Kaus and Althouse will be all OVER this. Boner/Weiner 2012!

SunnyJ म्हणाले...

Future? He never even hit pause here. While he resigned, he signaled he's just moving into something else, probably got bigtime job offer from Dems to go away.

Garage, my daughter use to try that technique when she was 3 yrs old.
Mom: "Who pulled all of these clothes out of the drawer and through them all over the floor?"

Child: Looks around, spots our dog, "Beauby did it."

Didn't really work then, and sure isn't going to work now. We are not playing pin the weiner on the politician. Because I am an educator, you do get credit for effort. But, unlike the social justice educators, I do not redistribute the grade point...so it's still and Fail.

अनामित म्हणाले...

"Does Weiner have a future? I say he does."

Gee, I wonder if he'll get that Twitter endorsement deal? Anybody else want to sign up to Twitter and see your career go up in somke?

Think yfrog needs a spokesman?

Facebook?

The Drill SGT म्हणाले...

Inability to have an erection can also be caused by one's wife sharpening a knife and placing it on the nightstand.

PS: What's the status of his campaign warchest. Can he spend it? If so, he apparently has $5mil

chickelit म्हणाले...

@Garage: Bonergate won't have legs until somebody falsely accuses your nemesis Breitbart of involvement.

Michael म्हणाले...

Boehner was hacked, Garage, nothing to see. He has a team working on finding the culprits. I think it may be the same team the dick man used for a few days.

So he screwed around with some middle aged women. What is wrong with that? Thought that was perfectly permissible in the sophisticated liberal circles.

अनामित म्हणाले...

"It's in the Enquirer!"

OMFG you don't read that trashy tabloid rag do you? Believe in UFO's probably too, eh Garage? Say hi to Elvis for me.

Loser.

The Drill SGT म्हणाले...

Sad, Garage, but I'd believe the Inquirer story over the NYT. Says alot about how the Grey Lady has slipped.

Remember their big McCain adultery expose? The one with no facts?

deborah म्हणाले...

Mais oui, Michael, it is in the manner of the French.

अनामित म्हणाले...

"Inability to have an erection can also be caused by one's wife sharpening a knife and placing it on the nightstand."

Or, as in Weiner's case, just putting the toenail clippers within reach.

deborah म्हणाले...

Weiner would probably make a good loud-mouthed talk show host.

Rialby म्हणाले...

Well, if Boehner is horndogging it around DC, he should quit too. They should all quit. I'm all for the revolving door for any and all politicians. Trust me, we're safer if the folks at the top are not permanently installed.

Seeing Red म्हणाले...

Since I don't like Bonehead - mehhh


good.

What a way to ruin a perfectly lovely day. Especially since I walk the roads and byways searching for these little, out-of-the-way cafes - but certainly not see the obnoxious, Brooklyn Weiner soiling my table.

Dewya wanna hear something otallytay upidstay? So far today people from all over the country north, south, east, and west, plus Mexico and Canada, which are actual countries, are using Bing.com and Yahoo image search for "Callista Gingrich" and getting this page I dun, and that makes me feel real HaHaHaHaHa real bad. Man, I'm having that déjà thing all up and down again.

wv = "congr" Too much for one day.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Refracting sounds so Full Functioning . Do Dem men have to go to Refractories? And can the full functioning Dem male refract without professional help? Dem politicians have taught me so very much about sex. Is this why they talk so much about tea bagging ...maybe that helps them to refract?

It was in the Enquirer. In February. If nothing's come of it by now, . . . well . . .

Perhaps. We shall see. Inquiring minds want to know!

Initially I thought that was the Cincinnati Enquirer, then I ran into the exclamation point.

Proving Truman's line "if you want a friend in DC, get a dog."

The man is ruined. His marriage, if it isn't a fraud, is also a bust.

While he played his political cards "stupidly."

During his "mews" conference, someone in the audience asked him? "Is it longer than 7-inches?" Heck, even Monica wasn't asked how long it was.

Sometimes, your 15-minutes of fame can feel like an eternity.

Is there still a fetus, growing?

That's it? That's all you have?
This is your bombshell rebuttal to Weiner?

yea.

X म्हणाले...

