Is this the thread to make fun of Anthony Weiner? I’m not sure it’s a stupid liberal idea, but it’s an idea from a stupid moderate liberal if he thinks he can now say he \*\*\*thinks \*\*\*he sexted \*\*\*three \*\*\*women after leaving congress in 2011. Bitch, you can count to 3 without needing to build in a margin of error. You’re still lying, making you look stupid and the rest of us embarrassed. You mean you think three will come forward, and there are others you’re betting won’t. God, you’re making Spitzer look like a paragon of decency. ---

I’m on board the anti-Weiner bus. When his first peccadillo came out, I thought, well, he’s fucked. Then he came back and it looked like he might have put it behind him and I thought, well, he should have been fucked, but whaddayagonna do. And now this. My favorite part was when he said something along the lines of, “I told you more pictures might surface, and now they have.” Yeah, but you told us that before you took the pictures that surfaced you slimey little creep. Now I’m back to, yep, he’s fucked. ---

Weiner is one of the only prominent progressives in the nation and I’ve never cared about the sex lives of politicians, doesn’t bother me at all, nor does lying to the public about your sex life. I don’t care and I like his policy. It would bother me if he campaigned as some “family values” jerk. ---

At least, I \*think \*it was a lady… and frankly, even after 22 years I find it implausible that I have, and have kept, a wife! ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > A horrible piece of legislation that got rammed down our throats. Only 37% of the public thinks it’s a good idea. Yeah, yeah. Don’t try to tell us it’s the first thing you ever had rammed down your throat, nor that you ever before thought it was **not** a good idea. I’m talking about the economic policies of previous Republican administrations, **of course.** ---

I mentioned his new stupidity on the previous page, and indeed he was the impetus for my short-lived “Stupid Democratic Idea of the Day” thread. Jon Stewart, who is a friend (and former roommate) of Weiner, must call him up on a regular basis and say, “Seriously, dude, we’re good for material for tonight’s show. You don’t need to provide us with any more. No, really, just stop.” ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > He also continues to ignore that the very words he uses are straight out of Andrew Breitbart’s ass. “Obamacare was rammed down our throats” was a phrase repeated by every RW media outlet and lo, the very same words emerge from their viewers and listeners unaltered without benefit of any critical filter. As near as I’m able to tell “rammed down our throats” means “passed by majorities in both houses even though we tried to stop them”. > > As for “the left does stupid things on a daily basis”, that was the premise **Clothahump** started this thread on and yet pretty much every example he’s offered has failed miserably. No, they haven’t. All that has happened is that all you libs stand up and scream “IT AIN’T SO!” instead of actually facing reality. Your post is a perfect example. ---

Only if “rammed down our throats” means “duly enacted by a democratically elected majority”. ---

What is it with right wingers and the word “scream”? Your opponents never seem to speak, talk, whisper etc.-they are always “screaming”. Is there a problem with your hearing, or have you never looked up the definition of the word? ---
