No wonder he gets along with the Klintons so well.

Dana Perino on Hannity re: Anthony Weiner - "Think about his staff".

Not sure that was all that appropriate Dana! LOL. I'm sure she was speaking about the people in his office. But Dana is a little slow.

If Salon is writing like this it means even the left wants Weiner gone.
To: Nachum
When a liberal Democrat from NY looses the support of Salon...well, it looks bad careerwise. Real bad. Like he has lost all direction, his support gone south, his political future has gone limp, his stock deflated...
This may be my last double entendre on WeinerGate (until I come up with my next ones).

A Clintonian plurality win.
How appropriate!
To: SoldierDad
He probably thinks of it as a staff....... but I'll bet it is actually more of a wiener.
Fool should have changed his name years ago.

(for anyone who doesn’t want to go to Salon:) Whoa, I did not know that. He won his first congressional race by distributing an “anonymous” flyer in crown heights right after the riots, insinuating closeness between his opponent and dinkins and j. Jackson. Sleazy start and sleazy end to his political career.

This is why Weiner loved Obama so much. Obama plus his consigliere scum-bg Axelrod got two opposing candidates divorce recodes unsealed. Happened in scum-bg Obama’s Senate race

sleazy end to his political career. not even close
look at Ted Kennedy's rebound
BJ Clinton is the most loved pol by Democrats
Elliot Spitzer has already had almost all sin cleansed
Five years from now Weenie and Johnboy Edwards will be major domos in the Democrat party.
They embody what Democrats love.

What happened to the DEMOCRAP'S TRENT LOTT STANDARD?
Oh, that's correct, it only applies to REPUBLICANS!
To: Nachum
Seven years after that, he parlayed his Council spot into a seat in Congress, and you know the story from there. Do we?
Weiner's opportunity to run for the House came about because Chuck Schumer, the district's Representative, ran against the incumbant Senator, Al D'Amato.
D'Amato had made some verbal gaffes during the years, one being using a mock Japanese accent when talking about OJ trial judge Lance Ito on the Don Imus radio show in 1995. In 1998 during his reelection campaign, D'Amato called candidate Chuck Schumer a "putzhead." Schumer used the word "putz" to charge D'Amato with being racially insensitive to Jews, and Schumer won the election.
So, it seems that Schumer learned something from Weiner's earlier tactics, and Weiner reaped second returns on the investment.

I forgot about that. To get Ryan out of the race, Obama got rercords “unsealed”. But God help anyone who tries to unseal anything on the One. Imagine if the records had stayed sealed on Ryan. We’d be be talking about President Hillary now.

How can anyone in DC take this fool seriously?
Maybe the idiots from his district will forgive his actions BUT his democratic buddies won't. He is no longer useful.......
