Anthony Weiner

[3rdnlng]

It's Oscar Mayer's.

Plus, when CNN asks you "Is that your dick in the photo?", a simple yes or no would suffice. When you refuse to answer the question, it doesn't help.

 

It's kind-of an obnoxious question. "Excuse me, sir, but is that your penis or not?"

 

But "I won't say yes...or no" is a retarded dodge. There's far better ways to refuse to answer. How about "Ask my wife." Or "Is it 14" long and thick as your wrist?" Or "Did you seriously just ask me that? How far down the list did CNN go before they chose you to cover this story?"

Hey wait, maybe it is...

And right now, Charlie Sheen is thinking "And my publicist quit over MY nonsense?"

[Nanker]

Has anybody gotten to the bottom of this yet?

What's the outcome?

What was the root cause?

Is this a case of Weiner playing practical jokes?

Was Weiner's weiner really snapped and twitted to one of his twats?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[OCinBuffalo]

And now, a nasty aspersion: what if the reason he can't say "with certitude" whether it's his junk, or not is because he has loads of photos of his junk...making it hard to pick a single pic out of the "My Weiner" photo album?

 

An even nastier one: what if the reason he can't say is that he has lots of photos of other men's junk? What if he trades photos of junk with other men...and got them mixed up, thus making it difficult to determine "with certitude".

 

I am pretty sure I could take many pictures of myself, mix them with others, and still would know which ones are mine. All master of my domain jokes aside, something is weird here....and funny.

Listening to the radio today...apparently it's just a super close-up of what appears to be bulging junk under underwear. No skin. Obviously the media has known this for a while and I hear the pic is out there.

 

Even less of a BFD than I thought.

 

But by all means, let's keep up the coverage. Weiner's weiner is wagging the dog for unemployment.

I love hearing from people that this Weinergate thing is juvenile and childish.

 

And by "people" I mean the ones screaming "TEABAGGER!!!!" and giggling the last three years.

Unfortunately, the story is about his junk, but the real story should be about finding out who is hacking into the computers of federal employees. Apparently no one seems interested in this part of it regardless of the fact that it is the core of Weiner's story.

 

And for what it's worth, no one saw the Weiner story coming and EVERYBODY saw the unemployment report coming. But it'll all be okay because we're about to start the Summer of Recovery...three years running.

Since you mentioned it.. if McCain had won the Presidency do you the economy would have been recovered by now? For the major collapse of our economy is three years seriously doable to have a complete recovery?

Nope. McCain started spouting off policies (like having the federal government commit billions of dollars to bail out bad mortgages) as we neared the election that literally made me change my tune and start rooting for Obama because if two idiots with similar ideas were going to attack the problem, I preferred it be a progressive ideologue (as opposed to a RINO like McCain) so we could get that hopey/changey crap out of our system.

 

On the other hand, you could probably speculate that McCain would not have done the following idiotic things:

 

(1) Spend nearly a trillion dollars on useless kickbacks and earmarks to union buddies and evaluating grape genetics;

(2) Tell everyone that by spending that trillion dollars, unemployment would not exceed 8%;

(3) Spend his entire first year with control of the House and Senate doing nothing EXCEPT spending a trillion dollars we didn't have and forcing a government-run health care plan that does nothing to address the problems with health care beyond giving free coverage to 1% of the population.

(4) Insist that the problems of the US economy can be fixed if we just increase taxes on "rich" people when the definition of "rich" is "anyone earning more than $200,000.

 

This country has a lot of problems right now, and anyone paying attention knows that the current president is nowhere near a part of the solution because he has neither the understanding of what is happening nor, consequently, a viable idea of how to fix it. This is most evident by the WH response today to yet another spike in unemployment:

 

Despite the decline this month, manufacturing has added 238,000 jobs since the beginning of 2010, the best period of manufacturing job growth in over a decade," the White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee said in a statement.

 

Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director, said in a rare interview on MSNBC that “seven quarters of positive growth” indicate that “we’re headed in the right direction.”

 

Oh, great. The tallest pygmy argument.

The only thing missing from that statement is Kevin Bacon reading it while wearing his costume from "Animal House."

Did you know Kevin Bacon was a big Edwards supporter AND a big investor with Madoff. Poor bastard should've stuck to organizing rebellious teen dances.

