Your link isn’t even remotely related to the discussion.

Human beings learn new things on a daily basis.  Leftards (such as yourself) might be capable of daily learning, but no supporting evidence of that theory has ever been recorded.

There’s a lot of optimistic bias than reality in DD’s comment about the “drunk tweet” excuse.

Then you’re more than a bit of a fool.

Unless you really think a man of 46 sending pictures of his erection to a girl of 21 is appropriate, in any circumstances whatsoever? 

Getting a mite testy now, are we, hmmmmm?

Anamika, I call your attention to Dick Morris, he who sucks upon the toes of prostitutes.

His career has not suffered from a shrug and admission.

No democrat pol has ever suffered from, “I thought it was funny to do that for exactly the ten seconds it took to post it” as an explanation. Not one.  Nor will one.

All I claim is cynicism, based on far too much observation.

If you are a cynic as you claim, you would have more likely interpreted the “drunk tweet” claim wouldn’t have worked in reality. It would be perceived by the public for what it is; an “excuse” when you are caught with your pants down.  Moreover, even if it is true, a drunk tweeter congressman posting lewd pics to a young lady would certainly be pressured to resign. Your analysis of the scenario is very optimistic in favor of the congressman which is the norm when a person interprets some future/hypothetical events that concerns him/herself  as pointed out in the recent Time article.

There’s a differenc between pundits and people who hold public office.

Even though nothing has been proved yet, the congressman is deemed guilty by many on the partisan right.  In the hypothetical scenario that he in fact drunk tweeted and admitted to what he did, there will be calls for his resignation and speculations will not die about his other possible “crimes”.

Are you blind? Or simply partisan?

Exactly, i ask the same question. I think you are merely blinded by partisanship. But that’s alright, you are no exception.

smear the bastard

perfectly analogous to Weiner. No touching involved, just messages.

Come on, Anamika. This is stereotypical Leftist playbook! Dems get to act like old-fashioned royality with the right to bed any female in sight (aka DSK) and the MeanAwfulNonLeftists are held to an entirely different standard.

Ted Kennedy is lauded as Lion of the Senate while the death of his companion is not disputed, but Clarence Thomas is vilified as a “race traitor” for marrying a woman of pallor and castigated as a sexual deviant for unsubstantiated allegations of a pubic hair on a Coke can.

I know this is a rhetorical question, but HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

One of the Kos Kids seems to know a guy in the FBI cybercrimes unit and they are soliciting for help to rope the FBI into investigating.

I should laugh but it’s really terrifying to see how their unmitigated venomous hatred of all things right-wing has completely blinded them to the reality that every conservative on the planet is begging, BEGGING Weiner to get the police involved.  We WANT the FBI involved!  Capitol Police, CIA, DIA, Walmart Security, whoever, get em all on the case!  Let’s go get that Breitbart dude!  YES WE CAN!!!eleventy!1

Look, Anamika: The guy was a bachelor until he was 45 years old. Perhaps the adjustment to matrimonial monogamy has been difficult for a fellow so long accustomed to the carefree single life. And so – some people might further imagine — he used online “relationships” as an outlet. Intending to send a photo by DM to one of his cyber-sweeties, he accidentally sent it to his main Twitter feed.

Or so one might speculate, hypothetically, if one wished to engage in speculation.

Returning to the realm of demonstrable fact: The congressman alleges that he has been the victim of a crime, that malefactors violated his online accounts in order to perpetrate a potentially harmful hoax against him. Rather than reporting this crime to law enforcement agencies, however, Weiner lawyered up, expressing a need for legal counsel to advise him how to proceed.

We are left to wonder why he would take such a course of action if, as he says, he is the innocent victim of criminal hackers.

Whatever the facts of the case may be, I certainly have not suggested that Rep. Weiner needs to hounded out of office or otherwise punished for any wrongdoing. But if a member of Congress did indeed publish a photo of his … er, member, then this fact cannot be obscured by vague assertions that the congressman was “hacked,” absent any evidence of that crime. By making such an accusation, the congressman and his spokesman have made this a matter deserving of criminal investigation to determine the facts.

Is there any part of the foregoing explanation which needs to be further explained?

PENIS. 

Most leftists don’t have a problem with things like that.

You are not a nice person.

Like I said above, Darleen, Gerry Studds and Bawney Fwank prove it’s not just females…

Another thing. If I wanted to unfairly malign a Democrat, Weiner would be one of the last I’d target. Anybody with the balls to make the statement “the Palestinians should take their little Palestinian terrorist bags back to where they came from” is far and away from being the worse Democrat. I’d rather go after somebody like Bawney Fwank, Pelosi, Reid, Moran, Clyburn-hell the list just goes on and on. I wouldn’t go so far as to call Weiner “one of the good guys” but he’s not one of the worst.

i take him at his word. I mean, it’s not like it’s in his character to exaggerate or makeup outlandish claims at the slightest provocation, so it only makes sense that he would take this so blithely.
*slams the #weinergate shut*

a Supreme Court Justice who is refusing to recuse himself despite conflicts of interest

Someone needs to tell Rep. Weiner that Justice Kagan is a female.

Maybe Weiner thinks that’s Nathan Lane.
