I really like Kirsten Powers. Didn’t know she dated Weiner. Oh well.
As for Obamacare everything has to be delayed until after the next election cycles. Still everyone gets screwed in the end.
Getting screwed in the end is a gay thang, you wouldn't understand...

It’s getting pretty lonely for Rep. Anthony Weiner: Even an ex who initially defended him now says the serial sexter should step down.
Kirsten Powers, who dated the congressman about 10 years ago, wrote a scathing column for the Daily Beast Wednesday, ripping Weiner and maintaining that she, too, had been a victim of his lies.
“I had been defending him based on what he told me, but no more,” the 42-year-old wrote Wednesday. “Weiner must resign from Congress immediately.”
Powers, a Fox News political analyst, initially went on a media blitz to back her former flame. When asked if Weiner should resign, she had said no.
“You know, it’s between him and his wife. This really does not have anything to do with his official capacity. He has not broken any laws. And he’s apologetic,” she told Fox host Greta Van Susteren Monday.
But in her column, she attests that Weiner wrote her an email insisting he was innocent before his public confession, admitting he sent sexually-explicit images via Twitter.
“He knew I was going on the show ‘Hannity’, where I would use this false information to defend him in front of millions of people. I did, and I regret it,” she wrote, referring to the Fox program hoted by Sean Hannity.
The two dated for three months after meeting at a post-campaign party during the 2002 New York gubernatorial race. She said they maintained their friendship.
But as new details surface, like the tawdry exchanges between Weiner has his web gal pals, Powers is now describing him as a “predator trolling the Internet for women.”
“Congressman Weiner has fallen far short of even the low standard to which we generally hold our elected officials. It’s time for him to go,” she wrote.
I couldn’t stand her back in 2008, but I’ve got to admit she has matured in her thinking.
She actually makes sense a lot of times.