Does Weiner have a future? I say he does

you assumed he came clean at his confessional press conference. and then the other shoes started dropping. there's more to come.

you also believe Huma is pregnant, based on the Weiner's assertion. I'm sure he'll hold the football for you this time.

I'll have to admit I was wrong too. I thought he'd sacrifice his balls to stay in Congress.

Off topic, re Obama in Puerto Rico:

Obama acted with his usual statesmanlike tact. He was there only 4 hours-- basically a fund-raising stop. A lunch had been prepared for Obama at La Fortaleza (the governor's residence). Obama blatantly snubs the Governor and instead has a sandwich at a bakery-cafe with the opposition party leader (the governor's opponent in the next election)-- quite the photo-op. Of course, this got plenty of play in the PR MSM. It's obvious to every Puerto Rican that Obama set out to embarrass the governor-- it was una falta de respeto.

Oh, did I mention that the governor of Puerto Rico happens to be a Republican? Seriously-- is Obama the most stupidly (emphasis on stupidly) partisan, petty, passive-aggressive President ever?

Anyway, the big cover headline yesterday on one of the top 3 island newspapers: SOLO VINO POR EL BILLETE (he only came for the cash). Obama met very briefly with some very rich contributors (who had to pay extravagantly for the privilege) and made off with almost a million dollars. Other than that, he dispensed the usual platitudes & empty promises. (Especially inane-- hence amusing-- since it was dubbed into Spanish; you can watch the interview here.)

I think the collective feeling most Puerto Ricans have for Obama after his oh-so-historic trip here is a big roll-of-the-eyes "ugh".

In fact, you can see a picture of that sandwich (medianoche) meeting at Drudge today, illustrating an apparently unrelated story (Obama's raffling off a "casual" dinner with him, for the poor regular folks that Obama's all about, as opposed to big bad special interests, which of course he has nothing to do with: isn't he just wonderful).

edutcher म्हणाले...

Since Huma got the cover she needed to go on with her (ahem) life and The Weiner has worn out his welcome at Castle Grande, he's toast.

Nobody gains by helping him.

You're flirting with Pinkerton again, you little minx.

PS Nice pic. You're showing good sense. Go out and have a real life and let the Weiners of this world destroy themselves.

Thanks for noticing, chicken. And on reflection I think you're right.

Just heard a joke a guy tried to tell the Dalai Lama (the real Dalai Lama!):

Reporter: So the Dalai Lama walks into a pizza parlor and asks the waitperson, "Can you make me one with everything?"

The look on the Dalai Lama's face after the interpreter tried to explain was priceless. he clearly didn't 'get it'.

LOL.

Too bad there's no video of that.

Madison, the capital city, has a capitol building.

I remember the difference because the "o" is like the rotunda.

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...

What's with all this wishing him well stuff. Since when has our society devolved so low as to wish a perverted degenerate fiend well.

The guy is a whack job. He got what he deserved and if he does make any public comeback he should get it back in spades.

The people who wish him well or claim he can comeback are even more perverted and degenerate than he is. They are the enablers who make our society worse.

The only public comeback he should have is his obit.

William म्हणाले...

The pictures destroyed his dignity. If he had been photographed against a bookcase while wearing pinstripes, there would have been more gravitas to his dicpics. You can't go wrong with pinstripes. Whatever you lose in sex appeal, you gain in dignity. I hope all Congressmen draw the appropriate lessons from this. You should spend as much time and money on your dicpics as you do on your passport photo. You just don't have a stately bearing while wearing a towel..... A professional photographer should write a book giving helpful hints for dick posing. Here's one. On a color xerox machine reproduce and reduce the size of a dollar bill by half. Then pose your dick next to the reduced dollar bill.

Penny म्हणाले...

Oh, we haven't seen the last of Anthony Weiner. He'll be back. Quite like "The Terminator", although I am not referring to Arnold, so maybe that was a bad analogy? Arnold is soooo last month.

In any case, I think it's a good sign that Americans continue to stay on top of what their politicians do to..um.."relax".

Who knows? Maybe someday we'll all pay more attention to what they do when they're working.

Penny म्हणाले...

And while we're talking about working, there's at least 14 million of us who are not.

Ha ha But Anthony Weiner...he was "workin' it"!

No downtime for anyone on their way up.
