It's just too funny. Democrat Anthony Weiner, the most liberal member of the US Congress, was caught sexting to a 21-year old college student, including the famous bulge picture. Now, it turns out it's been six girls over three years and rising Not enough that he was dumb enough to send "private" text messages to girls that he thought would keep it quiet - not enough that he offered his public relations people to advise a porn star how to lie to the authorities about the affair - he actually sent pornographic PUBLIC TWEETS and PUBLIC FACEBOOK messages. Now it came out yesterday that he has sent nude photos of his penis across the internet. Should this low-life resign from congress?
Weiner is a sleazeball. However, the cheating is more of a family matter (and, I do consider sexting to be cheating). However, what would be a higher concern (as far as his position in congress) is lying to the public for a week with the claim of his Twitter being hacked. Also, if it's shown he used official taxpayer funded resources for his "relationships", then he should probably resign.
Hmmm, never thought about that. You're right, he insisted that there was a crime when there was not. The news is now saying that Weiner's staff is running around Washington shopping their resumes.
If the Twitter or Facebook account of a U. S. Congressman is hacked, it would normally be reported to law enforcement for investigation. Yet, Weiner did not want to report it to the police, but stated that he's contacted an attorney to see if any civil or criminal avenues can be pursued, insinuating someone from the "right" did this as a prank. He's probably avoided serious legal issues by not knowingly filing a fake police report. Probably a good idea.
I think Wiener should stay in Congress. The media should create a new subgroup of certain members of both the house and senate and ensure that the entire public should be aware of all of their votes. It could be described as the sexual dirtball/I couldn't give a rats ass about my wife or being an appropriate example for kids bloc of politicians. The initial two members would be Senator David Vitter of Louisiana and Wiener. Vitter, after all, was cavorting with an escort service...ie paid hookers.....and somehow managed to not resign from office, and somehow got reelected. Both politicians are prime examples of married men who seem to do their thinking with their groins and don't seem to respect their wives, their families, or their positions. On every vote in congress in which they participate their votes should be parsed analysed and disseminated to the public for further scrutiny....all under the description of the human dirtball bloc. Its too bad this political bloc wasn't in effect during the continued period in office that ex Senator Ensign was in office. It would have been interesting to see how that morrally corrupt individual was voting in light of his actions which still might result in a criminal indictment. As to Wiener's wiener....I still haven't gone to UTube or anywhere else to check it out. OTOH in some way you gotta give the guy credit. He somehow survived both Junior High School and High School with a last name that should have made him the laughing stock of every teenager with which he came into contact. I dunno. must have made him tougher or stronger or maybe firmer.
All you can do nowadays is roll your eyes at all these public figures who get caught doing this crap. When I see it, I think I should be surprised but because it's happening so often, I'm not at all surprised. I feel so sorry for their families that have to go through the humiliation that they go through from being in the public eye.
FTR, having seen him in interviews beforehand, I thought he was a smarmy disingenuous weenie before he started sending out pics of his own. Just strikes me as one of those that lies cause he enjoys the fantasy that he's too smart to get caught. The pic stuff wasnt as bad as the content of the texts... his wife oughta stomp a big ole mudhole in his chest. He didn't do anything that's illegal most likely, just stone cold stupid. Somebody needs to tell the doofus what WWW stands for. Doubt if he's gonna get re-elected, but if he does then his constituents are getting exactly the representation they deserve. That boy must've taken too many headshots in dodgeball when he was a kid.
There's no age requirement for twitter, facebook, or any other social networking outlet. That said, sending his wiener across the internet is no different than doing so in public. I wonder what happens to people who display their privates to a group of second graders? That's pretty much what he's done. There's no telling how many underage kids saw these pictures. To those that are of age, its no different than showing off the bits in the work place. That would be sexual harassment. The reality is, he's pretty much a sexual predator and a pedo in any other medium. Wonder why he's not been arrested as such as of yet.
Must be at least 13 years of age on Facebook. I had a bunch of photographs of myself naked, one day I moved in to this new house, I had this photographs on top of the box as I was moving in -- it was terribly windy outside and the wind blew them away scattering it throughout the neighborhood, luckily for me my face was not identifiable and I moved a long like it never happened,..it's obvious I made that up, but what kind of a person would hand out naked picks of himself in public? The case here with Weiner is that it happened on the net with the intention of sending it to an adult, because he probably had one hand on his dick while he was twitting, he forgot the proper way to send his message and ended up in public. Weiner never displayed it to a bunch of second graders, got proof of that? Okay, who's to blame here? ~Weiner ~Media ~Parents If you answered Parents, you are correct for not installing software that protects children from the internet adult contents. Would you allow your kids in a strip joint? This shows you what people do in their umm, "private" moments. This guy should dismiss himself from congress not because he broadcast his privates to some adults, it's because he lied to the public, that in itself should be a cause for resignation. I had seen a couple of those images: 1. the bulging under ware, first time I couldn't make out on what the *uck I was looking at, the second time I got it. 2. He's erect private parts. It is clearly obvious that this man is very proud of his gifted parts that any woman that has seen or was intended for viewing those photographs must had appreciated what they've seen. I wont be surprise if he one day gets a movie porn contract titled, "Weiner does Washington".
And you prove this how? What's the verification process? The wind blowing and someone intentionally sending it or two completely different things. Got proof he did not? Even Wiener said that he may have sent images to underage people. Right now what he sent is out there and viewable by all. ~Weiner I don't know a single women out there that considers him either gifted, or appreciated having a sex offender expose himself to them. Personally I could care less what he does. If that's his thing, great. The problem is with how he has done it. In any other circumstance or medium he would be considered a sex offender. The reality is, whether he lied or not is not in question, nor is it part of the litmus test for being a good politician. They all lie. The problem and reason for resignation is the sexual offenses, advances, and distribution of images. Congressmen swear an oath to live up to a certain standard and uphold a certain code of conduct. Lying has never fallen under that set up guidelines.
You have a point, but the news media published all of the pics to blast out to the world, I wouldn't have seen them otherwise.
Looks like Weiner's days are numbered - just where he goes from his present job to the next is anyones guess.....good luck. The Democrats feel confident in holding his District.
Most likely a tell-all best selling book about Weinergate, with detailed notes about his experiences on Twitter and Facebook. Then, the whirlwind book tour and autograph signing... No, but seriously, another statement he made may not be true:
Wow, I never thought about it this way. This is absolutely true - it's no different than exposing himself in public. Something tells me that this isn't over - I wonder if there are even more revealing pictures and/or Weiner had a relationship that was not over the internet.
And its not been denied that he HAS been exposing himself to and sending pictures of himself to a 17 year old girl.
Have you got a proof that she is still a girl? There are 17 yo grandmothers in Africa. Anyway, if that is illegal arrest him and prosecute him, if not then fuck off. Who are you, his mother-in-law?
Leaving aside that it's improbable if not physically impossible for a 17 yr old to be a grandmother... he isn't representing the people of Africa, he's in the US, so he's subject to our laws with regards to the age of majority, interstate transmission of pornography, etc. Weiner and his antics are unimportant, just a sideshow. He's a dumb little weenie with no filter on his judgment, and he just did the nation a favor by torpedoing his own political prospects cause his credibility is shot. Aside from that, whatever ill befalls him for his actions is his own doing.
