Go to hell in a hand basket Weiner...

[boston bean]

Serial sexter Anthony Weiner begged supporters to hang with him, telling them today “a rough time” in his marriage prompted him to keep sending sexually explicit words and pictures to women he’s never met.

In a letter released this afternoon, Weiner apologized but also seemed to shift blame for his pervy behavior to his marriage to former State Department aide Human Abedin.

“Sending these embarrassing messages to women online, whom I never met, was a personal failing that was hurtful to my wife and a part of my life that Huma and I have put behind us,” he wrote.

Blaming your wife for your creepy ass compulsion is just despicable, disgusting behavior.

Beat it Anthony.

[jessie04]

1. WOW...pent up anger ??

Give the guy a break...hes got a problem but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be a great mayor.

Vitter had sex with a hooker
Spitzer had sex with a hooker
Sanford had sex with someone not his wife.

Weiner sent pictures.

A little balance??

[yardwork]

3. I assume you mean that Weiner has some pent up anger and that is the cause of his behavior?

He certainly seems to have some anger against his wife. That isn't doing his recovery from his apparent sex addiction any good at all. Based on his comment, I'd guess that he is still sexting and will get caught again.

He should drop out and let another Democrat win.

[boston bean]

4. Wow he's in some good company there. This is suppose to make me feel differently?

[jessie04]

9. I thought it would.

His wife stands with him.... if she can, I can.

[boston bean]

12. His wife can do what she likes privately. He's running for public office

And this type of behavior is not conducive to public office.

[Little Star]

96. I would never trust her judgment. She thinks he's just great! Nice role modeling....

from both of them for their child. yeesh!

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

116. Jesus Christ,

look at your fucking avatar.

[Politicalboi]

133. LOL!

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

137. No shit, I mean COME ON! n/t

[Kali]

136. bwahahahaha

I am not commenting on this issue, but that was a hell of a ZING!

[opiate69]

164. !!!

[RedCappedBandit]

176. omg lol

[jessie04]

206. Really.

oh the irony.

[roguevalley]

155. who are these women? Are they people in subordinate positions to him? That's harassment

personally, I don't think new york needs this to continue through his mayoralty if he's elected. I am tired of men being pricks to women. This man is a prick. He needs help.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

166. And I'm tired of overly sensitive people obsessing over the personal lives of people they'll never

meet or know. I'm also sick and tired of throwing liberal public servants on the trash heap in order to fulfill the revenge fantasies of a bunch of self-righteous kooks and busybodies.

[roguevalley]

187. I am sure you stood up for vitters when he got caught in diapers with hookers then?

Or is that different?

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

189. It's different because, unlike Vitter, Sanford, Gingrich,

Anthony Weiner never campaigned on a platform of "family values". As long as you're not a hypocrite, and the actions are consensual and legal, then I don't give a fuck what you do.

[roguevalley]

198. Good for you. I am glad that some kinds of character flaws that apply to half of the

population which he sees as worthy of getting pictures of his dick and bullshit comparisons of his wife's genitalia etc don't bother you.

My problem isn't the moral stuff SO MUCH. I still think he's a shit for doing this and it draws a line about a fundamental contempt not just for himself but for 51 percent of the population .. .female... who haven't exactly been having a good time with men in power lately. I think he's nuts and his judgment can't be trusted. He's either a colossal dick for doing this AGAIN after the last time or a sick man. Neither version needs to be mayor of our largest city.

I personally think he is like them. I think you can't be pissed at one group on technicalities and let another sexual douche bag get off. He continued and mocked his wife. That is sick, completely disgusting about women and as a woman who has had a couple of years of men telling us we are shit, I'm not willing to give him a pass. He's either the stupidest meanest fucker alive or a sick man.

It appears that we shall disagree on this point which is fine. I don't intend to make a point of making my point 'win'. I am of the generation that saw better men in office. I am unwilling to swing this low and give him a pass when he didn't take the last one. Dumb ass guy.

