    How is this a "score one for the GOP"? How about a "score one for the American people" for getting rid of another douchebag politician, regardless of political party.

    The best thing to come out of this is someone thrashing Rush Limbaugh on Wienergate. Holier than thou Rush gets humbled by a caller who casually reminds him of viagra and the Dominican Republic.

    About the funniest thing.

    is "criminal" your threshold for whether a 46 y/o male's private contact with an underage girl was "appropriate?"

    Because if Wiener was a Republican, right wing media operatives would have looked the other way.

    Seriously, this is ridiculous, and only helps feed the cycle that rewards these idiots derailing national politics.

    bla bla bla "we chase douche-bag politicians of all stripes".

    Yeah right.

    How the F**K then is this guy still running for President?

    How the f**k is this guy still considered a front-runner for a possible nomination?

    Why isn't there a Gingrich-Gate, or a Giuliani-Gate topic? hmm. if, as Space Ghost posits, it's about chasing away douche-bag politicians of all stripes, why have there been not nearly enough energy spent on these MUCH MORE controversial aspects, especially since these two men stand to challenge for the highest office in the land?

    partisan head-hunting and self-congratulatory mental hand-clapping at its' finest. but if you're going to divert away into irrelevant moral foibles, then you better get ready to hear nasty things about both sides---but especially the Republicans, where I would wager half of the candidates would be DESTROYED by their skeletons if liberals/Dems actually cared to do so.

    Right wing media did look the other way. So did the left wing main stream media. The people that kept the story going was the right wing blogs (Ace, Breitbart, Verum Serum).

    I think you should drop the self righteousness and take the log out of your own eye lactate boy.

    Poll: Majority Of Weiner’s Constituents Think He Should Stay In Office

    In the poll, 56% of registered voters in Weiner's NY-9 district think he should remain in office, while only a third (33%) think he should resign.

    he's on "leave," "in treatment", DIM leadership has called on him to resign (something he's likely to do as soon as Huma is stateside again, and you find, what, vindication in this poll?

    that the very people who brought him to office---the very same who are said to be the foundation of political power in our society---would wish to have him back once again?

    that this is an non-issue, and most of his constituents think he is doing a good job?

    i dunno. make your own conclusions.

    let me know when you find a law he's broke

    Last time I checked being a dumbass on the computer isn't against the law.

    you should be thankful for that

    I'm just curious why they're asking him to resign. Doesn't Congress have the power to boot out undesirable members.

    sure.

    is taking nude pics of a member in the congressional gym a violation of house rules?

    we need an in depth investigation.

    He took the pic of himself. Judging from your posts on this site, you are most concerned about one of the least important issues.

    It's less important than congressman Ensign, and how many posts did you have in that thread? That thread is less important than most of the other threads on the first two pages here, and you don't really post in that thread.

    I understand your excitement, because this may be the first time you were ever on the right side of an issue, and you want to revel in it. But it does show how petty you are.
