MSNBC and the rest of the media is set to go after Weiner to RESIGN

Mark my word a Vice President can shot someone in the face and nothing happens as far as the media pressuring him to resign but a Congressman has to resign about a SEX story

Or are you guessing?

going after him saying he's finished

Flirting does not always lead to sex.

I hate that this happened, and that Rep. Wiener chose to lie before telling the truth.
What is it about folks lying about sex anyways? Getting a bit tiring.

That covers the age of social media.:sarcasm: It's not like he hired a prostitute to change his diapers.:shrug:

My wife would think it WAAAAAAAY beyond flirting.

Bake

then it would be way beyond flirting.

with nude photo's of me, it would be a murder story
for sure. So please, do not ask me to send you nude photo's.

I don't even send underwear shots or chest shots.

Weiner apparently did all three.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned . . .

David Vitter:From Wikipedia
Prostitution scandals
D.C. Madam

In early July 2007, Vitter's phone number was included in a published list of phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, a company owned and run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, also known as the "D.C. Madam", convicted by the U.S. government for running a prostitution service. Hustler identified the phone number and contacted Vitter's office to ask about his connection to Palfrey.<18><19> The following day, Vitter issued a written statement:
“ This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there — with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.<20> ”

The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included in phone records dating from his days as a member of the House of Representatives.<6> Phone records show that Vitter's number was called by Palfrey's service five times, the first on October 12, 1999, and the last on February 27, 2001.<21> Two calls were placed while House roll call votes were in progress.<22><23>

On July 16, 2007, after a week of self-imposed seclusion, Vitter emerged and called a news conference. Standing next to his wife, Vitter asked the public for forgiveness. Following Vitter's remarks, Wendy Vitter, his wife, spoke. Both refused to answer any questions.<24><25><26>

how odd...but true

Republican philandering (up to and including actual prostitution) = "aberration"

Democrat philandering (down to and including bad camera angles that make it look like the Dem is admiring someone's butt cheek) = "obvious proof that liberals are immoral"

==========================

I mean I don't care he sent it out to females he didn't know while he was married---although that was uncool. But not worth resigning over!

there is no penis!

He took a well lighted picture of a bulge, in grey underpants. I am more distressed by the coverup.

Most people have seen the picture and can see it's his hard-on. His erection is full on in his undies. The point is...it's not worth getting distressed over. But DU will go crazy over it and as they would if a Republican had did it. Our politicians are sexual beings and will fall prey to matters of the flesh at times.


Not to mention when you said "coverup" my mind went into something else entirely---due to the topic direction we were in.

We need him to continue on and forge ahead. He's one of the good guys, this foolishness will pass and he has certainly learned something in the process. Keep your pants zipped if you are going to be taken seriously.

lesson for him to learn that a man isn't judged by his abs or his penis. Breitbart will be judged for his filthy occupation of meddling in other peoples personal lives and blabbing about it. If that is all he has to offer the world than he isn't worth the egg shell he came out of.

Hopefully not of his undergarments.

When asked, "Did you do something questionable?" he should have the balls to say, "Yes, I did." He can be proud of it, ashamed of it, say that he tried to rope his wife into a menage a quatre (cinque, if you include the goat), whatever. Those who believe that politicians should be moral, according to their standards at least, can make the appropriate judgment given all the facts.

Instead he wimped out and either lied or decided that mislead people. "I don't know. Maybe. No. Not really. Well, yes." It's like the guy on the Vicar of Dibley: "Did you do that?" "No, no, no, no... Yes."

Let's at least try to preserve the fiction that our "leaders" aren't constantly lying to us and expecting us to say they're good and moral and upstanding by occasionally having them tell us the unvarnished truth. (No quips about "upstanding," either.)

As has been the case in many other situations, it's not the crime, it's the cover up.

that presumably the shooting was an accident - nothing in this was.

What the fuck is wrong with these assholes. While I am not defending Dead Eye Dick, at least his shot in the face was an accident. Weiner can't say the same.

Republicans seem to go on and after a while the media hounds get tired of reporting on nothing and move on. So, he messed up, he is human- just like the rest of us.

woman on Craigslist. What Wiener did was equivalent to that but in addition Weiner lied and tried to cover it up. Lee never lied about it and and came clean and resigned. So why hasn't Weiner resigned?

It wasn't even a day after the photo came out that he resigned, so there was something else there.

that any different from sending pictures to anyone else? I certainly hope that nobody is implying that there is something wrong with being transgendered. If they are, that is pure bigotry and it is unacceptable.

but the media would have been all over that showing off their best bigot pundits and it would have ruined him in Republican politics. As it stands now he probably can still get into many different circles there and probably has some cushy job related to said circles. Think of this in their demented view of the world. Whether or not we find it disgusting that the mere mention of transgendered people sets off a firestorm is irrelevant. In Chris Lee's world it would have been the equivalency of being cut out of his circle for life and he wasn't willing to risk it.

There was no way they were ever going to accept that, so resignation was the only way to go, because they were have eventually forced him out if he dug in. The difference between the parties is why Lee resigned and why Weiner has opted not to.

don't seem to have enough work to do! Their minds are too busy taking care of the man in their pants, and not the people's business. Geesh, read those damn bills, not internet sex crap.

And boo hoo, yes, you're so sorry you lied and hurt the people who love you. The only nice thing to say is that you didn't drag your wife along to stand by your side as you gulped down the tears.

and David Vitter resigns, then maybe we can begin to discuss whether Weiner should even consider it. I say no.

saying that everything she said at that point "had no credibility," etc.

So fuck him. You made your bed, Weiner. Now lie in it. Hard to feel sorry for someone dumb enough to engage in this behavior.

That said, if I were him, I would agree to resign when Diaper David Vitter steps down. Funny how the media gave him a pass and no one out side of political junkies has heard that story.

running for president. No Wiener should not resign as long as he didn't break the law.

photo was him. Yap, drain the swamp. You go girl!

pled guilty to "disorderly conduct" after he lied to the cops, telling them he had a "wide stance" and was not playing footsy in the men's room stall. What Weiner did doesn't even compare. He shouldn't even think about resigning.

IOKIYAR

Is there anybody like me who still squirms when I remember that Weiner claimed his twitter acct. was hacked?

I hope he remains just to spite them.

What Weiner did was no accident. And Cheney admitted what happened and did not lie about it like Weiner did.

I can just image how it must have played out back in the States, probably 24 hrs. news coverage. I like Tony Weiner, but I'm very disappointed in his behavior. He should have known better. I also like Huma and she deserved better from him.

Why can´t so many men learn to keep their weiner in their pants (pun fully intended)? How many women in power are caught exhibiting a similar behavior? Very few.....

:(

Where were all these salivating press hounds when Republicans were involved in unsavory conduct? It always seems they aid and abet the Repubs in their quests to force either apologies or resignations out of Democrats. And, what is even more disgusting is that some Democrat leaders play right into their hands and turn against one of their own.
I know it doesn't look good, but I hope he doesn't resign even though the pressure to do so is building.