[Mike Daniels]

199. What a frickin' dodge

The guy's a hypocrite just in light of his prior apology for his past behavior. Why should his wife forgiving him result in his potential ultimate employers (the public) not having a right to punish him for his creepy ass behavior.

[Mike Daniels]

197. Why wouldn't she?

Being the wife of the mayor of NYC has to be a more prominent career stepping stone than being an aide to Hillary pending any definitive POTUS announcement by Ms Clinton.

[DCBob]

6. And none of them deserve to hold public office again.

[jessie04]

18. I'm afraid to ask but did Clinton deserve not to hold public office ?

nt

[DCBob]

23. The things Weiner has done are far creepier and weirder than anything Bill Clinton did.

Plus the fact Clinton creds for outweigh any of the bad things he did. Weiner has no such creds in my opinion.

[jessie04]

30. C'mon...

Clinton ( my fav president with BO btw) got a bj.
Weiner just sent some pictures.

[DCBob]

35. Most people can relate to the Clinton situation..

A young attractive intern flirting with "the boss"... who can resist? Weiner on the other hand was actively sending lewd photos and texts to random strange women... its too weird and perverted for most people to accept.

[jessie04]

48. Ok...I give up.

nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

54. It wasn't random!

these were SEXTS....on cellphones!

[DCBob]

56. random.. meaning women he didnt really know.

duh.

[VanillaRhapsody]

58. they gave him their phone number!

these adult women accepted his advances.....duh is right! He didn't have sex with random women....he just sexted them pictures of his junk. Good grief.

[DCBob]

71. Sorry.. there's no comparison..

unless you consider this kind of behavior normal.

I done with this thread. Ciao.

[VanillaRhapsody]

74. Now a days...

its not unique at all.

[boston bean]

77. Yeah it is. I am positive that it would un unique with married couples.

[VanillaRhapsody]

83. Uh no....sorry to disappoint you...some married couples even sext each other

Heaven's to Betsy I know!

[boston bean]

86. Different. Not strangers on the net. Keep up now.

[VanillaRhapsody]

88. You must not be on the internet much...

what do you think all that mail in your email from strange young women is all about? Think they only talk to unmarried men?

[boston bean]

93. Huh? Are you saying my husband sends pics his erect penis to strangers on the Internet.

[VanillaRhapsody]

97. He might....

there is lots and lots and lots of sex on the Internet.....plenty of sites to facilitate such business.

[boston bean]

104. I'll ask him right now.

Are you married and if so are you engaging in sexting with strangers on the net? Sending pics of your erect penis...

[VanillaRhapsody]

106. Uh I wouldn't look at your messages here after making that statement!

you might be surprised what you will find!

[anneboleyn]

185. You keep claiming this about men and it is offensive to people

You don't know about anyone else's marriage on DU or the behavior of their male partners -- gay or straight -- on DU -- or what we are into sexually. We all, including women, may be up to things far, far "kinkier" than anything Mr. Vanilla Weiner was up to so to speak. I can guarantee that my husband is not sending pics of his junk to anonymous Internet accounts. I will not even begin to go into it. But not all men are "just like that" (in fact for many men, or women, this behavior might actually be a huge turnoff).

[VanillaRhapsody]

208. I am claiming it because .,....

and you cannot guarantee anything.....unless of course you have a key logger installed and are spying on his every move. Sorry its just the truth. Nor does he know everything you do either unless you tell him everything. No one knows anyone 100%. Sorry

And I didn't say ALL men....never claimed there weren't exceptions....did I?

[Whisp]

108. what do you mean, who can resist? A lot do resist.

the president should have some god damned self control and not a helpless little fuckwad when it comes to them womenz and their voodoo ways that make men lose their minds.

gawd.

[VanillaRhapsody]

117. You mean like John F. Kennedy?

[VanillaRhapsody]

118. They are not running for Pope you know....they are human beings....with all that goes into that.

flaws and all!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Judge not lest ye be judged!

