Now it is being said that Weiner is admitting himself to a treatment center. Won't help. There is no cure for malignant narcissism. Treatment has never proved to help when the narcissist is one who engages in perverted sex acts of any sort. They are addicted to it as a drug addict is addicted to his "high" and drug of choice. Sex sick is what it used to be called. The guy might seem repentant...but not because of what he did. He is only sorry about the consequences he felt.

Let's face it...Weiner used the women in the most base way. He treated the women he Tweeted like sex objects. He demeaned and defiled them...merely so he could get aroused and masturbate. There I have said the obvious that no one in the MSM or Liberal Democrat seems to want to say. But he surely didn't send those pictures to appeal to their inner intelligence! He sent them to get a sexual response that would help him do the dirty.

When the pundits and Liberals face the truth... which is that Anthony Weiner is a perverted, selfish and self-gratifying man who has no regard for the woman as a person, then they will shut up about protecting him. Covering for, or supporting Weiner only means they approve of treating women as lesser beings who are only good for sexual activities. Does any Dem or Lib really want to admit that?

“Erections have consequences”

We have a weiner!

I barely avoided serious injury.

I am so glad you did. There has been enough senseless tragedy because of Weinergate. Why, just this afternoon I nearly hyperventilated from laughter reading this very thread! And now I've contributed to the carnage. Tragedy, tragedy.

Expulsion from Congress

Note from this that of the 20 expulsions in history 19 of them were democrats. Interesting. Most though due to the Civil War.

MSNBC or CNN will hire him to do political analyses on the 2012 election.

Nancy hearing that her tweet was redacted.....

it was the Palamino episode.................snicker

[RasterMaster]

Wiener is the new face of Zero's DUmocrat party....

Zero ethics, Zero credibility, Zero accountability.

[hal ogen]

Just the words “pelousi” and “weiner” bring up the most disgusting and disturbing images. Please stop these threads about them.

[randita]

Exactly to all you wrote. If he weren’t a Congressmen, he would no doubt spend most of his evenings at a “gentlemen’s club” where women are used for exactly the same reason you described.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

They are addicted to it as a drug addict is addicted to his "high" and drug of choice.

Exactly right. If Weiner stays in Congress, he'll be caught doing this stuff again. He's addicted to it. If he'd expose himself on the street, he'd get arrested.

The truth is, Weiner has probably been surfing the porn sites on the Net for years. One does not just suddenly decide to send a lewd pic to a gal and say it is "the first time" when caught and expect to be believed. His is a pattern of sneaky, perverted behavior. How many times when he was supposed to be working for the people was he visiting porn sites to get a thrill in the privacy of his office? Or at home, away from his wife's eye? Men (and women) who do this sort of thing have been hanging/lurking/participating in the lewd rooms of the Internet for quite a while. Then, often, they get brave (or bored) and just can't resist the urge to transfer that perverted desire to the world of the social networks and see if they can snare some new, innocent, and unsuspecting bait.

The incident now being discussed is probably only the tip of the iceberg in Weiner's participation in perverted passions through cyberspace.

Don’t do it Tony! Stick it out! That seat is yours until the voters say otherwise! In fact, I suggest you put any dirty secrets you have on any of your Rat brethren out now to divert attention away from you!

[newzjunkey]

Huma could ditch him and run for his seat.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I completely agree.

[tflabo]

AW is a cheap tweet date only. He doesn’t actually wein and dine them. Then again there’s plenty of Nathan’s around NY town for low budget cuisine weenies.

There were only three expulsions not due to supporting the Confederacy during the civil war: Senator William Blount was expelled for treason, with charges centering on a plan to incite the Creek and Cherokee to aid the British in conquering the Spanish territory of West Florida in 1797; Rep. Michael Myers of Pennsylvania was expelled for bribes in connection with the Abscam scandal in 1980, and Rep. Jim Traficant of Ohio was expelled after he was convicted of bribery, racketeering, and tax evasion but refused to resign his seat in 2002 (I remember the last one).

That makes it highly unlikely the House would expel Weinie. If he insists on staying I think the most likely result would be a congressional reprimand. You can kill a woman in a drunk dricing accident and politicians in Washington won't expel you. (see Ted Kennedy)

Interestingly enough, no Republican has ever been expelled from Congress.

[Tzimisce]

If he resigns, it’s over.

If he stays, yeah he’ll win re-election easily.

[imjimbo]

I for one, hope he doesn’t resign, so that he is the poster boy for the Democrats in 2012.

[Navy Patriot]

he is the poster boy for the Democrats in 2012.

I can see the poster now:

Democrats have a h**d on for America, 2012!

[Roklok]

Hang in there Weiner. I’m pulling for you, LOL.
