Saturday Massacre: Pelosi, Israel, Wasserman Schultz call for Weiner to resign

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This is getting good.

Really?  I'm bored to tears.  Weiner's weiner doesn't interest me

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Maybe I'm not following this "scandal" closely enough, but is there any indication that Weiner may've violated any laws or misused his office? Is there any evidence that, at worst, he was a boorish horndog who cheated on his wife (not that I'm excusing such shameful behavior one bit)?

Agreed, no evidence of offical mis-deeds here.......if we got rid of all politicians who are boorish horndogs who cheat on their spouses.....no one would be left.......which may be a good thing

Weinergate /=/ Foleygate

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

cinyc, do you really believe Weiner won't get reelected in his District, and do you really believe it will have a ripple affect in any way, shape or form? 

I can't fathom it.  Maybe I missed the whole point of your last post.......but I don't get it.

I can't fathom it.  Maybe I missed the whole point of your last post.......but I don't get it.

The tweet wasn't sent in a vacuum.  As the evil BREITBART is showing today, Weiner has a history of sending similar photos to others.  Some of Weiner's Twitter followers were under age 18.  If evidence surfaces that he was DMing similar pictures to underage girls, this quickly turns into something like Foleygate.

Weiner could easily get primaried in his district, or, if New York Democrats get sick enough of him, have his district eliminated as a result of redistricting.  So yes, there's a chance Weiner won't get reelected, though not by losing to a Republican.

I don't see it rising to the level of (I don't know what DMing means but,) sending pics to underage girls as the intended target, but that's my personal take on it, and I see now what you are saying, thanks.

I'd love to see his polling number in his District since this went nuclear.

(p.s. - I'm not a "BREITBART IZ THE DEVIL11!! guy but yes, he's not a popular fellow here)

Can you resize that to a thumbnail, patrick.......that's just gross

Weiner is expected to hold a press conference at 4PM. 

A drink says he won't resign.  Deal?

No, because I don't think he'll resign, either.  My guess is he goes the I'm a sex addict, I'm getting treatment, please respect the privacy of my family route.  But we'll see.

cinyc, cynic, cynic.......you can't refuse a drink for a bet  Ok, I'll bet you a drink he does resign, deal?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

God I hope he doesn't make his wife stand there and look as pathetic as every other political wife....

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I forget who it was who said around the time of Eliot Spitzer's resignation (lol New York) that that stock image of 'disgraced politician with "supportive" wife at his side' has become the modern day American Gothic.

Amen. 







It's pathetic.......

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Eh, so he's a bit of a facebook creeper. I don't really care.

I think the worst part about it is him crying at the press conference. Christ, what are you crying about? Be a man.

QFT........at least he didn't have his wife standing there.  

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This is snowballing.....I really think cinyc is going to owe me a drink back.....

I feel safe that I'll owe you nothing back.  Anthony Weiner is too brazen to resign without a major push - like a really scathing ethics panel report or criminal charges.  Neither seems forthcoming - lying to the press isn't a crime, nor is telling someone else to lie to the press.  And the ethics committee whitewashes almost everything.

Weiner will be out of a job come January 2013, though - I'm willing to bet you a drink that NY-09 will cease to exist in anything close to its current form after redistricting - a point much of the media has missed.  And then, he runs for mayor, anyway...

Ok, deal.  NY-09 stays.

I think the putana from TX was in this for the long haul because she knew this day was coming.  She saved EVERY f'ing thing, now she's a star.

Perhaps, and a good reason why this isnt just a matter between himself and his wife. 

Yes, a lil thingy called blackmail can be problematic for a lawmaker

The woman appears to be a lush.

Seriously so......damn

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I watched the interview Hannity had with the "single mom from Texas".........what a f'ing joke this putana is.

I could see $$$$$$ glistening in her eyes as she described how surprised she is to have been thrown into the national spotlight.  Really, honey?  Then why did you save nearly everything Weiner sent you?

You will hear PLENTY about this piece of sh**t in the future......and it wont' be good.  You heard it here first

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

No surprise......Hillary has been dealing with this stuff  for her entire adult life.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Even Obama's gently pushing him to resign.

That hardly seems like a surprise.

Agreed.  He had no choice.
