Weiner being a Weiner

**Gerry** · 06-01-2011, 02:40 PM

If you have not been following the news, a lewd photo of Weiner was sent to a 21 year old college student in Washington. He follows this student on Twitter.

Since this incident, there has a been quite a firestorm of allegations, including Weiner saying that his Twitter account was hacked...which would actually be believable if it could be proven. And, it would be so easy to prove...if it was true.

Regardless who did it, it is a crime and should be handled as a crime and a criminal investigation.

But his response to Reporters at a news briefing is Weiner not only being a Weiner, but being an absolute dick when he evades direct questions and calls a CNN producer a "jackass".

Weiner is supposed to appear on the Wolf Blitzer show in a couple of hours. It will be interesting if he actually shows up.

Frankly, if he did it and is guilty, his political career is over - and rightly so.

Doc going after a democrat? A NY Democrat at that.. Wow!.. I thought the day would never come when I would see this. Is this Doc turning over a new leaf?, this cant be.

I'm more willing to believe Doc's dnf account was hacked than Weiner's Twitter account.

At any rate, Weiner is not denying the photo was that of him. Which tells us that it is him and he very likely did send it... Filing a false report with the FBI is a whole other matter, let's see if justice prevails in this case, I don't think it will, NOT with Eric Holder at the wheel.

If your a politician, you get a slap on the wrist, If your a private citizen you go to jail.. Sadly this is the way our justice system works.

You are mistaken doc. This is not news.

I agree, he needs to be affiliated with the Republican party in order for it to be classified as "news"

On the one hand, I don't believe Weiner could have been so stupid. But I saw his interview with Wolf. He wasn't the least bit convincing.

"Frankly, if he did it and is guilty, his political career is over - and rightly so"

It was over being born with that name, at least higher up political career. President Weiner, nah.

Yeah, losing it like he did, it's over. Doesn't have the right temperament. I remember Perot losing it with some questions or something simple like Dean howling, his numbers just took a tumble after that.

Guess what...Weiner is holding a news conference at 4pm.

Allegedly, a SLEW of new photos have emerged, some have been published on websites.

Granted, some of the photos (head shots) are clearly him but that means nothing in terms of a scandal. Head shots are head shots and anyone could have taken them. Some appear as if it is just him chillin out.

The one's that are allegedly his "privates" or lower shots of him in his underwear, well, that remains to be seen if those are indeed him.

Here are a couple of sources (one being andrew brietbart...yuk)

I believe the Senator is going to either step down while the investigation goes on OR resign.

See CNN at 4:00 pm, EST (27 minutes from now).

He's toast!!!!

Watching this now, yeah, he's done.

**Gerry** · 06-06-2011, 03:28 PM

So it was Weiner's weiner.

**axeman** · 06-07-2011, 04:16 AM

How can this clown not resign, or be sacked?

What a douchebag.........not to mention quite creepy.

**draggar** · 06-07-2011, 06:45 AM

Yet another instance of a politician lying to try to cover their rear and it ends up burning them in the end.

Will these people ever just admit they did something wrong? Seriously, it wouldn't be as big of a news story if he had just said "Yeah, I did it, and it was stupid for me to do it.".

THis just proves that both parties can lack ethics and integrity at times.

I always wonder how many everyday people would get fired if they were held to the same moral and "ethical standards" as they hold their elected leaders.

probably 90% +

Places I work would hold that standard to 100%, especially if connected to doing this on company time.

Damn! No one will take this guy seriously anymore.

It certainly is quite hard to believe that the US will get back on track when those running it are webcamming themselves with a hard on in their underpants and sending pics to random women.....................I just dont see it.
