Nice to see Weiner man up

[malaise]

This is rare. I am delighted that he hasn't resigned.

Human beings are deeply flawed and social media will destroy many folks.

1. He is manning up...but only because he got caught?

14. Alerted----second personal attack today nt

[dana_b]

3. yes,but he says

that he was extremely embarrassed and trying to protect his wife/family. I might have done the same - who knows. he made a big mistake.

[emilyg]

17. Correct. He lied for days.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Emily ! I knew after all these years we would one day agree on

something. :>)

[emilyg]

21. I agree with a lot

of your posts. :pals:

22. if it makes you feel better...I was totally wrong about Hillary. I admit

it. I totally made her out to be a villain - which she was not. I have learned
people are no where near as bad as you may think they are. I am sure, you, as
am I, are very proud of how she has handled her role as S of S. It must be a
very grueling job. It tires me to fly 1/4 of the US.

4. They will force him out

bet on it

partly he is a democrat... we are now in that kind of a country.

He is a LIBERAL democrat, which makes this worst.

11. Who - VItter? Ensign? Bill Clinton? GIngrich? who exactly? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. The leadership

he is after all... a liberal democrat, and takes on the powers that be regularly...

It is now a pattern and has a whiff of something I really do not like.

16. Either another democrat who would like the seat...

...or the state legislature deciding that he just made their job on redistricting that much easier.

5. But why lie about it for a week before "manning up" ?

THAT'S what's going to be killer for all of us as Dems to live down.

[originalpckelly]

6. After he got caught, a week after it all came out?

:rofl:

[notadmblnd]

7. Hundreds of thousands of men do what he did.

just last night an idiot I know sent me a picture of his junk via text message. I told him to stop it and deleted the photo. That's just one example.

[Atman]

He weinered-up.

:)

8. I wouldn't call that manning up. He got caught and lied.

Just like all the other juvenile assholes before him.

[malaise]

13. It was immature

but all this friend crap on social media is immature.

[Cid_B]

9. That was about as unmanly as it gets...

... what a stereotype of the slimeball politician.

Less for what he did and more for how he reacted, then lied, then finally when the evidence was overwhelming then he comes out and talks about his shame. I'm surprised he didn't whip out his wife Spitzer style.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. I disagree

He waited too long to fess up.

[FBaggins]

15. Far too late to "man up"

Ignoring the sexist undertones in "man up"... real men own their behavior long before they have no choice.

Once you don't have a choice, you don't get props fo admitting that which is already known.

[thewiseguy]

19. He lied and should resign

He only came out after other women came forward. I do not see how that means he manned up!

[Gin]

20. he lived up to his name....a true weiner!

[emilyg]

23. Nothing manly - he got caught.

[bigwillq]

24. yea, he really "manned up" when he lied.

Good job, Weiner. What man! :rofl:

[Obamaforthewin]

25. He may have been up,

but he did not man up. He got caught. He lied. He's a piece of shit.
