US POLITICS SPRING 2011: Let's just call off this country.

"tragic" lol, one of the worst Dem reps from NYC goes down, let's have a party!

as in? he's copping to it? Stewart is gonna be so bummed

Also glad to hear I will be spared in the nuclear holocaust

xpost I meant tragic in the Greek sense, dude.

pretty sure that Khrushchev-Humphrey deal is dead, right now Biden is asking the Chinese to spare Wilmington.

xp

aw crap

such a dipshit for thinking he could lie his way out of this

for real!

hubris

the karmic payback from him doing those phony "outraged progressive" bites on the House floor is sweet

hilarious that breitbart thinks this vindicates him from being something other then a slimy piece of shit

I'd guess that the fact the story turned out to be true will give Breitbart a lot more influence in American politics. Which is hilarious and really fucking terrifying.

so wait is he resigning? I don't like him and kinda don't really care but whatever

I'm guessing the wife isn't standing next to him? A Hillary lieutenant and a Schumer clone, that was a match made in Republicrat heaven.

No he's not and will run for reelection.

i think weinerslav is useful when it comes to big-issue US politics yelling stuff

Just a minor lol in this thing. A couple of VERY low level conservo blogs I've stumbled across have been using this photo for Weiner's wife Huma Abedin.

The problem being that isn't a photo of Huma Abedin. It's Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles.

his "rising star" phase is done, good 'nuff for now.

Useful for some clips on those shows hardly anyone watches, yes. Hasn't changed jack.

Oh, I guess I already mentioned that upthread. short term memory loss must be a symptom of something.

hero takes a fall

will never understand how grown guys in public positions think they're the one guy who can just g'head and send noodz of themselves to strangers and not get caught, I have sympathy for some of the lamest dumbasses anywhere but seriously pol dudes this one's easy. DON'T DO SHIT THAT WOULD EMBARRASS YOU IF YOU GOT CAUGHT, the end

This ought to do wonders for Ant's favor among ultra-Orthodox family-values voters

Lol OTM

Level of sympathy = 0

who will yell at Megyn Kelly in the afternoons now?

xp: (signed, a dude who allowed his college roommate take a nude picture of him and send it to roommate's cybergirlfriend in SC back in 1993)

Wasn't it called the information superhighway then?

I think you need to expand on this story a bit, DJP

Expand, you say.

It will swell out of proportion.

it's a very sensitive area

sharing junkpix are the new Oval Office hoovers, just apologize and voila

I think you need to expand on this story a bit, DJP

Hilariously, there isn't much to add to the story! He was telling her "crazy roommate" stories re: me streaking, she told him to dare me to send her a naked picture, he then TOLD ME (lol) and I was all "bring it" and then HE SENT IT

If anyone acted irrationally in this story, it was him.

will you resign?

You get impeached?

so was the woman who received this lying then? that is more depressing, particularly if he told her to lie about it. otherwise, i don't really care, other than having some amusing youtube/cspan moments, he is hardly my favorite congressperson.

oh, apparently he admitted this because ABC was about to go public with this: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-anthony-weiner-picture/story?id=13774605

egads dude, keep it in your pants.

1993? did he send the pic via gopher?

i like this term, "electronic relationship"

every network channel is showing irrelevant anthony weiner bullshit. this is why King of Queens is important television. Kevin James way more interesting than weiner getting grilled about his underwear photos.

1993? did he send the pic via gopher?

via good old snail mail

which of course meant that the picture was developed at our local pharmacy

heheh oh god

I think scanning and uuencoding the pic so he could email it to her in 6 separate parts would have made the story that much more amazing

side question: how well-known is krugman among normals? i was talking to my dad, a liberal with a graduate degree in economics, a few months ago and his name came up; he wasn't familiar with him

your dad reallllly doesn't keep up w/ things, krugman is easily one of the most famous economists. written tons of books, his econ work was important before he was a blogger. arguably the most famous living economist?

If Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) can hang on to his seat after admitting to patronizing prostitutes, which is illegal, then Weiner should certainly stay put. But when voters send someone to Washington, they do so out of trust. Trust that you will uphold the law. Trust that you will make the right decisions on their behalf.

I mean "most famous living economist" still = less well-known than snooki, but anyone who even casually keeps up on economic news would have seen him referenced somewhere. even right-wing people! xp

the howler picks a bit of a hole in krugman's latest. bill clinton promised to "end welfare as we know it"; if republicans had run ads saying "bill clinton wants to end welfare", democrats would have been up in arms and rightly so.

i understand your point, but, just look at this sentence...

Absurdly false equivalence.

Medicare can't be medicare with vouchers. It defies the very essence of the program.