[kwassa]

147. I judge Anthony Weiner as having weiner problems, and not suited for Mayor.

[VanillaRhapsody]

161. A LOT of men have "wiener" problems....you would be discounting an awful lot of them!

[Whisp]

158. Flaws and all!

[Mike Daniels]

201. They are asking for the right to lead the USA

I think most of the public expects a married POTUS to not open themselves up to blackmail due to a failure to keep their junk in their pants.

[VanillaRhapsody]

209. Yeah but he isn't and he didn't did he?

[Mike Daniels]

200. Actually, had the Lewinsky situation come apparent pre-election

Clinton may have very well lost the election just due to his already been given one chance re the Flowers affair. By the time Lewinsky became an issue Clinton was no longer at the mercy of the voters.

[VanillaRhapsody]

210. What?????

[Arctic Dave]

65. Don't forget about the cigar thingy.

They always forget about the cigar thingy.

[VanillaRhapsody]

90. the shock the horror.....men have penii!

[Arctic Dave]

94. and da weminz have vajayjays!!!!

ohz noes!!11111

[VanillaRhapsody]

99. Its a catastrophe I suwannie!

[VanillaRhapsody]

115. What????

Now that is almost racist....

[Politicalboi]

141. I don't think Bill Clinton would send pictures

IMO there's something wrong with this man. When is it going to be exposure in public, or affair. He is a lewd man who doesn't deserve a second chance.

I look at this as a sickness, not just a picture of his dick.

[VanillaRhapsody]

182. Bill clinton put a cigar in a girls HooHa!

Uh yeah....Bill woulda sent a picture...

[VanillaRhapsody]

183. and it WASN'T in public..it was SEXTING...

thats sending private messages..it wasnt on Facebook!

[Llewlladdwr]

76. In my opinion, no he did not.

If you'll cheat on your spouse you'll betray anyone or anything. I don't find that a plus in an elected official.

[ZRT2209]

8. forgive the pun, but I find it hard to believe he's the best Dem we can field for this office

[olddots]

19. paid for by the Anthony Weiner for Mayor fund and exebishionalists everywhere

[Trajan]

70. Geez ... where do you people come from?

This fellas is a major major creep .... his behavior, while not murderous, is still despicable ...

I, as a lifetime Liberal and Democrat, do NOT want to be associated with such a lame ass putz, ever ...

Is this the best that NYC can produce? ... SURELY, in that big, beautiful, intelligent city, another smart and dynamic Democrat can be found to represent Democrats in that wonderful metropolis ... right?

I swear ... stuff like this brings out the creeps ... DUers who reveal a little took much of themselves ... but I thank you for your honesty, no matter how repugnant the cause ...

[jessie04]

84. Gee...I guess I'm a "creep" now.

I will try not to have an opinion different than yours in the future.

My apology.

[Trajan]

92. If your different opinion includes defending ill mannered cads like this ..

Then yeah .. proudly wear that creep badge ... you will have earned it ...

[jessie04]

207. " cads" ??? Bwahahaha

Who the hell uses that word after 1950 or so ?

enjoy.

[Bake]

142. And all four exhibited extremely poor judgment.

Frankly, I think it is the poor judgment that disqualifies them from office. Sanford not only had an affair but spent state funds to finance his trysts. He should be in jail, not in Congress.

Weiner continued his peccadillo AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT the first time! Good judgment? Not just no but HELL NO! Did he think it wouldn't come out that he was still doing it? If so, he's an IDIOT who is unfit for office. If not, why didn't he think of that???

Just sayin'.

Bake

[yardwork]

2. His comment to me indicates that he is not in a program of recovery. His addiction is not behind him

I was prepared to give Weiner the benefit of the doubt. It sounds like he has some kind of sex addiction problem, and his earlier statements seemed to indicate that he was in a program of recovery. If he is, he just screwed up the first step. Blaming other people for our addictions is part of the disease.

