One elected official takes photos of himself in various provocative poses including one of his manhood. He sends these photos to a few select ladies, the youngest is purported to be 17 years old but one is 26 and another is a porn star. To date there are no allegations that he broke any actual laws. Following this the airways ring with cries for him to resign and that he is unfit. Finally he does resign after pressured from every direction including his party.
Another elected official (the same party no less!) actually uses his manhood with an intern (who actually works in his office). The intern is about 24 years of age. The major media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc) and his party rallies around him in full fledged defense. This is a matter between him and his wife they cry. This elected official lies (under oath) and clearly had sex with a subordinate and tells his staff to come out and defend him (and they do).
One man has his secretary conceal evidence. The other urges a porn star to tweet a lie (but not under oath). One is forced out and one is defended – but the one that committed the actual crimes is the one defended and the one that simply sent photos and urged a lie (not under oath and not to an officer) is hounded out of office.
Only in the Democratic Party would the criminal be defended while the one engaging in questionable (but legal) conduct is hounded out of office.
There should be a 'Megan's Law' for Democrats...
ReplyDeleteFunny how you never mentioned David Vitter, John Ensign, Larry Craig......I could go on for quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteBob Mack: Interesting thought.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: What do you think was the payout or promise to Weiner from the Democratic party to get Weiner to leave? They had no legal mechanism to force him out so they undoubtably bought him out with ......?????
Thanks to both of you for the comments!
Good deflection away from my comment...Just.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe there is a payout. Weiner has no other professional skills other than being a politician. He may resurface at a later date like Newt. Why didn't the republicans force out Vitter or Ensign? (Ensign retired a year and 3 months after the affair was made public)
anon - The Kennedy's, gary hart, bubba, bawney, edwards, spitzer,,,,,, I could also find more. No real political label on asinine and stupid behavior, but love it when one of your own self destructs. Especially one so arrogant and obnoxious. Betting ms wasserman-schultz wishes she hadn't defended the weenie early in the investigation. One less in the swamp to drain. No thanks to nancy.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous.... Was FDR's secretary a Soviet Spy, or was she the only person in his White House they couldn't match from the Veronia papers to the old KGB payroll records?
ReplyDeleteGreat story, the Presidents Mistress in a Soviet spy
Alot of deflection and no answers as usual. This must be a wingnut blog.
ReplyDeleteAnon...No answer to what? You started a name trading game... Your Party Has More Perverts Than MY Party, Nahnahnahha
ReplyDeleteLittle childish, almost like you made the comment from a school room somewhere,,
Weiner made news because he'a an arrogant elitest, who knows more about what people need than they do.. This becomes funny, because of the way he's been trying to sell women what they don't want
anon - No, pretty much common sense and factual information. We leave the fallacy and lies to huffy, kos, and moveon.

Anon, so you're saying the repub's idiots are worse than the dem's idiots? How do you arrive at that conclusion?
ReplyDeleteGrump..lets try this again. First cite where I said your party has more than mine. I will repeat my initial question of which I have asked four times now. It is only nine words long. "Why didn't the republicans force out Vitter or Ensign?"
ReplyDeleteFishygal...I never said either parties idiots were above the others. But if you're going to throw stones about perverts of one party at least you can toss one or two at your glass house. Thats is what adults would do but I don't see many here.
USMC....Hopkins a spy. LOL. Really. You found that in the depths of the conspiracy sewer I bet. Lemme guess ..Jeff Rense or Alex Jones. I'm sure our CIA never checked him out. You guys are really something special. I read an article about the conservative brain and how they have to fall back on conspiracies because reality doesn't follow the road to their pot of gold. Very sad for you....really.
Back to the Assumptions... what is my party? You've mentioned my party a couple times, just what is it. For that matter I know Fishy pesonally.. don't have a clue what her voter regustration card says...
ReplyDeleteDon't happen to recall any Republican President who had a majority of the House of Representives vote to ask the US Senate to remove him from office for lying about his sexual antics.. I think the dems will hold that title for a while
The 'Article about the Conservative Mind",,, Do you happen to have a reference, or was that just something you tossed out because it sounded good?
"Thats is what adults would do but I don't see many here. "
ReplyDeleteGrumpy I think your theory could be correct
Good comment USMC1949
ReplyDeleteAnon: Just explain or justify your party's conduct instead of using the Alan Colmes gambit "But what about (insert GOP name and events remotely similar)" and then acting like that excuses or justifies the conduct.
(Posted by Just B. Asking via near dial up speed computer (:->) )
I don't think either party has a lock on virtues of their politicians.
ReplyDeleteanon - 1st link of many I came to listing barry's lies. In hindsight, I wonder if maybe sandy berger was also a spy. I wonder what bubba & hillary paid him to smuggle those documents.
ReplyDeleteanon - And I heard the libs just wish they had a brain.
