Why Weiner Will Not Go Down (There's No Shaming Weiner)
Boston Herald ^ | June 9, 2011 | Michael Graham

Is it possible to remain a sitting member of Congress after a photo of your (ahem) “standing member” has been released on the Internet? We’re about to find out.

Because Anthony Weiner isn’t going anywhere. Despite all the texts and pics and personal humiliations, Rep. Weiner will not resign. Period.

And if you don’t believe me, ask Bill Clinton — which, by the way, is what Weiner’s doing right now.

“Rep. Anthony Weiner explained himself and apologized for his conduct to Bill Clinton,” Politico.com reported yesterday.

What did he apologize to Clinton for?

Perhaps Weiner feels bad about undermining Clinton’s efforts to convince Americans the Democrats were the family values party.

Regardless, Weiner’s “off-the-record” phone call to Clinton made it into the press, which is exactly what he wants. The more Weiner’s name appears in news stories with Bill and Hillary, the harder it is for Democrats to stand up and demand his resignation. Which — if you check the record — they haven’t.

And unless a particularly icky photo appears, or some evidence of actual contact between Weiner and his Twitter-ettes, they won’t.

As of this writing, not a single national Democratic office holder has called for Weiner to resign. When New York Republican Rep. Christopher Lee posted a photo of his bare chest on Craigslist a few months ago, the GOP leadership had him disappear faster than a witness at a mob trial.

But Democrats don’t resign.

Rep. Charlie Rangel was caught red-handed cheating on his taxes, hiding income and improperly using rent-controlled housing, but he’s still a proud member of Congress.

Tim Geithner was caught cheating on taxes. His job today? Treasury secretary.

And then there’s Big Daddy himself, Bill Clinton. Cheater, liar, perjurer, obstructor of justice — much of it...

There’s an old book titled:
“You Can Trust the Communists (To Be Communists)”

Lost track of it, but last time I read it they fit the descriptions to a T.

Thanks and Best Regards.

That's where I got that from!

The new revision is:
You Can Still Trust the Communists: To be Communists, Socialists, Statists, and Progressives Too

David Noebel, who did some minor revisions, is a big "worldview guy" and runs/ran Summit Ministries' Understanding the Times.
