Hey Dems, if this nonsense does not wake us up, nothing will.
WeinerGate has received more press than VitterScrewsProstitutesGate, or even the EnsignBribetheMistress'sHusnadGate ...

Let's get this straight. Wiener flirted on-line. Vitter and Ensign ran as family values ROLE MODELS.

If we Dems can't see what the Media is up to hear, we are too stupid to be allowed to vote.

Once again, Bill Clinton is on trial for a BJ, while his accusers are F**King their mistresses.

Wiener is a dope for flirting on-line, and then lying about it, but if we let the GOP use this kind of thing to win elections, like we did in 2000, we on the left must be too stupid to be allowed to vote.

AW is an ass. His wife should kick the crap out of him, maybe even divorce him. But we can not let his stupid actions allow the GOP to gain ground.

If we do, we're all screwed. Unlike the women AW flirted with.

1. It's Weiner's fault that this went on for 10 days, sucking all the air out of the room.
He's not indispensable, unlike Clinton when he was in the midst of his worst problems. I think he should go and be replaced by another strong Democrat.

9. Why should a blue dog replace him in that progressive district?
His piccadillos don't offend me in the least. Once again, it's the cover-up that causes the problem. He let this drag on for 10 days for nothing -- and in the meantime no one's paying attention to the real story: Clarence Thomas. And Weiner's never going to have the same ability to attack him that he had before.

10. Weiner is not charged with conflict of interest..or not reporting on his income
this has nothing to do with his attacks on Thomas

12. It has distracted from the real story for at least 10 days --
more, depending on how long this goes on. I hope this can be over with soon, but there's no way to know at this point. And the longer this goes on, the worse for the voters.

2. You can flirt to flirt, or he could have fucked a few of them.
Honestly, I don't think we should trust him.

7. I guess I have a different version of flirting.
What he and Chris Lee did is closer to the flasher in the raincoat, or the guy on the beach who drops his trunks in front of a group of girls, but still it's not that awful.

11. I dunno about that..
I mean, if he had just sent it to randoms who he had never talked to before yea..that's flasher creepy style..

Flirting and having an established rapport involving sexual references, it isn't quite as creepy.. Thats just IMO tho.
