For those of you who don’t follow politics, you may never have heard of rep. Anthony Weiner from New York’s 9th district, but after recently getting busted for tweeting pics of his richard to some coeds in the last couple weeks, chances are you have heard of him now. But the unfortunate part of this whole sordid ordeal is the allusions that IDIOTS are now going to make about him as a POLITICIAN, because of the BULLSH*T he did in his personal life. But I ask, why do we CONSTANTLY feel the need to professionally persecute politicians when they are caught doing insignificant yet morally reprehensible sh*t in their PERSONAL lives?
As a matter of fact, we should be asking ourselves “Why do we CONSTANTLY feel the need to professionally persecute politicians when they are caught doing insignificant yet morally reprehensible sh*t in their PERSONAL lives, while CONSTANTLY ignoring the large morally reprehensible sh*t that many politicians have done in their PROFESSIONAL lives?”
Do you know why we do this BS? Because we are so damn STUPID as a society that we all collectively believe we are ALL Perry Mason and that old lady from Murder She Wrote. We believe that we are smart social detectives who can analyze a person’s character and mindset in a couple of minutes like a detective on Law & Order: SVU, and by catching a politician in a personal and private lie, we can than correlate that to meaning he’s a flat-out liar in all aspects, therefore that MUST mean he’s shady and dishonest in his professional life – and that’s a load of self-righteous, pseudo-intellectual HORSE-SH*T.
The reality of the situation is that being slimy in your own personal life has literally NOTHING to do with how you conduct yourself professionally and vice versa. Bill Clinton was [and maybe still is] a lying, cheating, p*ssy-chasing HORNDOG – but was he NOT a great president? Did he NOT leave the country in a SURPLUS? Did he NOT create jobs and preside over great social advances made by minorities? Yes he did. Why? Because being an adulterer does NOT make a man/woman a BAD politician, because both parts of their life are mutually EXCLUSIVE.
At the end of the day, regardless of how you may want to rant about the excessive dishonesty of politicians worldwide, the reality is they are just people too and their personal lives are filled with the same nasty, stupid, ridiculous and laughable issues that fill ALL of our lives. As someone who is a FAN of homegrown pr0n, I will be the FIRST to tell you that all those THOUSANDS of websites aren’t being flooded with hundreds of thousands pictures and videos of the same small group of people – it’s ALL of us, because we are ALL freaks and to hold a man to standards that you don’t even hold yourself to, is ridiculously self-aggrandizing.
But to get back on to the main topic, right now Anthony Weiner is taking more of a beating in the press than Mitt Romney, who just announced he’s running for President in 2012. Now Romney hasn’t tweeted or texted any pictures of his richard to random women [that we know of] so we label him as being a “Good” man and potentially a “Good” politician. But here’s why that leap in logic is so highly fallacious: Because Romney is a Professional DOUCHEBAG. He may have never cheated on his wife, but he did head Bain Capital, which was a private equity investment firm that bought other companies and helped them maximize profits – by SLASHING jobs. But what’s hilarious is that even in a recession, it makes more “sense” to support the Job-killer Romney over the D*ck-pic sending Weiner.
For all the people who are asking for him to resign, I say this: Let’s first take a look at everyone in office who has contributed to the Economic collapse by advocating no regulations being put on the major banks; then take a look at everyone in office who keeps voting on supporting pointless, life-wasting wars; and then take a look at everyone who contributed to allowing health care providers to continually RAPE Americans with pre-existing condition complaints and refusal to pay even the most BASIC of claims – and have them ALL resign first. Then we can get around to handling the dudes who cheat on their wives, lie about who they sleep with and tweet pictures of their balls.
Until that day, I will continue to judge a politician the ONLY way we TRULY can: By what they say AND do in their PROFESSIONAL lives.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Do You Believe Weiner Should RESIGN Or Be IMPEACHED Over This Scandal??

lol! I imagine MLK trying to fight for Civil Rights during this era of twitter and Facebook. We would probably never get to him having a dream because once a picture of him and another woman surfaced he would be done.

Co-sign. I give dude props for (finally) admitting what he did, and immediately following his admission with "I ain't resigning mofos". That's what I'm talking about. And hell no he shouldn't be impeached over this nonsense. He and his wife should be able to hash these things out on their own. His philandering ways have absolutely nothing to do with his ability to lead.

