11. Oh, sure, they held him down, made him watch porn to get erect, took photos...

...e-mailed them to strangers, made him lie about it, and then made him do it agin.

He's such a victim in all of this.

Isn't funny how other proponents of health care reform, ones with actual legislative accomplishments (unlike Weiner), don't seem to have this problem?

Anyone still defending Carlos at this point is about as deluded as those Freepers who still think Palin is an election away from a landslide White house win.

And let's not kid ourselves - Weiner is not a progressive. He launched his career on race-baiting and attacking black politicians. He's a neo-Con on Israel-Palestine and makes the bizarre claim that the West Bank is "not occupied," his ego destroyed any attempt at immigration reform, and he joined Ari Fleischer and Mike Huckabee in piling on Helen Thomas and trying to destroy her career.

There's a reason none of the House Dems came to his defense - they saw him for what he was: a faux liberal who knew how to get on TV to advance his career, but who had zero interest in getting anything done.

He's the Dems' version of Michele Bachmann.

And let's not forget Weiner's biggest accomplishment - by fucking up with his scandal, he gave that prick Breitbart a much-needed win to recover from the Shirley Sherrod fiasco.

Carlos lied to progressives like Maddow and Kos and wanted them to go on defense for him. He had no problem having them risk their reputations so he could take more dick pics.

He's a POS and his downfall is well-deserved.
