Weiner comes clean! This is not intended to be a bad pun.

He was doing this for 3 years. Didn’t he think it would catsup with him?

I just hope we find out he emailed pics of his package to underaged girls so we can watch somone’s head explode.

At least he mustard up the courage to admit his errors.

And everyone in this thread is just relishing the opportunity to spin out the puns.

Everything about this story is so hard to believe.

No, if he goes on the Daily Show it’ll look like he isn’t taking what he did seriously.

As did David Vitter.

Not right now. In five months, it’s totally doable.

Great. We have a whole boardful of people who wish they were headline writers for the New York Post, it seems. OTOH the folks actually holding down that job at the Post and the Daily News must be thanking Heaven for Weiner this week (he would not be much better off if he pronounced his name as it looks from the spelling, “whiner” instead of “wiener”…).

Which is not to say the whole unraveling hasn’t been a fascinating thing to behold (and hell, I knew it was just a matter of time 'til one of my guys would turn up in this sort of nonsense, just by law of averages). As for his attempt to misdirect by saying “ph33r the m4d haxx0r skillz”, I have to admit he had me going there for a moment. Just barely at the edge of not totally improbable for the general public, points for creativity… but immediately subtracted for inability to “sell” it.

He may survive it yet, at least for the rest of the term. But somewhere Bill Clinton must be shaking his head and sighing (or laughing) at all these rank amateurs…

Maybe John Edwards can give him some advice.

Has there been a better scandal/name combo since Bob Packwood?

Once he’s done being grilled for member conduct, I bet he could get on with the Joint Chiefs. Assuming he doesn’t rub anyone the wrong way that is…

Cite?

uh… chris lee did less and resigned 3 hours after the story broke… atleast piolsi is gonna go after him. He is a congressmen he should resign he dont deserve to be in office, if he can ly and cheat on his wife… and is dumb enough 2 do so then how can be a fair true leader? fuck him i hope his wife does leave him

when it comes 2 sex congress people usualy step down… charlie wrangel got in trouble and lost his comitee seat which is a big deal 2 him. chris lee, and eric tickle fight massa both did weiner will 2. It will be intresting 2 see how fast the left side of the media lets go of this tho… then i will enjoy pointing out the objous bias. i hope im wrong the hes a scum bag

Sending racy emails and/or pics from my work computer, and engaging in sex chat on the voice phone from work is one of those offenses that would land me in the unemployment line “toot sweet”. No write-ups, no warning periods.

If he did this from his congressional office, I wonder what happens. He’s an elected official, so I don’t know if he can get fired, especially since he didn’t break a criminal code.

He is actually a good congressman who screwed up badly. How could he not know better?
I suspect we are not through with all the revelations yet. This has been going on for at least 3 years. In that time, he must have slipped up worse than what has been shown,. This stuff so far, is just stupid and pretty tame.
He trusted the women he was talking to on line, to tell him the truth about their age. He may be in for a big shock.

I see what you did there. :wink:

Dude, “lie” is only a three letter word. Learn how to fucking spell.

When he saw the picture, I’m guessing he knew that it would expldoe in his face.

You just can’t cover up something that big.
