Here's What I Don't Understand About NOW...

Look, nobody likes throwing an ally overboard. I get that. But when even his fellow congressional Democrats are calling for his resignation, why does the local NOW chapter keep supporting him?

“But he happens to be one of the best politicians out there, so we’re in a bad position. We’re trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.”

Is it really so hard to find another person in the NY Democratic Party (or the NY Republican Party) who'll be a reliable abortion vote?

The Hypocrisy Defense.

Ace, his Ewok-mouth still dripping with the gore of Anthony Weiner's reputation, launches into the inevitable Hypocrisy Defense of MSM scandal-bias:

For one thing, look, idiots: Every politician in this country, including your precious Democrats, runs on a platform of helping families. Show me the politician who doesn't. Since something like 65% of the country is part of a current family (I just made that up, shut up) it would be insane not to make promises to such a huge swathe of voters.

And if you claim otherwise, show me the Democratic politicians running expressly on an anti-family platform. Okay, that's too much; how about show me one who's running on a family-neutral platform?

And that's just the beginning. Read the whole thing.

Weiner didn't resign because Democrats don't go down for things like this. Republicans do. And it's not just because of the MSM's twisted logic. It's because Republican voters really do care about their elected representatives personal morality, and Democratic voters basically don't. So sins that would have brought down Eisenhower or Reagan leave Clinton or Gore virtually untouched. Now if Anthony Weiner had said the N-word...

Anthony Weiner: The Stupid Continues UPDATED

Another woman comes forward with Weiner pics.

That line about being hacked pranked joshed with sure is workin' out for ya.

UPDATE: And another... 

AND ANOTHER: Game Over. 

Mad Anthony Wiener

Had Enough Therapy proffers an insightful evaluation of the unfortunately surnamed congressman:

As it happened, Weiner felt neither regret nor remorse. He actually tried to justify his appalling behavior on the grounds that he felt so strongly about the topic that he simply could not control his emotions.

Thereby, Weiner was falling back on an excuse that has been enshrined by the therapy culture.

That culture tells you that you should not repress your emotions. Thus it encourages and values the full and open expression of emotion, come what may.

Do not fear offending people; do not fear being overly dramatic. If you feel very strongly about something, let fly, let ‘er rip, give ‘em hell.

On that fateful afternoon on the House floor Mad Anthony did just that.
As the slightly dated vernacular would have it, he let it all hang out.

The nickname of "Mad Anthony" is likewise too good to pass up.

WienerGate: Synopsis.

I always feel bad for people surnamed Wiener. Everyone who dislikes them has an instant, lazy insult. So I have steered clear of Anthony Wiener (D-NY), however silly and irritating he would seem to be, because it's just too easy.

But for a man, surnamed Wiener, to (allegedly) send a picture of his...(*sigh*) wiener to a woman not his wife? On Twitter?  Seriously?