An alcoholic who blames his drinking on "a rough time" in his marriage is not taking responsibility for his addiction.

Weiner blames his obsessive sexting on problems in his marriage. He's still sexting. He hasn't put this behind and won't be able to do so until he honestly admits his problem to himself and takes responsibility for himself.

He should drop out of the race and focus on recovery.

[boston bean]

7. He very obviously has some problem, compulsive, uncaring of possible consequences.

He really does need some help.

And I don't know how his wife can remain with him, I can't help but be a bit judgmental, although I try to understand how the dynamics play out. You know alanon. She need some help like that, possibly.

[bigwillq]

10. This is what I believe.

He should concentrate on his recovery. We can find someone else.

[Whisp]

5. The headline explains it a bit better.

I couldn't quite get how he was blaming his wife, but yeh, he went there - the pukemaster little boney shit.

Weiner blames latest XXX online scandal on stress with Huma caused by pre-resignation sexting, begs voters for support in open letter

[boston bean]

11. You didn't like my headline? lol

I wasn't able to fit the whole thing in the subject line.

[Whisp]

21. Yours was very likeable!

heh.

I won't be having wieners and beans for a while, let me tell ya. And I love wieners and beans.

[boston bean]

43. I just grilled up some Nathan's weiners for me teenage son after got off work.

Don't ask what I was thinking.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

13. Who fucking cares?

As long as he is able to perform his job, his personal life shouldn't matter at all. Maybe people like you should focus on leading your own pathetic lives and stop worrying about what other consenting adults do with theirs.

So fucking sick and tired of people using this incident to go on a morality crusade.

[boston bean]

14. lol

You seem to care quite a bit.

[Whisp]

22. a regular care bear. n/t

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

25. Because I replied to your hysterical, rambling OP?

Here's a free tip. The things you post on a PUBLIC message board are viewable to the PUBLIC. If you don't want anonymous people to comment on threads you start, then I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. Furthermore, the legal activities consenting adults take part in with other consenting adults are NONE of your damn business. Society would improve a great deal if you (and people like you) would just learn to mind your own fucking business, and accept the fact that 1) people enjoy sex, and 2) the habits and kinks of elected officials have no correlation with their job performance.

[boston bean]

29. Tell it to Weiner, will ya. Jeepers creepers, cognitve dissonance much?

[VanillaRhapsody]

42. Weiner "sexted" hence it wasn't on a "public" forum....cognitive dissonance much?

[boston bean]

45. He didn't tweet his dong to all his twitter followers?

[emulatorloo]

134. Sounds like more "Murdoch Facts" to me.

[boston bean]

149. you are not well informed.

[emulatorloo]

160. Well inform me then with credible sources that show he sent dick pics to all of his twitter follower

Followers.

Breitbart, Fox News or any other Rupert Murdoch operations do not count. Nor does "The Dirty" website.

[boston bean]

165. Here you go

[emulatorloo]

175. Well that sucks, what a dumbass. Not a cock photo though.

I understand your drive to make it more juicy, as you love the New York Post so.

[VanillaRhapsody]

39. +1000

[boston bean]

40. -10000

[VanillaRhapsody]

44. I think everyone should just go do some sexting....

they will all feel better!

[boston bean]

47. Not with random dudes on the net, no thanks.

[VanillaRhapsody]

49. it wasnt RANDOM!

get your facts straight....

[boston bean]

50. I think you ought to. Yes he did. He knew none of these women.

And his wife doesn't like what he's done.

[VanillaRhapsody]

51. they were consenting adults...TEXTING sex you know on a cell phone..it was not random!

His wife has forgiven him AND it is none of our business...

[boston bean]

57. When he is running for public office after resigning and then does the same thing again.

He doesn't get to decide whether it's relevant or not, neither does his wife and neither do you.

[VanillaRhapsody]

62. its not AGAIN....it was a continuation....

he said there would be more coming out....and that some is true and some isn't. His wife has also since forgiving him. It is none of our business. Perhaps she allowed sexting....perhaps she does it herself? You don't know what their marriage is about.....

