More dems are calling for his head, but his constituents think his withdrawal is premature. Could be a real sticky wicket...

Now, do you have anything to prove otherwise, or are you going to continue posting non-content useless one liners that continuously expose your lack of intelligence and display a stunning amount of ignorance?
Your twinkle toeing is quite amusing.... Thanks for the laughs!

BTW, how are those murderous machete weilding bigots doing over there in Africa?

He said she got knocked up, Limbaugh said he alluded to rape. Bad taste joke about a 14 year old, meant for an 18 year old.

RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Let's not forget all of the hate and venom that was directed at Sarah Palin last summer and continues to this day in the form of so-called comedy from the pathetic David Letterman, who himself -- he used to have -- his shows was, I remember, back on NBC. It was great. It was one of the funniest TV shows ever. He's just an angry old man now. Every night, angry, filled with rage about somebody, and genuinely wrong about everything he says, suggesting that Palin's daughter was raped at 14 years old during a baseball game at Yankee Stadium. And who's denouncing it? Who denounced any of the hatred against Sarah Palin?
(END AUDIO CLIP)
VAN SUSTEREN: So where is the feminist outrage over this? We called "MS" magazine. They had no comment. We asked the National Organization for Women to send someone to appear on our show. They declined but then added Letterman to its Web site's "Media Hall of Shame." But is this enough?

what does this have to do with Anthony Weiner?

Two officers from the New Castle County Police Department arrived at the girl's home around 4:30 p.m. and asked to speak with the girl's mother about the daughter's contact with Weiner. Another officer appeared at the home a short time later.
Really Tony, next time you tweet out explicit pics of your very impressive member, make sure you're talking to an adult.

He must have been busy tweeting when Clinton was explaining that part...

Putting it in direct quotes as you did implies that somebody prominent in the Democratic Party or in left-leaning political commentator or pundit literally said those words. So please let me know when that happened, because that's a shocking thing to say about a 15 year old girl!

I see you are still up in arms about the way I posted. Letterman may not have said raped, he alluded to her as getting pregnant during the 7th inning. I'm sorry my misquote upset you more than what Letterman alluded to.

It's sad that some are such hardline political fanatics that they gloss over the content to uphold their party affiliation. Does it bother you that Weiner may have been contacting a 17 year old girl?

Nevermind, I know that will go right over your head.

Nancy Pelosi is saying he can stay. The reason is that he is unqualified for a job in the private sector and needs a government salary. I hope the Speaker of the House John Boehner expells him.