Tell em again…the only trial he needs to worry about is his wife getting all the way up in his ass for actin the fool…but you can't dismiss the man over that

That's not a good comparison because MLK wouldn't be reckless or stupid enough to do some crap like this…we also should take into account his terrible decision making, and tweeting a picture of your richard as someone in his high position is just stupid..

OF COURSE HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED!
He's a liar and a cheater! Why would you listen to anything he says now and believe it to be credible??

These men cheat and then end up doing BS that affects us all

Hey… I would vote for him.

We should hold our elected officials to much higher standards than we hold ourselves! They are suppose to govern the masses and how can one effectively do that when they can't even govern their own personal lives??
Jun 8th, 2011

And you dodged how stupid he is…
Jun 8th, 2011
Kizzy
No, what I'm saying is that it's stupid to give him "props" for being a scumbag and the only reason he is being honest now is because he was caught…
Hold people to higher standards

I understand what you are saying but at the end of the day this is HIS PERSONAL BIZNESS, I mean really the press/news is acting like he rapped or sodomized these women, it was just a bunch of emails/dm/texts, etc and a few pics.
They are suppose to govern the masses and how can one effectively do that when they can't even govern their own personal lives??
Because at the end of the day they are HUMAN just like us. They don't posess a certain type of high quality teflon/armour/special powers against pitfalls just because they are in office/government

Hell No!!!
Come on America!!!! Really!!?? It's not that serious, the only act of grievance he commited is being unfaithful to his wife, and YES I do consider weiner's online antics with these chicks CHEATING because afterall he is a MARRIED MAN, not a LTB/LIB/BF.
His love for twittah ratchets should not have bearing on whether or not he can run the city of NY efficiently.

Thank You!!!
Man listen when that bill clinton and monica lewinksy scandel broke out years ago and the Rep. lynchers/right wingers were gunning for him I was infuriated because not for nothing BUBBA ran the shyte outta this country EVERY DAMN BODY had a job if they wanted one, we had a Suplus, the housing market was booming but yet none of that mattered EVEN THOUGH hillary his WIFE was sticking by him through all of it and not flying off to another country or state to get away from the press they still wanted his ass out.
Often times it's all about greed, jealousy, politics and different political views, I don't think personal/social ethics has shyte to do with this.

Personally, I don't understand why someone would even consider holding a politician to high moral standards… Sure, you'd like for them to, but 9 times out of 10 they had to lie, cheat, and bribe their way into the position they're in. While I don't agree with what he's doing, it has nothing to do with how he carries out his job.

What they do in their bedroom really doesn't affect us. The only case I could think of recently is probably John Edwards… He used campaign funds for the sole purpose of keeping his love child under our collective radar… Then again, politicians have always misappropriated funds for other things… It doesn't have to just be for the purpose of covering up an affair.
Jun 8th, 2011
Kizzy
Let's be clear…he brought this upon himself by using a very public forum like Twitter to play out his "personal bizness"..He uses Twitter to speak to his constituents and promote his "professional bizness" so why should we look at both issues as completely separate??

Well I would hope you would demand more sense from someone you would consider voting for on a ballot

Joke all you want, but you are the one supporting a known liar..I don't think all politicians are honest, but I definitely don't support the ones who get caught lying!

Look at all the scenarios of cheating politicians and all the collateral damage that occurs..to say it is just simply busting a nut and hiding it is flat out wrong! They are constantly using extralegal ways of covering up their scandals and abusing their powers..that IS our business

So I guess its OK for them to keep acting like that huh? SMH

But here's the thing though, those messages and pictures he sent were "DM" direct messages it wasn't in his TL for the public to see, someone hacked his acc't, I mean come on we all have done at least 1 things via these innanets/webcam,twitter,bm,g-chat, etc. in our life that would be deem inappropriate but in doing so it was sent privately/confidentally and thinking it will stay that way.

Don't shake your head at me! Lol…
Look, let me give you an example. Someone tells me about a man that is an excellent Arabic teacher. If you study with him for a year you'll be speaking with no problems at all. On a side note this guy also blows his money on strippers and prostitutes while his wife chills at home.
Are his actions reprehensible? Of course!
Does it have anything to do with his ability to teach Arabic? Not at all!
Would I recommend his tutoring services to people if they asked? Yes!
Unless his actions are affecting the way he carries out his job why does it matter?
