Weinergate

[Oddball]

And he allegedly used TAXPAYER RESOURCES and conducted some of his sexcapades during work hours.

In an explicit exchange on March 3 -- the same day he voted on a health care bill in the U.S. House of Representatives -- Weiner bemoaned that he had to end their conversation because he was “off to class.”

The casino worker, who said she once worked as a Democratic campaign worker, also claimed she had steamy phone sex with Rep. Weiner -- using a Government telephone.

If true,he will have to be removed from office. He may have committed crimes. An official investigation will have to take place.

Pelosi already announced that an investigation would take place, including finding out if government "resources" were used.

Radar has an interview with a woman who claims that she had phone sex with Weiner while he was in his Congressional Office.

I'm going to make a bet that Weiner resigns before the August recess.

I'm going to make a bet that Weiner resigns before the August recess.

If I were a betting man and employed, I don't think I would give him to the end of this week.

Obviously what he did was dumb. But what grounds should he be resigning on? His wife should have issue with what he did more then the rest of us. He broke no laws.

He should resign because, as a Congressman, he is held to a higher standard. If we demanded the resignation of people who act like this we would have a lot less people acting like this in office.

Just something to think about.

I understand your point. But we should demand the resignation of all members of congress, no matter their party affiliation, if they are involved in any kind of sex or nudity scandal.

I think I said that.

 

[taichiliberal]

I remember the "page boy scandal", where two male congressmen were nailed screwing pages....one male, one female. And if I remember correctly, one of them was re-elected!

Weiner really has to worry about is whether or not he used ANY congressional funds or assets during his silliness, and whether the Dem political machine will back him from now on.

If the Dems had any shreds of decency left, I'd agree with you. But their play book is to bluff it out.

The big wildcards are Huma and if Pelosi fast tracks the investigation.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

The Weiner Man might not survive after all. There are more young girls coming forward with perv stuff he sent them. So he may be out in the end. And i think it's worth investigating whether or not he sent any of his perv stuff from official computers. That would be a violation of Law. So definitely stay tuned.

If he sent anything to someone under 18 he is fucked, even if he did not know she was younger.

You do realize that individual phone calls don't cost anything anymore in the days of digital phones, right?

Be that as it may, you all were right, I was wrong.

Weiner is a douche.

Not because he's a bit on the kinky side, but because he so blatantly lied about it.

It must really SUCK to be you today. The phone sets cost money. The office infrastructure costs money. Weiner's salary costs money.

But here you are, trying to make excuses.

Yep. It must really SUCK more than usual to be you today.

Well, you have to remember B not many could summon up the stones to call for Rangels head, and what he did is far far worse and sanctimoniously more hideous, so the old hypocrisy yardstick vis a vis morals is just crap, that guy in NY State who resigned had to because hes a rep. Old Charlie? Welllllllll, not so much...........what a crock.

 

[boedicca]

Rangel should have resigned.

Bawney Frank should have resigned.

Christopher Dodd should have resigned.

Maxine Waters should have resigned.

All four did worse things than Weiner has in this instance. But that doesn't let Weiner off the hook.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

His poor Wife has to be pretty embarrassed. From what i'm hearing,there are even more perv photos out there. Apparently ole Weiner Man was quite the little creep. I feel bad for his Wife. I'm sure she had no idea he was such a weirdo. He should resign. America just can't afford to have morons like this serving in our Congress. Times are just too damn hard...(No pun intended) Seriously.

 

[cutter]

Come on, the bottle said if it lasted more than 4hrs someone should look at it. I guess it's been looked at now.

ooooooh yeah, whatever happened to the Maxine waters investigation?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

you know, this whole thing is sooo stupid, he should have just said yea, I sent it and so what? mind your biz.....this would be over now.....

I said it twice and I'll say again, the cover up is almost always wurst than the offense.....

well, if he had done anything illegal to cover it up that would certainly be true. but near as i can tell, he didn't do anything illegal...

i'm sure no one on this board has ever gotten caught doing something and said "huh? not me. musta been someone else"... which is really all that i can see he did. stupid? yes... he should have been smarter than that and i thought he was. i actually thought he didn't want people tip-toeing through his computer b/c he was looking at guys and didn't want to be outed. apparently i was wrong about that. but i still couldn't give a flying about people's personal life if it has nothing to do with positions they take publicly.

I have more than once. But I stopped blaming imaginary people when I was 5.

Yea i'm beginning to hear more on this. Man,what a degenerate.

"Who Me?" Weiner is caught in a Bil Keane "Frightmare".

Perhaps we need to add another review to the Amazon ones:

I agree, but I don't think either one of them were ever foolish enough to admit that they had actually done what they did. They are still denying they did anything wrong.

Weiner has now admitted it. He's toast. Had he done the Democratic thing and continued to deny it he could be in politics as long as Senator Byrd.

I haven't read most of the the thread.

Somebody mighta said this, but I think that about now is the time for the LIEberrhoids to blame Bush.

How Refreshing! Weiner helped get a bill passed to Protect Children on the Internets! KIDS - Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators!

From his website:

In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools, and 670 sex offenders live within just two blocks. Some offenders are even closer, permanently residing less than 500 feet away from unwitting parents, educators and children.

Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007, a bill to require sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry. The “Kids Act’ implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data.

Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children.

And yet, his STRATEGY, did not include making sure he was sending lewd pics only to adults.