[boston bean]

66. No! This latest round happened last July. Well after he went to sex addiction rehab.

Almost a full year after his wife accepted his apologies and believed him. After she had his baby. Face it the guy has real issues.. None that would make me think he was very trustworthy. Or suitable for public office.

[VanillaRhapsody]

69. Last year....maybe he already did....how do you know....but his wife has accepted it

why can't you? She seems to trust him....I accept her assessment before yours.

[boston bean]

82. He blames her for his second helping. That's sick!

[VanillaRhapsody]

85. where?

I have never heard him blame her.....quotes please!

[boston bean]

89. Read the article I linked to. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

91. I most certainly did.....please explain where HE blamed her!

or drop it...

[boston bean]

100. You don't get to order me around. So please stop that.

"a rough time in his marriage" means he was on the outs with his wife and that is why he took a second helping. Poor Anthony! I feel so bad for him.

[VanillaRhapsody]

101. You dont get to spew bullshit....so put up or shut up!

[boston bean]

107. Why are you so angry? Are you mad some woman doesn't see it your way?

[VanillaRhapsody]

109. Not angry at all....enjoying myself actually

guess what I am doing right now beanie?

[boston bean]

112. I have no idea?

[VanillaRhapsody]

121. I am guessing you wouldn't like it!

[boston bean]

125. Is that some sort of threat?

[VanillaRhapsody]

126. threat? Wow.....you need to do some sexting right away!

LOL

[VanillaRhapsody]

103. You don't know what he means by that.....doesn't mean he blamed her!

thats hyperbolic to the nth degree!

[boston bean]

110. .

[emulatorloo]

119. TOTAL BULLSHIT. You are posting MURDOCH SPIN as fact

which is never a good idea

[boston bean]

122. It was his written statement.

[VanillaRhapsody]

124. Please repeat the exact quote where he blames her...

[boston bean]

127. Read it yourself. Hell you didn't even know it was his written statement.

[VanillaRhapsody]

128. put up or shut up...

you cannot post it....because it is utter bullshit!

[boston bean]

130. You are becoming quite aggressive. I have written it to you once already.

[VanillaRhapsody]

131. demanding you back up your bullshit is aggressive?

Oh and is THAT a threat?

[boston bean]

132. Not sure. But I've already complied with your demand once.

[VanillaRhapsody]

135. NO you have NOT

What you are saying is bullshit....pure unadulterated bullshit...you cannot reproduce an exact quote.....PERIOD

[boston bean]

140. Yes I have!

[VanillaRhapsody]

143. NO you didn't....just saying so doesn't make it a fact.

its bullshit.

[boston bean]

148. Yes I did.

[VanillaRhapsody]

151. No you didn't and saying that doesnt make it so...

reproduce it..or stop saying bullshit.

[boston bean]

152. Yes I did.

[VanillaRhapsody]

153. you know what I hate more than a person that "sexts"

someone that spreads bullshit!

[emulatorloo]

139. Then show me the quote where he "blames his wife"

All you provided as support was Murdoch Spin.

MURDOCH SPIN: In a letter released this afternoon, Weiner apologized but also seemed to shift blame for his pervy behavior to his marriage to former State Department aide Human Abedin.

Vs QUOTE

“Sending these embarrassing messages to women online, whom I never met, was a personal failing that was hurtful to my wife and a part of my life that Huma and I have put behind us,” he wrote.

Quote says he personally failed and hurt his wife. There is no " shifting blame to his marriage" in that quote other than in the minds of Murdoch's fact free minions.

[kwassa]

154. As Democrats, it is our damn business.

We need to have good responsible candidates running for office.

It is far more about his extremely poor judgment and inability to control his compulsions. Very poor qualities for someone aspiring to hold an important office.

[VanillaRhapsody]

159. No what people do with thier sex life is none of our business...

remember that is what we tell Republicans when they talk about how they hate Gay people!

