The tragedy is that this give some credibility to Breitbart.....

[XOKCowboy]

Now that sucks.

[Dawson Leery]

1. That is what bothers me.

More so than Anthony Weiner's doings.

[XOKCowboy]

7. I really don't give a damn what he does in his private life. We need him

and his fire.

[Dawson Leery]

13. Breitbart may gain credibility. That is what angers most of us.

Weiner's person doings are not bothering us.

[graywarrior]

2. Yeah, that's the worst part

[JoePhilly]

3. yup ...

[Fleshdancer]

4. That was my first thought too

This will just feed the monster. It also takes away from the nutcase move of taking to the podium of a representative's scheduled news conference for 10 minutes too. WTF was that??!?!

[RamboLiberal]

21. Another HUGE mistake by Wiener

Should've had security there to prevent!

[Hutzpa]

5. This is a gut wrenching kick

making this fucka legit is worst than anything to be fair.

[slipslidingaway]

6. Yes n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. That's the problem, exactly.

And with guys like Breitbart out there, politicians should know better than to send any digital anything - pictures,tweets, emails, whatever - out there to anybody if it's of a personal nature with any sexual overtones, however slight. I can't believe Weiner was dumb enough to be sending that kind of stuff out where it can get copied, forwarded, hacked, photoshopped, etc., and generally used to cause mischief. Yes, it's legal for consenting adults to do this, but social media is a minefield, even for regular folks, and especially for people in the public eye. If I sent somebody a nude or racy photo of myself, chances are the recipient would just shriek in horror and delete it immediately. But if a congressman does it, well, now he walks right into traps set by assholes like Breitbart. Not smart at all.

9. Yeah, it does...

And it's all Anthony Weiner's doing.

Not only did he LIE, he gave credibility to someone who may not deserve it.

Way to go, Weiner...way to go...

:eyes:

[Blaq Dem]

10. The last thing Breitfart needs is creditability!

Dang it!

[calimary]

11. That was my first thought, too.

It puts us in a position of weakness as far as demonstrating any credible case against him as a partisan hatchetman. I posted somewhere else here that I feel like an Edwards supporter.

As I write this, Weiner's still holding his press conf and taking questions, but that self-aggrandizing breitbart is already standing prominently in the back of the room with cameras starting to cluster around him now. I was gonna say "...but the REAL weiner, that self-aggrandizing breitbart..." but then I had to stop myself. I'm not sure, at this particular moment, who the REAL weiner actually is. Both of them qualify.

:banghead:

[Broderick]

12. oh hell no

none.

[Logical]

15. Yes it does! n-t

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. Yup.

[JackintheGreen]

16. + a bazillion. That fucker. n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. For you and me, yes.

Some were dreaming about this, and were about to throw a tantrum.

[gkhouston]

18. No. It just means he's the go-to guy for slime, whether it's true or false. n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. That asshole never apologized for Shirley Sherrod or ACORN!! This is WRONG!! n/t

[seabeyond]

20. yup. on weiners shoulders. nt

[Rex]

22. Bullshit.

Not at all.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. Yes. You are horribly, wretchedly correct about that point.

That is the real travesty here.