This actually makes more sense to me.... http://latifovfilm.com/SpaceWarsTimeline.html

Mods: There is already another thread on this topic.

I did not know either of those items. And while I'm very sorry he got scammed by Madoff, I have no idea why he would ever believe Trent Edwards was the answer at quarterback.

You do realize that saving the US Auto Industry is working right? I do agree with you about the healthcare plan needed to address more issues than it does. I wish that amendments would be brought up, so that it can move alone a better path. Granted no one likes to be forced into anything... kind of like the Ryan Plan. Not huge fan of some of the plans they placed in that either and it is their only plan... forced big time. Take this or nothing will get done.

 

I don't believe that anyone truly believes taxing the "rich" is the only thing needed. The Bush tax cuts needed to be taken back as well as cutting spending. The Republicans can't ask for the middle-class and lower to have benefits reduced and shoulder a lot of this burden without asking the "rich" to do their fair share as well. That being said, I know someone will say 'why tax those who create the jobs'... those leaders in industry are already at historically low rates and nothing is being done. Why lower even more?

 

Let's face it we can leave both Iraq and Afghanistan now... or at least start the process and only have a small amount of military presence there.

[Rob's House]

If Brett Favre sending [what in all lilelihood was] a solicited rooster shot to a hot chick alleged to collect such photos is a scandal, then a congressman sending an unsolicited picture of his bulging wood to some chick who obviously didn't want to see it, has to be at least as newsworthy.

 

Although, personally I don't really have a problem with any of this. I remember with great sorrow the day when the libs all stood up with ape faced Anita Hill declaring it a deplorable crime to try to get laid at work. !@#$ing buzz kills.

And this has precisely WHAT to do with our conversation? Do you somehow believe that all the WH stupidity I noted above is somehow okay simply because you have this perception that the WH saved the US auto industry?

 

Let me try this more simply: when Obama was elected, he walked into the WH with control of both houses, and instead of working together to develop solutions to address the economy, he let Pelosi and Reid hand out a trillion dollars in kickbacks to make it look like a stimulus, and immediately went to work chasing down the ever-elusive Holy Grail of liberal politics: universal health care.

 

The net result of that self-serving stupidity? You're living it. High unemployment. House values continue to plummet. Credit is tight. Consumer confidence is in the toilet. Gas prices are through the roof. We have increased by 33% the number of wars we're now involved in. And the only thing you hear coming out of the WH is "The GOP hates the coloreds and wants to kill grandma."

 

But hey...word on the street is we sold 37 Chevy Volts and killed Bin Laden, so things are looking up!

The auto industry was in response to this: "(1) Spend nearly a trillion dollars on useless kickbacks and earmarks to union buddies and evaluating grape genetics;"

 

What kick back did Pelosi and Reid specifically hand out to unions? Not saying I think any kick back is good, but I do love how you are coming down on only democrats. Are you forgetting the corporations, etc. in the republican pockets? Now on to universal healthcare. I wish Republicans would stop bitching about it and actually offer to make amendments.. not waste everyone's time in repealing it and then never starting over. If you believe they will actually do anything to fix the healthcare system you would be fooling yourself.

 

With your statement start with.. "The net result..." I hope you are blaming both parties for all of those issues. Plus, I think you are forgetting the rhetoric the GOP pushed.. "DEATH PANELS" "Obama is a SOCIALIST!!!"

 

There are days where I wish the Republicans could win the WH and Senate and keep the House. That way people could really open up their eyes and see how F'd up everything would be. Talk about Democrats pushing Social Agendas... man. There would be no unions working for the middle-class, no woman's right to choose (in some states - yes, state level), no contraceptives, eventually only a middle-class and upper class, retirement age would be pushed to 69/70 years old and the list goes on and on.

In all fairness, housing prices were going to fall no matter what, and are going to keep falling at least for another year. There's too much of a glut of foreclosures available, and not enough demand for them, for prices to stabilize and rebound (never mind that housing prices are falling from artificially high values in a viciously overpriced 2008 market anyway).

 

You can't blame that on Obama. I mean, you can, and you will...but objectively, he has absolutely nothing to do with that issue. Worst I can say about him in that regard is that he signed the Dodd-Frank Bill into law, which might extend the slump to 2016...for which I blame Dodd and Frank anyway.