Unless he is a pedophile or having sex with animals....I don't care what he does.

[kwassa]

167. If his sex life reveals very bad judgment on his part, then it is our business.

You missed that part of my previous post. This is a character issue, as is the compulsion he can't control. This makes him unsuitable for office.

[VanillaRhapsody]

168. thats exactly what some previously would have said about Gay people too!

[kwassa]

170. I would expect good gay candidates to have personal self-control as well.

Your analogy makes no sense.

[VanillaRhapsody]

178. Saying this is what some people have said about them in the past....and that was why they wouldn't

vote for them for those exact same reasons...I am saying we are not the "Family Values" party....we are not supposed to care what consenting adults do. We shouldnt care if they are monogamous or not...it is NOT our business. Or did we not learn anything from the Clinton years?

[kwassa]

186. It is not about the sex; it is about Weiner's poor judgment and lack of personal self-control.

This is a character flaw. A very big character flaw.

[VanillaRhapsody]

190. How? He never even had actual sex....

even his wife is over it. Do you know how many men have such a character flaw? Bill Clinton? JFK come to mind....and many many many men have made similar "judgements" Even Jimmy Carter admitted lust in his heart for god sakes!

[kwassa]

192. This is a different character flaw, and a different lack of judgment.

He has a compulsion he can't control. He lies about it, and in fact may be lying now about it.

He knows how damaging this is to his reputation, and he couldn't stop doing it. Reputation is gone.

[VanillaRhapsody]

193. How so? They didn't lie about their pecadillos? You think other men haven't made THAT kinda mistake?

So if a woman gets called a whore for having multiple partners....we abhor that! We think that is a disgrace to judge her by her sex life...BUT if a guy has sent some lude texts to women who were having online sexual chats with the him....he is unfit for office because he lies about it? I don't understand that...

[VanillaRhapsody]

194. He lied BECAUSE some people were going to judge him harshly simply because he has unique sexual

proclivities....

I have heard that word "reputation" bandied about when women's sex lives are discusssed...

Didn't any of you all live through the 70's around here?

[kwassa]

203. He lied because he was still sending sexual pictures and texts.

Which means he couldn't stop. He'd already been busted.

[VanillaRhapsody]

204. because he doesn't want to be judged EXACTLY how he is being?

Damned if he did damned if he didnt,

I cannot figure out how WE became the party of prudes!

[boston bean]

171. That is a false comparison.

[VanillaRhapsody]

180. No its not....

what some consider an "ick factor" should not come into the equation. Should everyone lose a job because some find their sex life "icky" is a doctor qualified if he cheats on his wife? Isn't his judgement questionable too? And a life may even depend on it! Do we really want to go down THAT road?

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

53. Or just accept the fact that politicians are human like everyone else

and are prone to mistakes and personal shortcomings. He's not running for the office of "Every woman's husband", he's running for mayor of NYC, and since "Boston Bean" isn't married to him, what the fuck does any of this matter?

Some people get pissed off when they learn that they can't control other adults.

[VanillaRhapsody]

55. Some people get pissed off that OTHER people have an active sex life too!

[boston bean]

60. Oh yeah I'm ANGRY that anthony Weiner gets more pixel sex than me.. lol

[VanillaRhapsody]

63. Evidently!

[boston bean]

68. In your own mind maybe. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

72. Apparently in yours...

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

61. That's also true! n/t

[Whisp]

138. really, you call what Wiener did an 'active sex life'?

the guy sounds like a 13 year old moron, I bet he is a total dud in a real bed so he has to long distance it.

pressing your dick against a monitor = active sex life.

[VanillaRhapsody]

156. You think grown men do not do this?

have you seen the Internet lately?

[boston bean]

59. Most married men are sexting strangers? Hell, even I have more faith in men than you. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

64. Didn't say most did I?

but sexting is hardly unusual these days...

