Probably because a mention of Weiner's party affiliation would naturally segue into a discussion about the political leanings of right wing blogger Andrew Breitbart who broke the story. God forbid that Faux and Co. might have to report on the misdeeds of a member of the conservative hyena pack.

True dat.

If that is true I would give huge props to Breitbart for exposing his waffling. So far I have nothing short of "It could be my dick, but maybe not". That should go over well in the next election.

If it wasn't you, would you not be jumping up and down saying so in an effort to preserve your career? I would.

It looks good to me.
He should be proud of it!

Ah - maybe that's the real problem.
It isn't him, but he doesn't want to say so, because sadly he is cursed with that name, and a really tiny pecker. I mean something like a baby's pinkie.

But if says it is him, aside from the whole "lewd" photo business, he is worried that one of the women into whom he's dipped his tiny rod will go to the press and reveal his shameful secret to the world.

Or something like that.

Now he says its his wiener and he has sent photos to 6 others. But really who would want to see this guy's wiener? Am I missing something here?

I liked him as a speaker on a lot of TV news programs. But anyone stupid enough, in this day and age, to take pics like that AND e-mail them to ANYONE is too stupid to serve in any elected office.

I agree and what is sad is he is not the only one that has done this lately. We are really screwed

Late Monday afternoon, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) called for a congressional ethics investigation of Mr. Weiner. Ms. Pelosi said in a statement she was "deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation."

Fighting back tears at a New York news conference, the Democratic congressman said he lied last week when he repeatedly claimed not to have sent a photo of a man's crotch in bulging underwear to a female college student in Seattle.

"I have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends, my supporters, and the media,'' said Mr. Weiner.

He said he has engaged in illicit conversations with about six women in recent years online. He said he never met any of the women.

"I haven't told the truth,'' he said. "I apologize to my wife and our families… I am deeply ashamed.''
Nother lying politician. Frickin' frack! I really liked him too. WTF was he thinking?
"Of course there are no plans to resign... " That shouldn't even be an option.

If the basis of his denying any laws were broken is that he didn't use government equipment when texting his pics, he is wrong.
As an elected government official, his weiner IS government "equipment".

I hope a lot of you all never feel you should run for public office. 'Cause, your pictures are EVERYWHERE!

I give this as much weight as Arnold cheating on his wife.

Who gives a shit?

If I was the wife, I'd be pissed. If he was running for reelection, and I could vote in that election, I'd consider it along with everything else, and it would count against him. But I really don't care. If I were a woman who received one of these pictures, and I didn't want to receive it, then I'd also be pissed.

But I'm not any of those things, so I don't care.

I don't care if a politician lies to me about their personal life. It's none of my damn business. John Edwards had a love child? I don't care. He illegally used campaign contributions to pay the woman off, or something like that? Then I care.

If they lie about something related to their job, then it matters.
