I am *DONE* with the Weiner, it goes against my strict policy
of "no crotch sniffing". Until someone shows me where Anthony Weiner wrote the law against sending junk pics on twitter (hypocrisy?) this is none of my God-damned business and I am beginning to resent people who think that it is.

He didn't send that pic to me. And he didn't send it to any of you either.

Weiner needs to tell them to get off of his weiner. For real. :hi:

3. Sure, it's none of my business, either. Nor yours.
How he does his job is my business. What he does with his private life is his business, along with his wife.

5. That was not a dick-joke.
But I'm OK with the rest of your statement.

7. LOL, I know, right?
His dishonesty in the matter gives me some pause, but this is really about Clarence Thomas and the unseating of a congressman who was very outspoken. We need more like him. Not less. So if he gets hoisted on his own petard (I fear) it will discourage others from speaking out.

He has courage. Now he needs to be brave.

4. I've been out of the loop, so to speak...
Was it ever determined how the photos were accessed?

13. Okay, so he wasn't "hacked?"
And there was no need to call for an investigation?

24. And then he called Leslie Wolf Blitzer to interview him so he could lie his ass off
convincingly.

30. Correct.
He'd been engaging in cybersexy chatting and sexting and Twatting and phone sex with a bunch of random women he'd never met in real life. He accidently Twatted his junk to the entire Twitterverse. He freaked out and immediately started with the "I was hacked" story and started deleting shit.... but it was too late. One of his thousands of followers saw it and screen capped it and the weinergate had been opened.

with pent up frustration over this situation have been rubbing Weiner the wrong way....

14. How about lying? Is that ok too?
Weiner could have admitted that the pictures were his or simply say it is nobody's business, but he chose to lie about it. I have no problem with the pix or anything between consenting adults. I do have a problem with lying and his specifically lying about the situation.

15. There have been supposed progressives HERE
insisting he has some sort of psychological/mental disorder and needs help, because *gasp* he's a straight married man that doesn't have eyes for just his wife. With all the tolerance and acceptance from so-called "progressives", I'm not surprised at all that he tried to lie about it.

16. No one cares about the pictures,it's the damned lying that gets most
of us.

Do pols lose their honesty as soon as they are elected?

Hikes on the Appalachian Trail,wide stances,"I did not have sex with that woman", the John Edwards denial about the child,and now this?

Lies,lies,lies.

19. What, exactly, WAS the lie Weiner told?
Many people are saying that it wasn't what Weiner DID that disgusts them, but rather that he lied about it. So please help me understand what that lie actually WAS.

It couldn't be that the photos were not of him, because he never said that. I distinctly remember him saying: 'like many guys, I have 'fooled around' with my camera, so I'm not saying the photo WASN'T me.'

So, was the lie that he said he never tweeted these photos when it turns out he did? Or was it his (lame) attempts to defuse the story in hopes it would go away? Or was it that he did not immediately come clean and tell the whole sordid story as soon as Breitbart broke it?

Or what?

Once that lie is precisely identified, I can decide for myself if it was sufficiently dastardly to justify calling for him to resign.

27. Ummmm,he said his account was hacked. It wasn't. He also
said,"I haven't told the truth".

He lied.

I never suggested that he resign,that's up to his constituents.

21. But the Republicans stealing Medicare and Social Security
are way honest fellows. So let's get rid of the man who stands up and fights them.

What a victory for "honesty." And hypocrisy.

25. this is about Weiner, not everyone else in the freaking world.
if you think a free for all, post your crotch pictures online for congresspeople and all those elected by people (who I can safely assume didn't vote for this kind of shit if they knew - how his bad judgement insults all those who did vote for him) if you think the world would be better for us to know all of their private parts, well, what can I say.

29. Your lame jumping on the "Moral Majority" bandwagon is way more embarrassing
As is your expectation that you be given honest responses to things that are none of your business.

35. I am sick to death of this non-conspiracy.
I've hidden well over 250 threads on this subject, and I cant hide the new ones fast enough, I'm tired of arguing about it, I'm tired of who said what... I just want it over with.