[boston bean]

67. Are you married?

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

78. Yes, many married men do.

And guess what? It's none of your fucking business! Only an authoritarian of the highest order thinks what legal actions consenting adults take part in are any of their concern.

[boston bean]

81. Oh yeah and their wives are so grateful. nt

[BlueStater]

95. Why do you even care? How does this remotely affect your life?

The only people this affects is Weiner and his wife. That's it. The obsession over this is beyond ridiculous.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

102. Oh so this is what it's all about.

Judging by this post, and the other one directly above it, it's safe to conclude that you're really just a bitter divorcee. Well, I'm sorry your marriage didn't work out, I'm sorry your husband wasn't faithful. Despite the hardships you've endured, I'm not willing to throw another good politician overboard because you think he deserves to be punished for being human.

[Whisp]

146. Wiener a good politician? What exactly did he accomplish

besides yelling at the Pugs once in a while. Really, he's a nothing doer, he is a Nothing. If not for his small peckerhead he would disappear into the abyss of Nothing.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

157. Not as much as the always faithful, and monogamous gentleman in your avatar!

[Whisp]

163. That is correct.

And it's a shame that that is somehow shameful - to be loyal and not be a stinkin' cheater.

Pathetic upside down world.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

173. And if the person who is faithful is totally ineffective

at his/her job, especially when that job consists of improving the lives of people they represent, then I don't care how great of a husband and father they are. Results matter, home life doesn't. I'll take a total prick who gets shit done over a spineless father of the year candidate every day of the fucking week.

177. And you would be wrong yet again.

Too bad you don't know better, but that's not my problem. It's someone(s) elses.

[boston bean]

169. Well that was nasty. And wrong, but who could expect something more..

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Before he resigned his congressional seat he was sexting from his OFFICE.

Is that considered part of his job? Sexting? Or was he only doing it on his "break time"?

[VanillaRhapsody]

32. You seem to think that's a first...

[cherokeeprogressive]

36. I have no idea... point me to a story about another congresscritter sexting from his office.

First or not, I don't think it's appropriate behavior and think it's cause for dismissal whether in the private sector or public office.

[VanillaRhapsody]

38. Bill Clinton did some stogie poking from HIS office....

[VanillaRhapsody]

41. If its on HIS own personal equipment...during his breaks....what business is it of ours?

[boston bean]

73. Did you take umbrage with your own post?

[VanillaRhapsody]

75. Umbrage to what????

[boston bean]

79. Your own post. Seemed you may have been angry with yourself.

[VanillaRhapsody]

87. Uh no....

[olddots]

27. I'm sick of people going on a morality crusade about morality crusades

[kwassa]

162. Ironic, isn't it? Rather authoritarian, too.

[Trajan]

80. Fuck that ...

Democrats don't need idiots like that schmuck to represent them in any form or fashion ...

It's not about morality .. it's about judgement, or the lack of it in the extreme ...

Weiner and his supporters can go to hell ... He is a proven piece of shit, and any supporters who remain need to get their heads examined ...

[VanillaRhapsody]

123. so are you going to condemn every person that ever sent nekkid pictures to anyone?

cause thats alot of people these days...

[Wednesdays]

15. Yeah, beat it.

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. but you wanna be bad?

16. He's apparently pretty quick on the trigger, too

Anthony Weiner Prematurely Ejaculated During Phone Sex: Nik Richie (VIDEO)

24. Preemie Wiener, how adorable. n/t

28. I like one of the comments: "Maybe he should have chosen the name Speedy Gonzales." n/t

184. Or Quick Draw McGraw nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

46. Now that is the first thing said that makes me feel sorry for Huma if true!

[boston bean]

52. Of course it would be. Turns out he's a premature ejaculator.

That is the one thing you would find to be compassionate to his wife about. Speaks volumes.

[anneboleyn]

188. This actually made my husband laugh...

Weiner's tastes are so very juvenile (I am paraphrasing)...my husband thought the sad Weiner/Carlos Danger phone sex -- like a teenager dialing 900 numbers --was just very, well, limited. Especially for a man of his age.

