If the democrats want him out so badly, then we should want him to stick around. An arrogant, wounded sex pervert would be the ultimate albatross around the democrats’ collective political neck in 2012, and having him still representing his district in 2012 would give us a realistic chance of actually winning the district.

If he resigns now he will 100% guaranteed be replaced by another democrat, an unsullied democrat fresh and ready for a fight, and any references to Weiner’s misdeeds will be seen as mean-spirited.

No, we want him to stick around; we want him wounded, not dead.

[Revolting cat!]

If Humus is a Saudi agent, as some suspect, hiding in plain sight, then she might have been ordered to marry the scumbag for the good of the kingdom, as he appeared to be on his way up, way up, even getting a cover story somewhere along the way predicting a POTUS future for his weiner. In the meantime, backstage, Tammy Wynette is warming up as we speak.

On the " ALL STARS , they claimed Weiner wasn't liked before the scandal.

Gee. Imagine that. An arrogant condescending asshole who wasn't liked.

Even by his fellow 'Rats...

“to preserve his own dignity.”

“...to preserve his own dignity...”????

WHAT Dignity!?!?

He was waving his wiggins in front of a camera for young girls to (ostensibly) ogle!

He was “Flaunting the Flagpole”!

Or you could say he was “Shaking his Skimpy Shrimpie”!!!

Or “Brandishing the Baloney”!

Or maybe “Putting a Harness on the Helmeted Trouser Trout”!!!

Or, last but not least - “waggling the one-eyed wonder weasel!!!!!”

And ALL on film!!!!!!

He has ZERO dignity left!

Was that mean? Was that harsh? Do I care?

Nah. One less Democrat assh*le is NEVER a bad thing.

Really? Didn't have any effect in the last several election cycles having Barnie Frank around ...

What Weiner did is nothing compared to Ted Kennedy letting a woman die in his car, Kennedy did not resign. He did not resign for 40 years, till death.

What Weiner did is nothing compared to the felonies Bill Clinton committed in an attempt to fix the outcome of a court case in which he was defendant while he was a sitting President, Clinton did not resign.

They both knew Democrat voters would continue to support them no matter what.

Weiner showed his weiner. BIG DEAL! He’s a Democrat! Resign!?

What am I missing here?

[Thrownatbirth]

Has anyone ever seen a picture of Huma as a happy person....???

You wouldn't smile either with that many carpet burns.

[Rocky]

Weiner resign? Oh gosh, what are we going to talk about after that?

I don’t relish seeing him go, but, after all, he couldn’t cut the mustard.

[luvie]

‘to preserve his own dignity’.....

I'd call that too little, too late!

[Oceander]

Not a valid comparison. First, just because Frank is a pervert doesn't make him a "pervert" in the eyes of the public. Had Frank been caught in the same position as Weiner and been made the butt of so much humor and criticism, and still prevailed without a hiccup, then you might have a point; as it is, you don't.

Second, Weiner's district is a different demographic than Frank's, and to all accounts they are a lot more dismayed by his bahaviour than Frank's constituents are.

Third, Frank's proclivities are a matter of general knowledge and therefore there is no shock or dismay when those proclivities are revealed. A lot of the reaction to Weiner is as much shock and dismay at the fact that a clean-cut member of the "best and brightest" has such a taste for the sexual gutter.

Finally, I never said having Weiner stick around would make us a shoe-in - this is the Soviet Socialist Republic of New York, after all - however, we would have a much better chance of winning against Weiner than we would against his replacement.

Someone suggested Oscar Meyer also....lol !

[Mortrey]

I’m convinced that as soon as the “Sorry Wiener” story hit, they put a pillow under Huma’s dress, and will supply her a “rent-a-baby” in 9 months.....

Ya know...for the MSM cameras.

[hal ogen]

I am shocked that this weiner fellow supposedly has a shred of dignity...or ever had. Have you followed this political clown’s antics in Congress? What a fool! Mu only hope is that he does not resign. If he does, I hope he gets appointed either as co-Head of the DIMocRAT party or becomes nobama’s co-boy-servant (like reggie bush). What an entertaining oaf.

[Lancey Howard]

A Marist poll by Weiners own constituents say he should not resign by a slim majority.

Rats don’t resign in shame because they have no shame.

I predict Weiner will not only hang in there, but that he will be re-elected by the same scum that has always re-elected him. These are Democrats we’re talking about. When on earth did they ever care about honesty, integrity, and character?

[sickoflibs]

RE :”WHAT Dignity!?!?”

I find the whole thing entertaining, the Democrats cant get out their important political message that ‘the Republicans want you unemployed until you retire and then to throw you off a cliff all to line the pockets of rich and corporations’ with this Weiner (great name!) story dominating the news.

MSNBC Ed Schultz Text poll tonight just asked if the scandal makes it harder for Democrats to get their progressive agenda passed.

[GeronL]

dignity??

that is hilarious

[Batman11]

“I don’t relish seeing him go, but, after all, he couldn’t cut the mustard.”

I just starting reading this thread. I have to ketchup!

[luvie]

He made me cringe even BEFORE Weenie-gate! What a moron....just like the rest of this current bunch trying to run (down) the country!

[LibWhacker]

On the " ALL STARS , they claimed Weiner wasn't liked before the scandal.

That's the rats' story and they're sticking to it. Rather than questioning their judgement in who to vote for in the first place -- which is what a normal person would do.
