    Yeah former Rep. Anthony Weiner certainly did pass along the “HARD” stuff albeit short…..

    Again, President Obama should get off the Twitter, stop playing golf and pay some attention to the national economy. This is NOT fun and games so stop frakking around with your re-election winning the future BS and get down to business with the Congress.

    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    Twitter queen indeed.

    As New York Rep. Anthony Weiner heads off the rehab – (didn’t we all know that was coming?) more embarrassing photos of his online sexploits surface.

    Rep. Anthony Weiner took several pictures of himself grabbing his privates, part of a new batch of embarrassing photos that surfaced online Sunday morning.

    The gossip website TMZ.com posted 11 photos it claimed were taken in the House member’s gym, a private exercise facility in the Capitol complex that is open to current and former lawmakers.

    The photos show Weiner standing in front of a mirror, his BlackBerry pointed forward snapping shots of bare chest, often with just a towel draped over his genitals. There are also shots of him in the middle of the exercise room, with empty elliptical trainers behind him.

    The online gallery of Weiner’s bizzare shots was posted the day after the New York congressman rejected calls from a slew of Democratic Party leaders for him to resign his seat amid the drip-drip-drip of a sex scandal that has captivated Washington and New York for more than two weeks now. Each day brings an embarrassing new revelation for Weiner, who said Saturday that he would take a leave of absence and seek professional treatment while he charts his next move.

    But, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have a problem on their hands as long as Weiner holds office. But, maybe Weiner thinks he can survive like Rep. Barney Frank?

    Day By Day June 4, 2011 – Weenie Run



    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    I am a few days behind on Day By Day but it is NOW obvious that Rep. Anthony Weiner won’t be running for New York City Mayor or probably anything else, including re-election to the House. The latest in the scandal is from TMZ.com.

    Congressman Anthony Weiner instructed one of his Internet women how to lie about their relationship … and even offered PR help from his team, which could create major legal issues for him … TMZ has learned.

    Weiner and former porn star Ginger Lee exchanged scores of sexual emails over a long period of time.  When the underwear scandal broke on May 28, Lee began receiving calls from the media, and Weiner was more than happy to help her control the situation … by lying.

    It is ONLY going to get worse for him as the House moves on an Ethics probe.

    By Friday, I predict, the Democratic Leaders of the House and Senate will pay the New York Congressman a visit and tell him it is over and that he must go. I would say sometime Friday afternoon D.C. time = say 5 PM.

    Weinergate: Put a Fork in Weiner – He’s Done

    U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) speaks to the media in New York, June 6, 2011. Representative Anthony Weiner admitted on Monday to sending a lewd photo of himself to a 21-year-old female college student over his Twitter account after previously denying he had done so

    I think so.

    It was only fitting that the circus surrounding Rep. Anthony Weiner’s admission on Monday that he had, in fact, sent lewd messages to random females over Twitter ended with a lewd question referencing a wiener.

    “Were you fully erect?” an apparent plant from a shock jock radio show shouted as the New York Democrat ended a painful apology news conference in New York City’s Sheraton Hotel.

    Tent pole jokes aside, the inquisitor highlighted a remarkable fact: A man regarded as one of the smartest strategists in Democratic politics and a likely 2013 New York City mayoral frontrunner had fallen from the rising star to national punch line in less than a week.

    And the embarrassing scandal inevitably raised the question of whether the career of a politician — even one as skilled as many thought Weiner was — could survive it. A quick poll of New York politicos and D.C. pundits found few saying he could. But they also noted a geopolitical factor that worked to his advantage: This is New York — stranger things have happened.

    “He needs to have a multi-year commitment to a comeback strategy,” said Chris Lehane, a Democratic operative and oft-described crisis communications expert with experience in the Clinton White House. “I’d tell him that you have to realize it will take you multiple years to get back to the position you were in just a week ago.”

    Rep. Anthony Weiner ain’t no Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton.

    Put a fork in him – He’s Done.

    Weinergate: Rep Anthony Weiner’s Press Conference Was a FAKE – Yeah, Sure It Was



    Yeah, sure it was.

    So how do I know today’s press conference was a hoax?  There are ten reasons:

    1) Today’s press conference was supposedly held at a Sheraton hotel in New York City.   Well, I went to websites various New York area Sheratons this morning.  Not one of them indicated that Rep. Weiner was going to give a press conference there this afternoon.  Not a ONE.

    2) Anthony Weiner does not look like that.   Go to his website – he has more hair and his complexion is not that dark.   Also, having heard him speak many times, I know he does not talk like the guy in the press conference.  He’s a lot more combative, louder, and funnier.

    3) YFrog.

