Efuckingnuff.

Not reading one more OP about Weinergate, not watching one more program about it. I'm way past over it.

I'm looking for conversation about Medicare, the wars, the economy, health care, Wisconsin, climate change, Social Security, education, floods, fires, and jobs jobs JOBS. You know, important stuff.


stomp stomp stomp slam hmmmph

[sakabatou]

1. I'm past it too

Hid so many threads...

[Liberal Veteran]

2. K n R!

I'm over this silly issue.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. What did your spellcheck tell you about your OP? I hope this term makes it into

Websters cuz there is a definite need for it on DU. ;-)

[spanone]

4. k&rrrrrr....

[hedgehog]

5. OK, I'm with you on this - I'm done.

[eShirl]

6. yes, it's getting about time to break out the "hide thread" option

apply liberally

[Ineeda]

7. I normally am obsessed by news (MSNBC only)

but not tonight -- I'm not watching tonight either. The man is flawed, made a mistake, but does great things for ordinary folks, or tries to. I'm fed up with yet another 'bright, shiny thing' that distracts from important shit.

[bbinacan]

8. If he just fessed up to begin with...

Nobody likes a liar. Especially something so trivial. Makes me question his judgement.

[Liberal Veteran]

14. All it makes me question is our maturity as a nation.

[bbinacan]

18. Or the maturity

of a member of Congress.

[vssmith]

26. Like taking pictures of your body parts and sending them to girls you dont know is mature

[Liberal Veteran]

28. Crude, perhaps. But I've seen a cock before. I have HBO.

And the internet. It ain't that big of a deal.

[Lorien]

32. Please make a list of politicians-or ANYONE- who has never told a lie. nt

[WillyT]

9. + 1,000,000,000... What You Said !!! - HUGE K & R !!!

But try to talk about real issues, and wind up at Olive Garden.

:shrug:

[seabeyond]

10. make it stop..... what, we found out he lied 2, 3 hours ago. stop it..... nt

[L0oniX]

11. But Oscar Mayer is offering coupons.

[Daphne08]

12. I just turned the TV off!

:wtf: With all the problems in this country, the press has to focus on this? Please.

[dddem]

20. All the problems in this country

is EXACTLY why the media focuses on this. It's idiocracy coming to life.

[Lorien]

34. Bingo. We can't talk about the real issues

because if we did the media owner's profits and control might be put at risk.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. I think you're going to be very frustrated for a few days then. It was too stupid to lie about.

He should have just cleared it up by telling the truth immediately. Now there's footage of him looking like a very convincing liar. I like the guy and I am really glad he's staying but his credibility is damaged now. Recovering from this will take time and "staying clean" as it were.

[Garbo 2004]

15. Danielle, is that you? ;) (TV reference.) nt

[NightWatcher]

16. Weiner Fatigue, huh?

I get it

[dhill926]

19. just wait 20 minutes.........

[PatSeg]

17. Yep

How many times can they say the same thing over and over again? There definitely are more important stories to report on, but they are enjoying this one so much, which is kind of creepy.

[Obamanaut]

21. I'm hiding those threads, and the Breitbart ones just to keep them off

my page one screen - and it's difficult to keep up. Hide two, three more appear.

On the plus side, we don't have teevee.

[progressoid]

22. Add anything Palin and Trump to my list of topics to ignore.

[backscatter712]

23. Damn'ed straight. I'm unreccing all threads whining about Weiner. Who's with me? n/t

[Luciferous]

24. Yep, I'm with you. It's just another meaningless distraction from the important

things that should be discussed.

[elocs]

25. Yes, what we really needed was for Weiner to choose to lie and create this distraction.

Had he not chosen to be stupid and then to lie about it we wouldn't have any of these threads, would we?

[wellst0nev0ter]

27. Jesus, I Wonder If Martin Luther King Would EVER Survive In This

Sex scandal-crazed environment.

[philly_bob]

29. Clarence Thomas, Clarence Thomas.

That's what Weiner was talking before this whole thing started.

[JoeyT]

30. K&R

Same here. The sex life of consenting adults isn't my business or concern, all that other stuff you mentioned certainly is.

[pa28]

31. This whole story is a waste of space.

Unfortunately the media will just move on to the next when this is over. No meaningful stories allowed.

[Lucian]

33. Yeah, good luck with that.

It'll be nothing but Weiner for the next few days, until the next political "scandal."

As much as I'd like to see what you want to see.

[StarburstClock]

35. It's what happens when people focus on propaganda instead of reality

I think it's great that a ton of people ended up looking like idiots, maybe they'll wake up from their politically ideological stupors.
