You can send videos nowadays after all.

Would a politician with a sex tape survive nowadays?

12. Just remember, with Bill Clinton nobody thought of the children.
My three year old was asking me what "oral sex" was!!!!!1 (Oh yeah, I don't have a kid, forgot. Nevermind.)

6. I stands to reason.
That is Weiner has exchanged sex-texts with a half dozen women and dallied with who knows how many more on the internet, that at some point a line may have been crossed into real sex. Weiner's weak ass-ed apology to Breitbart leave me thinking that what has been seen so far is the mere tip of an iceberg. If I were Weiner and Breitbart had already severely damaged by, but held one photo of the same type of antics I had been damaged on, I would have told him to go fuck himself and publish the one photo he claims to have while doing it. The fact that Weiner chose to apologize with his mortal enemy within spitting distance says to me there is some damaging shit on Weiner still out there and Weiner know there is. Nancy Pelosi may have gotten wind of some of the damaging material that is to come and trying to ease Weiner out before he fucks the democratic party. I for one hopes Pelosi succeeds.

7. I....DON'T.....CARE
If it's not illegal, I don't care what any politician does. If they break the law, they cross the line. I prefer them all to serve and make decisions based on honor and integrity, but I'm not one to delve into people's personal lives....republicans or democrats. I'm no angel, but to date, I have never been arrested. I have no criminal record. I have never seen the inside of a jail in person.
I break the law from time to time. I smoke pot occasionally. It's illegal to do so where I live, so technically, I'm a criminal.
But, my crimes affect no one else but myself. I can live with that. I firmly believe the current drug laws have shown to be ineffective and costly. I saw where Connecticut sent the decriminalization bill to be signed by their governor. Anything less than a half ounce. I could live with that. I don't feel sending a person to jail for less than a half ounce is either a deterrent or economically feasible to the state. So why not?
I asked myself, "What if Weiner had been busted for a 1/4 oz of weed?" That's a crime. Would I want him prosecuted? Hell no!
So, using that reasoning, I don't care what he does if it IS legal. Him or any republican or libertarian, or anybody! That's the liberal part of me. Any other response I would consider myself hypocritical.

8. Yes but is there no threshold as to the dignity we expect?
Are we capable of electing someone with these sorts of things lying around for all to see?

15. No I'm terrified for us.
It's a reflection on the party. Just like Palin is a reflection on the Repubs.

26. After reading everything I'm beginning to get desensitized myself.
By the time we see what else is out there we will all be numb.

18. I'm not. The more the merrier. I just lament it's something with a cure.
And not, say, the Ebola virus.

20. Yeah, but I read in Wiki that Breitbart's syphilis is one of those penicillin-resistant strains,
and with all those sheeps he schtupped, I'm very concerned about my gyro supply.

25. Yes there is a full x rated pic which Breitbart is holding. Maybe it's not so bad for a man though.
It's women who get the stigma.

I don't know.

30. "Yes there is a full x rated pic which Breitbart is holding."
Holding with his hands? Making physical contact with the picture? Is that like voodoo sexonomics?
