The fact that he's not resigning makes him come off as even more of an egomaniac, I mean seriously, he spent THIRTY minutes talking to press? That should of been 10 minutes max. More proof that this was all about him.

Damn it. I Liked the fact that he went after republicans... but this is too much. He should really resign.
Or, he really should resign.

He did something dumb. Was embarrassed and lied to a reporter on TV?

He lied to his constituents and the nation. What else can he/has he lied about? Can you trust a thing he says after this?

While you finish wiping that egg off your face, perhaps you could explain how Breitbart is a liar and the liberal propaganda machine has any credibility whatsoever.

Weiner is a great representative for the people of NY. No reason for him to resign. He did not commit a crime and it is between him and his wife. Unless another individual...adult or a child was molested I can see no reason for him to resign. As for Breitbart, he is no more than a bottom feeder that makes his living off of taking jabs at others. I'd like to get a look at his online chatting history. Who give a damn what anyone does in their private time and lives, especially if they never claimed to be or ran on a platform of being a "family values good christian preaching conservative hypocrite".

To me its odd.. but nothing worth complaining over assuming the recipient was an adult and is not complaining about it.


Weiner has admitted at the press conference that he didn't know the age of the recipient.

The Right is justified in criticizing his hypocrisy but the Left has a point too. Sorry but sending pics over the internet is much more benign than having an affair with a woman in South America and not telling anyone about it or a Minister who runs on family values and then cheats on his spouse.

Politicians lie? I'm shocked.

Bill Clinton is the most popular politician in this country and guess what...he lied.

Maybe if the Republicans dropped the holier than thou attitude they would be allowed to make mistakes without getting ripped apart...then again its you guys ripping apart your own people.


And to the people thinking this is gonna be an ELECTION ISSUE...are you serious?

The same people that think the killing of bin laden will fade away in a year think this is gonna last a year?
