It is wild how he has hijacked this press conference
Maybe they will have a cage match. Looks like Weiner could take him.

28. CNN didn't plan to have him on - it was several members of the gaggle that told him to go up
on the podium.

Very, very, very weird. Just bizarre.

I feel like he wants this q&a to go on forever.

He is milking this for all it's worth.

5. i hate cnn
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 03:11 PM by renate
ick ick ick ick ick
(except for Anderson Cooper)

Why are they giving this bullshitter air time? It implies that he's some kind of journalist. Asswipes.

on edit: Wow, it's worse than I thought. I thought CNN was using Breitbart as a talking head as a lead-in to the press conference. I never imagined that even he would flash his ass in such a manner.
I still hate CNN, though. Except for Anderson.

12. I'll stick with MSNBC and Ratigan's stoopid "power panel"
I was contemplating switching channels because Ratigan is such a fool but I'll be damned if I deliberately choose to see Andy B's smug face.

At least Ratigan has Sam Sedar.

13. Is it wrong that I think someone should punch him out?
It's not a very nice thing to say, but some people need a good punch sometimes.

21. I find it hard to believe that Rep. Weiner agreed to a joint press conference
I think he'd be justified in refusing to follow that POS. On the other hand, how awesome would it be if he came out there and called Breitbart a bald-faced liar?

22. HOLY SHIT, I think Brietbart just explaind how he plans to blackmail Rep. Weiner in front of the..
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 03:15 PM by Poll_Blind
...media. I hope they hang him in court. "I'm trying to protect his family."

He just asserted it again. Direct threat if the senator fights him...so "back down or I release another photo".

:wtf:

24. Weiner is not a senator
and I doubt very much he'd back down unless he's been cheating since married.

25. He said he coincidentally was there and wanted to take a few questions
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 03:15 PM by oberliner
Thankfully, he is done talking now.

I wonder if Weiner will actually speak here now.

gone.

30. surely he didn't claim it was coincidental... I hope this stunt bites him in the ass
This is the behavior of a man who is a pathological narcissist. I'm kind of glad he did that, actually. Can you imagine Walter Cronkite breaking a "story" and then leaping onto a press conference podium to take questions?

31. Waiting for Rep. Weiner...
...and the title says "Rep Weiner briefing"... and all I can think is, well as long as it's not a debriefing!

Sorry -- these days, this stuff just writes itself.

I must say, it is infuriating though that they give asshole Breitbart several minutes of time to put his version out there before Rep Weiner has a chance to speak at a conference that he called.

Still smells like a right-wing hit to me.

34. Maybe he is not coming - maybe there was no press conference called by Weiner
Maybe that was a hoax by Breitbart to get people to cover his little "impromptu" chat.

Could the media have been punked?

36. It IS a "right wing hit"
That doesn't mean that it isn't true.

Op research can get incredibly slimy. Sometimes you find a real smoking gun an you roast the guy with it. This shouldn't be how politics works... but we both know that it does.
