2. There have been far worse than those five

Allow me to assess these though.

5 - No opinion
4 - I'm happy to stay out of that debate
3 - Nobody made him lie. So he did bring it on himself.
2 - I agree
1 - 99 percent of Nazi references here are unwarranted and either demonstrate a poor grasp of history or an intent to mislead

6. You think Wiener DIDN'T bring this on himself?

So a right-winger FORCED him to take off his clothes, take pictures, and share them with women who weren't his wife?

Gee, why wasn't that reported in the news.

Republicans may lay the traps, but Democrats don't have to fall into them. If he'd sent those pictures to his wife, he'd still be a Congressman. He knew that the RW'ers were looking for any excuse to take him down, and he handed them that excuse on a silver platter.

It's entirely his fault for doing something that asinine, betraying his constituents by risking his political career that way. Thanks to him, we have one less liberal voice in Congress. Quit blaming other people for his stupidity.

7. You just don't get it do you

The GOP, despite the fact people hate them, despite the fact that they only own The House and The SCOTUS, and despite the fact that Weiner did something that, at least in my opinion, was no big deal and certainly not illegal, took out one of our most progressive dems. And you and the rest of the chorus of self-righteousness helped them. Because of holier-than-thou hypocrites like you and all the others, we took a big hit. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face.

But hey, it doesn't matter, I'm SURE the DLC will find a good replacement

Hmmmm.  franksolich loves the GOP with a passion rarely matched, much less surpassed.

9. One has to ask "Who took the photo, and who sent it?" Therein lies the the answer to the question "Who is responsible?"

Others jumped on the wagon, but who harnessed the horses.

11. According to some...

it looks like the tiny brain took its own photo while perhaps the big brain (and I use the term loosely) was otherwise occupied...maybe sleeping or something.

Anthony Weiner is NOT responsible.

It was his tiny Evil Twin.

10. Yeah, what's wrong with people, anyway?

Everyone KNOWS that poor Anthony Weiner was framed. FRAMED, I tell you!!!!

Coming back to reality...

He did the act. It would probably have been nothing had he only told the truth from the beginning. But he LIED. He made up a big lie about imaginary hackers.

And to make things even worse for him, it appears he wasn't well liked by a whole lot of his colleagues. Because he was an arrogant, abrasive asshole.

That's the way it is, babe. Just like anywhere else, you gather more flies with honey, etc. etc. etc.

You wanna treat your colleagues like shit? It comes back to bite you in the ass. And I'll bet that some of those colleagues he treated like shit maybe even went so far as to stand up for him in the beginning when he thought he could fool everyone with his lies.

He absolutely brought every single bit of it on himself.

Moral of the story:

If you're gonna Twitter your dick all over the place, assume you may get caught. And if caught, don't compound the stupidity with a moronic lie, then expect the people you pissed off to support you.

The End

[Duke Nukum]

The gays aren't upset because they didn't get ponies, they are just subject to general bitchiness. I know it's true and not sexist because I heard a gay person say it once.

[thundley4]

The GOP, despite the fact people hate them, despite the fact that they only own The House and The SCOTUS, and despite the fact that Weiner did something that, at least in my opinion, was no big deal and certainly not illegal, took out one of our most progressive dems.

I watch the news (Fox) a lot and spend tons of time online reading the news.  I saw very few republican politicians calling for Weiner's head.  It was the Dems that wanted him gone.

So a right-winger FORCED him to take off his clothes, take pictures, and share them with women who weren't his wife?

That's why they call me Evil Conservative.

Taverner is truly a window into a demented mind.

That it has a home on the island says all there needs to be said of the place.

[dutch508]

That's why they call me Evil Conservative. 

Anytime, sweetheart.

[Boudicca]

Pippi's comments really cracked me up.
Every time a DUmmie displays a modicum of common sense and/or decency, I am tempted to speculate on his/her true conservative identity.  Heaven knows the cold room temperature IQ level around there DOES set the bar pretty low for someone of modest intellectual capacity to SHINE.

" I am due beer and travel money " - I'd like to find the origin of that as well.. Oh, I suppose I now need to post this..
