It’s about “judge-a-ment”, and the jackass should be kicked out of DC!

You had to know he’d pull a Tiger Woods. Too easy.

Big question is when will a teen girl crush hand some photos over to the police? Barring that Weiner will stay in office. He needs the money. What else is he qualified to do? Aside from being a CNN host or mayor of New York.

OOhh it is a sickness. Everybody has to cut some slack to a sick person. I feel so silly. I though he was just a creepy amoral perv with an arrogant sense of entitlement./sarc

Go on unemployment like the rest without jobs but NOT of their own making. He still has an one good income coming in who no doubt will be given a raise. He can always sell cars for Government Motors.

When I was in the Army Recruting Command..the Human Rescource Officer.a GM12 was missing work..coming to work drunk after lunch. He had been on the job a year or so.

Paper work was filed to terminate him. The Colonel and I went to his house..I was a Senior NCO. My purpose was being a witness and a body guard. He was told its over.

Later the civilian personnel officer told me...if the guy checked himself into a rehab facility he could not be terminated under Federal Law. The taxpayers would be liable for his treatment plus salary.

This seems to be what Weiner is doing.

The first thing that will happen when he goes to a treatment place is an evaluation which, among other things, details the treatment and its duration. That fact has been reported (in less detail) by the media.
Pelosi will shut him down at this juncture, before he commences full treatment.

Remember folks. DC Democrats think they are ABOVE the laws they expect us to follow, like Weiner’s own “KIDS” ACT.

That’s just for little people like YOU, the Great Unwashed, NOT important people like HIM.

DATELINE: Bayou City, LA

House Minority Leader Pelosi and DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz called for alligators and snakes to leave the swamp today, citing an atmosphere of corruption and sinister activity.

"The prescence in the swamp of snakes and alligators is harmful to the quality of life in this community. Debbie and I are calling for them to leave peacefully", said Ms. Pelosi.

There was no immediate reaction from either snakes or alligators, but there was a sound of snickering from the swamp...
