Amid vulgar heckling brought on by his own reckless behavior and smug jokes, Weiner told reporters at his three-ring press conference that there is “no higher honor in a democracy” than to be an elected representative. But like legions of entrenched swamp creatures, he’s lost sight of the simple proposition that serving in Congress should remain a temporary calling, not a lifelong career.
Last year, the now-jobless Weiner joked on former roommate Jon Stewart’s cable comedy show that he didn’t “have a lot of marketable skills.” It’s one of Weiner’s rare truthful utterances over the past year. A protégé of fossilized New York Sen. Charles Schumer, Weiner has spent the last 20 years in politics – straight out of college to the present. Through seven consecutive congressional terms, he has stridently advocated job-killing policies in the name of the working class. About which this ruling-class elitist knows nothing.
Potomac Fever is a bipartisan disease, of course. And the Founding Fathers were rightly concerned about its corrupting consequences. At Virginia’s ratifying convention in 1788, George Mason made the case for a citizen legislature grounded in reality: “Nothing so strongly impels a man to regard the interest of his constituents, as the certainty of returning to the general mass of the people, from whence he was taken, where he must participate in their burdens.”
But make no mistake: Weiner has no plans on toiling among the masses. This week’s resignation speech sounded like a future campaign kick-off: “I’ll be looking for other ways to contribute my talents,” he signaled, “so that we live up to that most New York and American of ideals. The ideal that a family, a community, and ultimately a country is the one thing that unites us. The one thing that we’re all focused on.

Coincidentally, the exact same thread was posted yesterday:

This happens a lot, and FR “veterans” do it almost as much as newbies, and invariably the complaints come and sometimes the new threads get zotted. Might be nice to have an interface in the “post-an-article” page which would look for other “similar” news article threads within the last week and list them if they exist along with an “are you sure?”
If your last name is Wiener, you best keep it zipped.
There is an article in Front Page Magazine on:
Why Weiner’s wife is not resigning. A must read!
“Paging Ron Jeremy. Ron Jeremy, please pick up the courtesy phone.”
It's called "Search"
It's called "Search"
We must not let jerks like this back into politics. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
Sooo,
I guess Weiner wouldn’t make it in sex films???
Heck he’s already got a job offer from Hustler mag. Maybe Government Porn Liason, to keep up with all the public servants surfing porn on our dime.
I’ve heard they even make midget porn movies so he might have a few career options.
Hmmm! I missed yesterday’s post and so I am thrilled with today’s post! This “IS” Important enough o post twice ormore in my not so humble opinion.Its about bringing Congress and the Ruling Class back down to Earth where our Forefathers tried to hold their feet to the fire! Today’s Congress and the Obama Executive Branch has turned into a “ROCKY HOOROR SHOW and a Three Ring Circus!” of bizarre Sicko’s! who dont give a sheet about what is Good for America or Americans that were born legitimately here in America and that included the Imposter and Forger-In-Chief!
This guy is another poster boy for term limits in congress. This should be a very high priority.
“...no higher honor...”
You’ve gotta be sh*....er....Obama-ing me.
Dead Ted, the woman killer, Big Bill, the b**w job man, Weiner and countless others of both parties?
What we’ve got is a work release program with high salaries and pensions.
What we should have is the guillotine.
He’s actually got a fairly good start at being an actor in porn movies, which is more honorable than being a career Demonrat Leftist politician. At least the people paying to watch porn do so voluntarily, whereas taxpayers have their wealth taken by legalized theft.
try driving oscar wiener mobile...salary plus mileage.
