Rep. Anthony Weiner encouraged a porn star to lie about their on-line relationship and offered her the help of his public relations team, according to a report on Tuesday. Weiner sent emails to former X-rated performer Ginger Lee – to whom he’d previously acknowledged sending innocuous messages via Twitter – coaching her to deny that they had been communicating, reported TMZ, which obtained the messages and says the two had exchanged “scores of sexual emails over a long period of time.” “The key is to have a short, thought out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer...

You may have seen this before, but the video is priceless.... and timeless. Obama is proposing a toast to Queen Elizabeth II during this week's state dinner at Buckingham Palace. He prattles on for about 2:45 then begins to get serious about the toast. However, when he mentions her by title, the band strikes up the UK National Anthem, as they should. All attendees immeditely stand "at attention," troops salute, etc. But Numbnuts prattles on and on as the band is playing "God Save The Queen," and no one else picks up their wine glass. Camilla and Phillip can hardly...

~ EXCERPT ~ ~ snip ~ President Barack Obama's job approval rating is down to 42%, with a decline in approval from Democrats the leading factor. The latest Zogby Interactive poll of 4,518 likely voters conducted from August 28-31 found 48% disapprove and 42% approve of the job Obama is doing. The poll found 75% of Democrats approve of Obama's performance, a drop of 13 points among Democrats from an interactive poll done July 21-24 of this year. That same poll found 48% of all likely voters approving of Obama's job performance, and 49% disapproving. ~snip~ In the time between...

London, August 22 : U.S. President Barack Obama left the national media struggling to get the meaning of his newest catchphrase 'wee weed up', which he uttered at a healthcare forum with Democratic party activists in Washington on Friday. He spokes these words while comparing his recent negative press coverage with similarly dire predictions made during his run for President. “There’s something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up. I don’t know what it is. But that’s what happens,” Times Online quoted him as having said.

So what did the president mean when he said this week that everyone's getting all "wee-weed up'' in Washington? "It's a phrase I use,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today, hesitating at his press briefing to offer a physical demonstration of the phraseology. "Let's do this in a way that's family friendly,'' Gibbs said. "I think 'wee-weed up' is when people get all nervous for no particular reason.... "August of 2008, everybody was nervous about whether the entire presidential campaign was slipping out from the hands of the president,'' Gibbs said, turning the page to this August, in...

Robert Gibbs makes up what he thinks the phrase might mean, then compares it to bed wetting....

President Barack Obama speaks during the Organizing for America National... WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama puzzled people when he said Washington "gets all wee-weed up." The White House offered a translation Friday: Folks are wetting the bed over the health care debate. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked during his daily on-camera briefing what Obama meant on Thursday when he decried the way his push for an ambitious health care overhaul had been played in the media. "There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up," Obama told an audience at...

President Barack Obama puzzled people when he said Washington "gets all wee-weed up." The White House offered a translation Friday: Folks are wetting the bed over the healthcare debate. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked during his daily on-camera briefing what Obama meant on Thursday when he decried the way his push for an ambitious healthcare overhaul had been played in the media. "There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up," Obama told an audience at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. "I don't know what it is. But that's what happens."...

Evidently Gibbs uses the term too, which makes this the political equivalent of one of those languages twins speak that no one else can understand. I thought it meant “screwed up.” E.g., “That deficit bombshell has left the future of ObamaCare thoroughly wee-wee’d up.” Or “The fact that a plurality now believes their taxes will be a lot higher under Obama is wee-weeing his chances at reelection.” Seems I’m wrong, though. Per Gibbs, it’s more like accusing someone of wetting their pants due to baseless pessimism. Two years ago in August the punditocracy thought he was going to lose the...

With dignity and respect, we are not "wee-weed up." By: Julie Mason Examiner White House Correspondent08/21/09 2:19 PM EDT Gibbs: "I don't know if I should do that from the podium."  (AP)President Obama yesterday used an intriguing rhetorical construct in discussing health care reform with members of Organizing for America."There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up," he said. "I don't know what it is. But that's what happens."Maybe it's because a bunch of us are having weird, unexpected Crawford withdrawal. Others just hate the newsless August Washington echo-chamber, where editors still want...

By now, many of you have seen this video. Barack Obama claiming Washingtonians get too "wee-wee'd up" in August. (Video). Your first reaction probably was the same as mine. WTF are you talking about Barry? WTF do you mean? Well. The UN says the word is Nigerian. It means cannabis. Nice work pothead. Great example for our youth. Cannabis In Nigeria cannabis is known by various names including "pot", "igbo", "wee wee", "marijuana", "ganja" and "Morocco". The active ingredient in all of these is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The mode of consumption in Nigeria is by smoking the prepared leaves and flowering...

As an attempt to concentrate America's minds on the greater goal, it could have gone better. During his remarks at a national health care forum, the president came out with this: "There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up. I don't know what it is. But that's what happens." He wasn't the only one who was confused. Jimmie Bise gave it to him straight: “Really, Mr. President? Wee-weed? What in the blue hells does that mean?” Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin was wracking her brains: “Is this some Chicago phrase I don’t know about? Is...

Robert Gibbs says "wee weed up" means when "people get overly nervous over something that still has a long way to go." He added "bed wetting" would be the more "consumer friendly term."

I’m madder than a three-legged dog at a fire hydrant! All through that damn election, they told us Obama was the greatest speaker since Martin Luther King. But yesterday he sounded more like Mr. Rogers! Yesterday, the Teleprompter Kid was trying to explain why his whole Death Panel Medicine Plan was going down the toilet. He said: “There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up!” I guess that’s how they teach you to talk at those fancy colleges up north! Here’s some other stuff Obama said yesterday that didn’t get reported:...

Mired in the summer of his discontent, President Obama on Thursday coined a new phrase for the absurdity of a Washington August, when lawmakers and lobbyists vacation outside the Beltway but pollsters and chatterers go right on polling and chattering. "There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up," the world's most powerful man observed. "I don't know what it is, but that's what happens." So, it made perfect sense that, during wee wee'd Washington's "silly season," the president took to the conservative radio airwaves to declare that he wants a bipartisan fix for...

Here is video of President Obama today talking to his "Organizing for America" ground troops where he likened his present circumstances to where he was a year ago when he said everyone was "all wee weed up" about Gov. Sarah Palin being nominated for the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination. He said "Everyone was saying Obama has lost his mojo. Remember that?" The clear implication is that Obama believes he is going to prevail on getting the Government Health Care Bill that he wants, and will emerge victorious as he did in the election last year. I don't think Obama grasps that...
