Pelosi - Member Should Stand Up Strong.

Yahoo News - Amid increasing calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the decision should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents.

 Big Weiner Fan
Nancy Pelosi 
The former speaker said in San Francisco that she believes firmly the decision should be made by "the individual member" and the people in his district.

Weiner did pick up support from Rep. Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat who was censured by the House last year for ethics violations.

When Jon Stewart mocks your coverage ......

There’s much talk now among the talking heads and flapping rectum class on television about the recent events come to be to known as "Weinergate". As I look back at what newspapers, magazines, websites, and cable news did to cover Weinergate, I can only feel embarrassed for them because they clearly took the lazy way out.
Seriously, CNN's in-depth coverage consisted of...talking to Weiner's office and accepting his usual insistence that he’s ‘fighting for the common folk’ instead of spending a great deal of time taking pictures of wee wew and e-mailing them hither-and-yon and hitting up women half his age. To them, end of the story. CNN, let me give you some advice. When Jon Stewart mocks your coverage and essentially scoops you, you're doing something wrong. Hello!


And over at the asylum known as MSNBC, the entire torrid affair was just called the usual 'Rightwing Conspiracy'. 
Real reporters would have been digging more deeply than just talking to a press secretary or repeating a carefully crafted press release. The real reporting on both sides was done by the blogosphere. You hear that, New York Times? Bloggers did your job for you. You may not have cared to spend time researching the story, but DailyKos sure did! And say what you will about Andrew Breitbart, the fact is he got the story right from the start and the rest of the world had to catch up.

Quit turning a blind eye and just being PR puppets for the Democrat party. Where is your skepticism and verification, your integrity? It's because of your  built-in bias that Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel, to name just two, would probably be in jail if you were doing your job!  But I don't see it happening any time soon. So until then, I guess we'll have to get used to you media watchdogs lying on the porches of your master's ivory towers while the blogosphere gets out the real truth.

Pelosi Jumps on Weiner....Demands Probing

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that she was calling for a House ethics committee probe into whether government resources had been mishandled.

“I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”

[..snip..]

I refuse to make jokes about such serious matters as this.
No, not me.

Please Keep Your Weiner to Yourself.

  
This is how you know your elected officials
are incapable of running a country:
  
We live in an Information Age, where communications are instantaneous, and the ability to transmit and diffuse information at, almost literally at light speed, is a fact of life. We live in an age of a 24-hour news cycle, with thousands of outlets constantly searching for any bit of anything that is even of the slightest interest, hungry for even more channels of input, and ways to devour more airtime at a profit. We live in an age where everyone and his dog has a video camera, recording device, cell phone, computer, and access to thousands, if not millions, of databases where they can record, store, examine and retrieve almost every fact of your life, every utterance, every (you think) secret, every correspondence from the most inconsequential to the greatest of All-Time-Biggest-Bonehead moves.

You would think that someone who's claim to rule over us peasants was based upon the presumptions of superior intelligence and integrity would be extremely circumspect about what he/she does on the Internet. But I guess not.  Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is an insufferable twit and the most-aptly named man in Washington.  


Enough said!
