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

I <3 Garofalo, but how is she still visible?

She falls in the wavelength range from about 380 or 400 nanometres to about 760 or 780 nm with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz.

good for her

...wow!

must admit this is fairly cool

until the net gets regulated like it will be here.

Janeane Garofalo is a textbook case of why people hate celebrity liberals.

Weiner "seeking treatment"! What a fucked-up pandering joke.

Garofalo is on the new Criminal Minds show, which might give her mad cred with idiots.

Weiner "seeking treatment"! What a fucked-up pandering joke.

I dunno, I'm on the fence about this one. His behavior was pretty pathological and crazy. "Seeking treatment" is a lame way to describe it but dude definitely needs some therapy.

His behavior was MALE! His embrace of Zionist loons is more pathological.

Morbs OTM.

His behavior was MALE!

It just was SO extreme. And so totally reckless. I know the general consensus is that he's just an idiot, but it has this feeling of self-destruction and addiction to me.

his embrace of Zionist loons isn't pathological, it's a good career move!

being a democrat yeah

His behavior is perfectly normal in gay dating sites, Matt. Morbs OTM.

lol ok

actually now that I think about it, there's those craigslist ads that are all vaginas and cock...

"perfectly normal in gay dating sites" != "male"

the idea that men are... wired? to send pictures of their dicks to people? thats stupid

the hard-wired defense didn't work for Brett Favre and it won't work for Anthony Weiner. that said, this whole debate (even at its sleaziest) is silly. i wish people would be more outraged by the fact that Weiner is a mouthpiece for Likud hardliners than whether he's posted pictures of his schlong.

Am I the only person thinking the pix displayed were sorta too vanilla to be truly scandalous?

idk i kinda understand, like, ppl being like o_O at one of their elected representatives publicly sending cock pixx. obv its overcovered by the media bcuz lol sex but still

well if nothing else i guess the prospect park west bike lane is saved

i wish people would be more outraged by the fact that Weiner is a mouthpiece for Likud hardliners than whether he's posted pictures of his schlong.

OTM. The defense of Israel makes his schlong rock-hard.

I totally understand being disappointed about the poor impulse control proven by sending said vanilla pix, just can't get overperturbed about greymarlschlong.jpeg. FWIW my congressman follows me on Twitter in a blameless manner and it never occurred to me that a Rep would use such a link inappropriately until this happened.

to me, that's an issue that should be decided by the voters ... not the party bosses and absolutely not by self-appointed moral guardians or the media. frankly, unless the alleged sexual misconduct is criminal (e.g., pedophilia or rape) then how to handle stories like Weiner's should be decided either by the politician or the voters themselves.

It just was SO extreme

lol... it was just extremely dumb. Especially to claim he was hacked. Him saying he was unable to confirm/deny whether the photo was of him or not was pretty funny though, that some breathtakingly precise uncertainty.

yeah i'm pretty disappointed in pelosi & co tbh - weiner, for his faults, is a soldier for the dems and their causes most of the time and to abandon him over something silly like this is fucked up. imo

this is only going to be news until the next obama is muslim/foreign/socialist righty meme arrives on the scene, yawn

also as someone pointed out on twitter (RT by greenwald i think), pelosi didn't even call for that rep from LA who had cash in his freezer to resign

well if nothing else i guess the prospect park west bike lane is saved

otm

look he's an anarcho-misogynist, cut him some slack

Is that like Ayn Rand stuff with more less chest hair and gold chains?

Actually, none of them did -- even Gingrich and other retired members of Congress. They protect their own.

he's not really a soldier for the dems tho, outside of being a self-appointed cable tv mouthpiece. I think this really has more to do w/ the fact that he had an alienating style / 'no friends' (irl) than anything else.

at this point he's hurt 'the cause' more than he helped by being loud and on tv a few times, so why spend any energy defending him?

really he was soldier for the army of 'make anthony weiner mayor' and being a known figure for dem issues seemed like a pretty good way of going about that.

Ayn Rand was notorious for tweeting pictures of her cock. Prescient, that one.

has Weiner done anything of note besides tweet dickpics and shout loudly about NPR?

Man, you ask so much of him. Most congressmen haven't managed that much.

talked shit about bike lanes xp

Obama Seeks to Win Back Wall St. Cash

A few weeks before announcing his re-election campaign, President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room.

The event, organized by the Democratic National Committee, kicked off an aggressive push by Mr. Obama to win back the allegiance of one of his most vital sources of campaign cash — in part by trying to convince Wall Street that his policies, far from undercutting the investor class, have helped bring banks and financial markets back to health.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

wow.

max, I would say that an ambitious careerist dweeb who has gotten to be a frontrunner for mayor of NYC by doing shit-all is hardwired to send dickpix, yes. Though I'm not sure even a horndog like Jack Kennedy would've been as hubristic as the Schwein.

The idea that Bam has to "win back" this class he has so magnificently served -- THAT'S RACIST

win back the allegiance of one of his most vital sources of campaign cash

I wanna do this in every thread. Mods, am I permitted...?

it's really more that they're just bummed that some people don't like them now than '''regulation''' and ''''taxes''''

maybe we should offer to raise taxes on the top 1% and name it the 'everyone loves wall street act'

The sad thing is, I think it may actually be the perception on Wall Street that he DOES need to "win" them back, regardless of how big of a favor his administration has done them by not holding anyone accountable for the events of the last...few decades. The fact that he's perceived as anti-wall street is just an indicator of how powerful they are.

name it the 'everyone loves wall street act'

i would vote for this if it's about the film

it is but we're not gonna tell them til after the vote

Lebron and Miami lost.

Obama took his talents to Wall Street

Ok that was lol

lol