    4) Last week, Anthony Weiner said he could not say with “certaintude” that the photo was his.  Many people here rightly assumed that he knew the photo was not his, but couldn’t say so, because the FBI was involved.   Because as you know, if you’ve asked the police to investigate something, that last thing you would want to do is proclaim your innocence.  They hate that.   Anyhow, the Feds surely would have known that Weiner making a statement would have compromised their whole investigation.    And Andrew Breitbart, knowing this, had a press conference with a fake Weiner – so as to keep the FBI off his scent.

    5) Who does this help?  Clarence Thomas, Dana Loesch, Dana Bash, and some guy named Wolfe.   Think about it.  Add it up.

    6) Normally, during press conferences of this nature, the spouse of the so-called apologetic Congressman is in attendance.   But not this time.   Why not?  Obviously they couldn’t find a lookalike for her. 

    7) Don’t you think he would have apologized using Tweet Deck?

    8) During the press conference, the shadow behind him didn’t always match the image of the person pretending to be Congressman Weiner.

    9) I’ve created better fake press conferences using only iMovie, a couple of Apps on my EVO, and a cardboard cutout.

    10) Anthony Weiner would never do anything like this.

    Uh Huh….Laugh while it is still up on the Daily Kos site.

    Weinergate: Rep Nancy Pelosi Calls for Ethics Inquiry Over Weiner Tweet Scandal

    Former Democratic Speaker and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi with rep. Anthony Weiner and former Democratic N.Y. Governor Eliot Spitzer who resigned after a scandal involving prostitutes

    Who will be the first Dem to throw Weiner under the bus?

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, are calling for an investigation into Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) over the series of sexually explicit conservations and lewd photos he exchanged with a half-dozen women during the last several years.

    “I am deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation; for Anthony’s wife, Huma, his family, his staff and his constituents,” Pelosi said in a statement released on Monday night.

    “I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”

    Israel added: “Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future .

    “To remove all remaining doubt about this situation, I agree with Leader Pelosi’s request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an investigation.”

    It won’t be long before Weiner is shown the door by his fellow Dems. If not, the liability he will have for the Democrats going into an election year will sink many ships. Can you imagine the Congressional television ads?

    Updated: Rep. Anthony Weiner is in Trouble With the Wife – Weiner Admits to Posting Lewd Photos to Twitter

    *****Update*****

    Well, the truth is out on Weinergate.

    Embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner admitted to posting lewd photos of himself on Twitter at a Monday afternoon press conference.

    While addressing the media at the Sheraton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, Weiner made the following statement: “Last Friday night I tweeted a photograph of myself that I intended to send as direct message as part of a joke to a woman in Seattle. Once I realized I posted it to Twitter, I panicked, I  took it down and said that I had been hacked. I then continued with that story to stick to that story which was a hugely regrettable mistake.”

    “I am so sorry to have disrupted her life in this way. To be clear, the picture was of me and I sent it. I am deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife Huma and our family, and my constituents, my friends, supporters and staff,” Weiner said.

    In addition, the congressman said that “over the past few years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, email, and occasionally on the phone with women I have met online.”

    Well, if last week’s Twitter #Weinergate wasn’t enough now there is more:

    Weinergate Grows: Another Woman Provides Sex Messages From His Account

    Weinergate is getting bigger and bigger.

    Another woman has come forward to RadarOnline.com and Star magazine and provided a sexting exchange with embattled New York Representative Anthony Weiner.

    The woman says she has 200 sexually explicit messages from Weiner from a Facebook account the Democratic politician no longer uses.

    RadarOnline.com and Star magazine verified that the account where the messages originated does belong to Weiner (see below).

    He told the woman he had a “ridiculous bulge” in his shorts and asked if she “wanna see” it — almost three months before a photo of an erect penis in tight fitting briefs appeared in the pol’s Twitter stream.

    It’s a sensational twist to the scandal plaguing the embattled New York congressman. This new woman is middle-aged  and from Nevada.

    And, Andrew Breitbart has a photo of Rep. Weiner ala resigned GOP Rep. Chris Lee – shirtless.

    BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com have reported throughout the morning about the emergence of new details in the Weinergate saga, after a young woman came forward with new information that tends to undermine severely the theory that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was the victim of a “prank” or a “hack.”

    The following photograph, reminiscent of that posted by former Rep. Chris Lee (R-NY) on Craigslist earlier this year, was allegedly sent to the young woman on Friday, May 20, 2011 via a Yahoo! email address that she claims was an alternate alias for Rep. Weiner:….

    OOPS……

    Now, will the MSM cover this story?

    And, what will the good Congressman have to say to the wife?
