14. What possesses people of power
to think they are above certain acceptable protocols in their behavior and think they won't be outed in someway...? Why? There is nothing wrong, per se, in what he did, but goodness, the field day the media has with this shit. Do they think they will get away with it? Compulsions?

Really frickin disappointed.

36. Yup. It makes me very sad when one of our guys does this but I wont let it make me a hypocrite.
If he can still do his job well, I hope he stays.

It was a dumb thing to do and speaks poorly of his judgment, but hopefully he can see the need to modify his behavior and do it.

53. Yes, I'm glad you can take credit for believing what ANDREW BRIETBART said first..
Congrats on that achievement??


Does it feel good to gravedance about the fact people gave Rep. Weiner the benefit of doubt instead of instantly agreeing with Breitbart?

I mean, that's what you are celebrating, you are happy that you and ANDREW BREITBART were right..

I dunno, but that's not company I would ever care to keep......

26. Only if a credible democratic candidate decides to primary him
or more likely, he's just made the NY legislature's job a bit easier on which district to line out in redistricting.

22. I think we saw a photo of what "prodded" him to do such a thing.
I have a feeling it prodded quite a number of others as well.

is all of the sheep and other livestock he has infected with inter-species STD's.

42. I will apologise to him...
When he has apologized to Shirley Sherrod and ACORN. Brietbart is still a sack of lying shit... even the devil tells the truth once in a while.

40. That he wanted to feel sexy. Just never should have either done what he did or LIED later.
Breitbart didn't care for being called a liar and a hacker, or supporter of such.

Anthony, by not owning up originally, caused more PROOF to come out.

Who cares what he does in his off time as long as these girls were legal age?

49. Yep
The lying is what makes it worse. It's really tragic. This all could have been avoided if he had just admitted it in the beginning. I don't think he did anything against the law. Silly, in a junior high school boy kind of way, but not against the law.
