Does that include Bill Clinton? What does he have to be furious about? His escapades were much worse than Weiners. Hello, remember Monica? How dare he!
The second is the immediate problem for Weiner now having a lack of income, especially with his first child on the way because he has no private sector experience. Hello? And people elected him to help lead the country without any practical work experience? So he can't do much more than be an elected official? Sound familiar? No wonder the USA is in such bad shape with career politicians. Where does he think he should "land" without any experience?
OK...so...heres the thing. Ladies...gay guys...Look...Im man enough to be able to look at some men and think..."huh...OK...thats a good lookin man. I can see what people would find attractive there..."
But...some guys...I just dont get it...
Case in point...
Now...I dont know...its probably me...but...really???
So Vitter is next? oh snap...
He would definitely have a chance. Vitter ****ed prostitutes and liked to wear diapers during sex apparently and was still re-elected, not to mention Rangel was reelected after his myriad of ethics violations.
You forgot Ensign.
I mentioned Rangel also. Get your **** straight.I'm laughing my ass off at the mentions of Vitter and Ensign. :lamo It's not like they are relevant to this, unless they're being used as a way to excuse Weiners actions. Anyways, Congress is better off without this arrogant weiner and now he can tweet to his heart's content.
I mentioned Rangel also. Get your **** straight.
Alan Colmes is actually defending Weiner. Says he didn’t do anything illegal and his constituents should decide if he goes in next erection I mean election. Come to think of it Alan looks a lot like Weiner, another lib pencil neck geek. I don’t even want to know what his sex life involves but I am thinking little boys somehow figure in. Have I crossed a line here? LOL
colmes makes excellent points
and they are unimpeachable
Too bad. He's out.
I say leave him alone, in the grand scheme of things its none of our business.
Seems like they were all adults..
of course he had to resign though
I think the Dems are holding the trophys on this behavoir, wonder what that says,
if anything
i agree
only hope he takes that tenacity and continues to remain in the political forum ... much like another smart, tough fellow, spitzer
weiner was really dogging clarence thomas. hope someone will continue to carry the water to expose that pus filled character
Yeah, between Weiner and Thomas, it's Thomas' character that's lacking. :roll:

Dumbass should have resigned when the story first broke. I'm glad he's gone. Did you all hear the heckling in the background? LOL

The Clintons consider his wife as part of the family and Bill thinks of her as another daughter.
Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings faces a House ethics investigation over sexual harassment charges made by a female former member of his staff.
An inquiry by the Office of Congressional Ethics began at least a month ago, Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, the conservative group that recently filed a lawsuit against Hastings on the charges, told POLITICO on Wednesday.
Winsome Packer, a former staffer on the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was chaired by Hastings, alleges that she was the victim of “unwelcome sexual advances” and “unwelcome touching” by the congressman. Packer also claims that she faced retaliation by Hastings and his staff director, Fred Turner, when she tried to report their behavior.
Hastings’s attorney, Tonya Robinson, told the Wall Street Journal that the congressman “in the strongest terms, denies the charges. He is confident that he will be fully exonerated. Mr. Hastings has stated unequivocally that the record will show that the plaintiff’s claims are untruthful and without merit.”
This case is not the first time Hastings has had a run-in with federal ethics rules. As a U.S. District Judge in south Florida, he was impeached and convicted by the Senate for bribery and perjury in 1989, and removed from office.
