13. Hey now...
That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to deliver a sweet right hook to the heckler that called him a pervert.

As a 9th district resident, this was a huge loss.

10. Lot of laughter at the guillotine, too.
But only from complete jerks.

19. Actually, for that point to be valid...
Weiner would have to be dead now.

He didn't go to the guillotine. He resigned. Still alive.


You may not have found the comment funny, but that doesn't mean anyone who did is a "jerk".

21. Absolutely....
When he first announced his resignation some people cheered. It was still a bit raucous when some guy yelled that out, but pretty audible.

37. I've heard that from some of the reporters , so what
did Stern say? How can he even say anything about it, since his show is pretty much exactly like what Weiner did? I remember Stern's show being damn raunchy, although I haven't listened for quite a while, has he found religion or something, that what Weiner did would offend HIM?

15. Different guy I think
The "pervert" guy sounded like an old fogey.

The "seven inches" guy sounded like a younger douche.

34. The weird thing is that this happened at the other Weiner press conference....
a week ago by the same guy. It's weird that they weren't expecting it and didn't have security watching for him or any of the other howard stern guys.

14. Do you think that shit would fly at any republicon
news conference? Those people would have been tased, removed, and arrested. It is ok to do this to liberals. It is only going to get worse.

18. That was a great display of someone that has NO Class!
Shout it afterwards, if you must. But let the man resign in peace.

25. Yeah, because what Weiner did was so very classy...
What, did he really think he would get away without stuff like that being thrown at him?

If it were me, I'd have issued a statement some other way.

It's like he has no clue whatsoever about how to deal with personal scandal.

33. And so it's a good thing to lower the discourse even further? "Were you fully erect?"
Same asshole, same question at the last press conference he gave. He should have been ID'd and thrown out.

No defense of Weiner whatsoever, but that was below contempt.

35. OK I'm not disagreeing totally...
You don't counter low class actions with low class words.

That comment didn't need to be said.

But it was.

And I laughed.

That's all.


I really resent being characterized as/compared to a "jerk" (above) who would laugh at someone being executed.

People crying in the beer over this whole thing "not being a joke"...hey...they can feel what they want to.

But IMO, and the opinions of others, he made himself a joke. He hung himself with his own rope.

Not even his wife would stand behind him. And you know what...if someone's own spouse won't stand with him/her, then I really can't find much sympathy for the person in MY heart, either.

Liars get what they deserve.

31. I was infuriated. This is not a joke, and should not be treated as such.
Now THIS is how we are, eh? This is what we deem important as the country goes through a horror show of a downturn.

I get that it's funny and embarrassing and hey, let the shock jocks and infotainers do their thing once he's made his statement. But the man needed to speak in order to do what he had to do, and maybe to get better, and to let us move on. There are few things that make me want to cold-cock (okay now that's funny) someone, but this idiot screaming adolescent nonsequiturs over the speech and any other comments is one of them.

My God, I get embarrassed for us sometimes.

36. Not the place
I was disappointed in the heckler. That was really not the place for comments of a sexual nature.

Clearly the appropriate place is twitter. If he asked Weiner how big he was over twitter, Weiner could have sent him picture proof.