[matthews]

191. What makes me curious is how stupid was this woman? I mean, she

never figured it out? She thought she was in love? After all that everybody knew about the guy the first time, and after six months of never meeting up in person, and after six month of premature ejaculations over the telephone, that woman thought there was a serious relationship there?

That's so crazy.

[amuse bouche]

17. If Anthony had an addiction

to drugs, alcohol or actual sex, he would get a lot more support

This comes across as dumb High School stuff

To me it's just silly and annoying

[boston bean]

26. Poor Anthony. I have a small bit of compassion for him, but he obviously doesn't for his wife. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

31. When did he blame it on her?

[emulatorloo]

114. DU'ers are big on making shit up

But I am guessing you are pretty aware of that by now, lol. (Have seen some of the BS thrown your way recently.

[VanillaRhapsody]

120. Yes they certainly are....starting to wonder what happened to the Democratic wing

of Democratic Underground!

She really needs to be rid of that asshat -- just as the rest of us do.

129. (NSFW) If I had a nickel for every human sexual peccadillo and twisted need caused by

puritanical sky daddy religions and their institutionalized horror of sex I'd pay for free health care for everyone in the world for the rest of their lives.

A lot of the people complaining about Weiner's weirdness are hypocrites who have far more bizarre fantasies that they would like to fulfill in real time.

I have been sexually uninhibited, open, and promiscuous my entire life. I was a member of a working rock band for a long time. I try not to be a hypocrite, I've made my share of mistakes in relationships like anyone else. And you know what? I know for absolute 100% sure, from long and frequent experience, that Weiner's weirdness is pretty tame compared to a lot of other people's "weirdness". Believe it.

It's the dishonesty that is troubling to me.

That prim little nurse next door? Nothing gets her off more than peeing on her boyfriend while riding him like a pony in the bathtub.

The ex-marine across the street? He fantasizes about your husband fucking him in the ass while his wife watches and masturbates

You, or your sister, or best friend, maybe really gets off on doing it while being tied up and blindfolded.

Or whatever color you like.

Tony the Congressman gets off on sending naughty pictures to nubile young women. The republican congressman or senator whatshisname gets off sucking strange through a glory hole in a bathroom stall in an airport. Bill the President likes to penetrate his young female aide with a fine havana before she blows him. Billy boy the gambling secretary of education religious hypocrite pays his dominatrix to whip his ass black and blue while making him grovel and telling him what a worthless piece of shit he is. etc. on and on and on'...

It's the secrecy, dishonesty, and guilt involved that is the real issue here. If a person is going to be in a committed relationship with someone,then they need to be honest with them about their sexuality and their fantasies and needs.

If Anthony felt he could not be honest with his wife about his needs and fantasies, then what's the fucking point of being with her? Isn't this the same way with everyone? What's the point of being in a relationship if you're going to live a lie and hurt yourself and others by it?

People really need to be honest with themselves and their significant others, or they are going to inevitably cause a painful nasty mess of misery for someone somewhere down the road, including themselves.

It's the secrecy, dishonesty, and hypocrisy that causes and makes sex and relationships to be so ugly and painful for so many people, and nothing is going to even begin to change unless/until society somehow miraculously gets real about sex.

Some phony hypocritical prude here may alert on this post and get it hidden, but it would be just trying to hide the truth, and pretty much everybody here damn well knows it.

[VanillaRhapsody]

150. I agree with you BUT!

it's their marriage and we don't know what THEIR rules of engagement are? They could both be sexting for all we know....perhaps she knew and looked the other way. He didn't actually have sex with anyone....perhaps she didn't consider that cheating...We don't know what the situation is. All we know is the person that knows him best has said she forgives him......

[Zorra]

205. I dunno.

Why apologize, and why forgive, if there's nothing to apologize for, and nothing to forgive?

Whatever, I wish them much peace, love, and much happiness.
