Life isn't fair, as Carter wisely said. Sometimes you have to take one for the team.

2. And sometimes you don't.

I would think if his constituents want him to resign he will. Or a recall could always be organized by those who want him gone. It would be easy for you to find out how to do one.

6. bad analogy...

taking one for the team is about taking a 'shot' in order to benefit the team...getting beaned on purpose to get on base. this is NOT taking one for the team...this is fucking up and paying the price...

8. There are several other Democrats that need to take one for the team.

Anthony is NOT one of them.

13. not that I really give a shit whether he goes or stays

18. I care about all the press conferences, all the lying, all the stupidity,

Edited on Wed Jun-08-11 06:41 PM by pnwmom

for 10 days when other far more important things were happening that needed media attention.

He let this continue even though any idiot would have known that you can't control texts, emails, and twitters once they go out into the world. And he thought it was okay to email one of his friends, the porn star, that she should lie about their conversations -- and that he could get one of his "team" to help her. Anyone this delusional doesn't belong in office.

17. The "team" is just trying to make hay by squeezing a Andrew Cuomo type into a liberal district.

So, fuck em.
