They Told Me That If I Voted Republican That The Government Would Try To Destroy The Arts. . .

And they were right.



When art is offensive to leftists sensibilities, it's gotta be censored. When it offends a conservative? Suck it up, wingnut.

Weinergate: Weiner Fesses Up

He admitted to sending the lewd picture on Twitter. No shocker there. He even gave a public apology to Andrew Breitbart, which hurt his ego to no end, I'd wager.

The skeevy part is this video from ABC that The Other McCain put up. He did this interview just a day or two before admitting he was lying about the entire #Weinergate saga.

Watching this and the only thing going through my mind is this guy is a douchebag of a magnificent proportions.

Weinergate: Weiner's Story So Full Of Holes Even His Water Carriers In Congress Are Dropping The Buckets

Yeah, the headline is a mixed metaphor but the double entendres are getting old. Even for someone like me who is known to beat a horse to death and then some with a joke.

Steny Hoyer, however, is now catching up with the story so it's all new to him.

Rep. Anthony Weiner's onetime Democrat allies were quick to abandon the lawmaker yesterday, just hours after he admitted it certainly could be his bulging crotch shot that was sent to a cute co-ed from his Twitter account.

Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Queens) had a big smile on his face when he greeted a Post reporter yesterday by saying he was doing "better than Anthony."

Ackerman also admitted, "It's a little strange" that Weiner said he can't be sure it isn't his manhood in the photo.

"He's handling it -- I hope," House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told The Post, adding he didn't know "what's going on" with Weiner.

As for Weiner's congressional seat, a Democratic source pointed out the surprisingly strong 41.5 percent of the vote that Republican challenger Bob Turner got against Weiner in the 2010 House election.

"Something like this could boost a Weiner opponent by 7 percentage points and, based on his last race, that could make it a serious race," the source said.

Weiner has yet to admit it yet but it's plain as day that everyone knows that it was him in the picture. It's the obvious elephant in the room.

Weinergate: Weiner Pulls Out. . .

. . . Of the state Democratic convention in Wisconsin where he was scheduled to speak.

"He decided to spend the weekend begging and pleading with his wife to stand by his side at the inevitable news conference" said state chair Mike Tate.

I may have played with that quote a little. But I think most people were able to see between the lines. Thanks to Lance for the heads up.

My hope for this is that it will dog him for the rest of his career. That when someone hears Anthony Weiner, they will think of a dick pic going out on Twitter. The same way if someone hears the name Richard Gere, they think, "Gerbil".

By the way: Is this really the actions of an innocent person? He was violated on a virtual level but that's just a 'Prank'. No need to press charges against the person who tried to defame his reputation.

But when a member of the press stops by for a comment for his constituents, the cops are called.

Right.

Weinergate: Brett Favre And Anthony Weiner In A Tale Of Two Pics

As a quarterback in high school and in college, Brett Favre didn't lack in attention from the opposite sex. In fact, I'm pretty sure he didn't have to do much to get a girlfriend. Just be the star player on the team. No need to really develop a love language or even personality. His entire game plan has been him mumbling, "Hey, I'm Brett Favre."

So when he was turned down by a very attractive sideline reporter, his game was thrown and he had to resort to Plan B. Which because Plan A worked so well, Plan B was still to beg and plead with the girl like when he was 14 and just discovering girls. And if that wouldn't impress them the miracle of texting pictures might. And pretty much everyone knows the rest of that story.

Which brings us to Anthony Weiner. Obviously he wasn't a high school jock.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that with the last name of 'Weiner' and wearing that turtleneck in a yearbook picture lent itself to no end of ridicule at Weiner's expense. Some might even say that Weiner has a chip on his shoulder from it still.

Anyway, instead of sports, Weiner sought out a very different path in life. That of politics and power. In fact, if it wasn't for his political connections, he wouldn't have married a woman who was way out of his league.

Power is seductive. Especially someone who was considered to be in a 'safe' seat like his. In New York city where-- and I say this with certitude-- has a lifetime job should he want it, power corrupts when there is no need for a check or balance in the form of someone running against you.

Then couple that with his history of chasing women, his habit of following good looking babes on Twitter, would it be that much of a stretch of the imagination for him to have been sexting Gennette Nicole Cordova and accidentally send a picture of his crotch public instead of sending it private?

It can be said that both Favre and Weiner have had 'success' with the ladies. Just not when they need to communicating with them.
