Liar, Liar, Pants on Twitter
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY-9th) has had his horrible, horrible no good 9 day ordeal--ever since he screwed up and sent this infamous amazing bulge photo to everyone rather than only to the co-ed he was having cybersex with-- come to an end with a press conference, a major meal culpa, but no resignation, unlike former Rep. Chris Lee (R-NY-26th) who resigned for sending his photo with no shirt as a come on to young women. That's not unusual--a lot of Democrats have no shame and brazen it out, and even get re-elected, after very embarrassing activities come to light; former Gov. Elliot Spitzer, (D-NY) was an exception.
The worst Weiner can expect is that his district will cease to exist in 2012, as the blue state workers' paradise of New York lost so many people in the last decade that the state has to give up two congressional districts. The best he can expect is that no one will ever take him too seriously again, and that he will be the brunt of late night comic jokes for months and perhaps years to come.
Apparently Andrew Breitbart has a much, much more disturbing photo out there to publish but he's so far held off. I'll pass.
The formerly readable Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has once again embarrassed himself coming to the defense of lefties only he thinks are innocent victims. What Rep. Weiner took 9 days to admit most people, armed with only a few of the facts, knew instantly. Johnson seems to have a diminished sense of shame too, which is part of the reason he is no longer readable, except for schadenfreude at his expense.
