As the leftist droolers Tweet their rage at their nemesis,

“FRwritings ©Frankie J™
by AndrewBreitbart
Am sure @AndrewBreitbart was behind the Hooligan/Thugs yelling at @RepWeiner im the room. F*cking Scumbag. counting on Karma to get you.”

How ironic is “Frankie J™ ‘s” Twitter name? FRwriting’s my foot.

Not even self-serving Weiner's blathering about himself can top the exit speech given by NJ Gov McGreevey.

McG was up to his ears in wrongdoing----the law was breathing down his neck.

PLUS Golan Cipel, his Israeli ex-lover, whom McGreevey appointed NJ homeland security chief right after 9/11, was threatening to blackmail him. Strange as it seems, McG, a Harvard Law School grad, did not know Cipel could not get security clearance as Homeland Chief, since he was a foreigner.

Yet, typical of Dems caught in deep doo-doo, McG micro-managed his quitting to turn himself into a full-fledged victim. (Full speech below.)

The kicker is that after the exit speech, McG STILL did not leave office. Apparently, there was so much dirt to coverup, it took McG about three more months in office to clean it all up. The shredders musta been going 24/7.

======================================

MCG EXIT SPEECH WITH DAZED WIFE AT HIS SIDE

Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused.

By virtue of my traditions, and my community, I worked hard to ensure that I was accepted as part of the traditional family of America. I married my first wife, Kari, out of respect and love. And together, we have a wonderful, extraordinary daughter. Kari then chose to return to British Columbia.

I then had the blessing of marrying Dina, whose love and joy for life has been an incredible source of strength for me. And together, we have the most beautiful daughter.

Yet, from my early days in school, until the present day, I acknowledged some feelings, a certain sense that separated me from others. But because of my resolve, and also thinking that I was doing the right thing, I forced what I thought was an acceptable reality onto myself, a reality which is layered and layered with all the, quote, "good things," and all the, quote, "right things" of typical adolescent and adult behavior.

Yet, at my most reflective, maybe even spiritual level, there were points in my life when I began to question what an acceptable reality really meant for me. Were there realities from which I was running? Which master was I trying to serve? I do not believe that God tortures any person simply for its own sake. I believe that God enables all things to work for the greater good. And this, the 47th year of my life, is arguably too late to have this discussion. But it is here, and it is now.

At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is.

And so my truth is that I am a gay American. And I am blessed to live in the greatest nation with the tradition of civil liberties, the greatest tradition of civil liberties in the world, in a country which provides so much to its people.

Yet because of the pain and suffering and anguish that I have caused to my beloved family, my parents, my wife, my friends, I would almost rather have this moment pass. For this is an intensely personal decision, and not one typically for the public domain. Yet, it cannot and should not pass. ####

Unbelievably, Weiner just thanked his parents “for the morals they instilled” in him. Maybe it was his parents there heckling him.

Another product of the public school system. Lets see if the NEA uses Weiner as their poster child. Let us educate your children to ensure no morals or conscience.

I admit I haven't read one story about this, because to me a story about a politician being a scumbag is hardly news.

Can someone please fill me in as to why ANY of this matters????

Why does anyone care about this? Seems like a wag the dog to me.

Next shoe to drop for this loser is divorce papers since he is an unemployed disgraced congressman. Looks like Hum a Wiener will be able to finally get rid of her embarrassing name.

Oh the life of a social climbing vulture is never easy.

Anthony ‘Little Tony’ Weiner has given the last measure of devotion. The John Holmes award will sit proudly on his mantle.

So what’s the story? Has he actually resigned or said he’s taking a leave of absence for a while?

He runs to the microphone and cameras even to be forced out. Weiner has no shame and probably thinks he is a victim.

Does anybody know how long he has served? Is he eligible for retirement? Maybe disability retirement?

Are we going to have to pay this jerk for the rest of his life?

I understand he has 4.5 mil or so in his campaign kitty -- New York ought to make him pony up to help pay for the special election.

I get vast entertainment from the Clinton’s reported moral indignation about Weiner and Huma , who the Clintons say is like a second daughter. The word from Hillery’s former campaign back room is that she had been boffing Humma for the last four years, leaving Weiner in the lurch, driving him to distraction and episodes of sexting.

I hope Weiner comes clean and tells all before this is all over. Hillery exposed.....finally. The Clintons are marginally human.

Point to ponder...

There are those here upset that some in the crowd heckled AW.
The “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” etc. Consider for a moment that one of the reasons our elected Democrat officials feel free do do whatever the hell they want free from repercussion is that until now, they largely have been, in the ‘public’ sense. It was only the Republicans that got the full brunt of the scorn because the media acts as a valve to shut down those who speak ill of the dems. They were not able to do so with the Weiner scandal.

Going forward, the Dems now will have to think just a little harder because the media cannot hold the people, and their opinions back as they once did. Today just shows that people are fed up with this crap. True, it may have been a plant, but all it takes is one to speak up, regardless of their motivations and the rest will follow. I think we will see more people ‘speaking up’. Of course, that probably means they will just work harder to cover up their BS.

Funny how when a lib heckles the Pubs in public, we expect it, but when a Dem is heckled, some get upset.

Dems NEED to be heckled, at every opportunity and in every venue. Their policies, spending, behavior et all are what has destroyed America. We can be silent, or raise hell. Our choice.
