Republicans are sending out warmth and kindness (and oldsauce news, Anthony Weiner jokes?) to you and yours on Valentine’s Day!

“That Anthony Wiener is despicable! Nothing like the paragon that is Newt Gingrich!”
At least Newt apologized and resigned. Weiner had to be fired. Big difference between Republicans and Democrats in this arena. Both do it, only one does the “honorable” thing afterwards. And yes I think someone caught lying and cheating on their spouse shouldn’t be in office; why? If they lie and cheat to someone they “love” wtf will they do to me?
Craig Thomas
Correction: Sen. Larry Craig.
David Vitter
Actually, Weiner apologized and resigned, while Newt was censured.
If Wiener had just had an affair I think he would have been forgiven. The problem is that photos of his privates were sent out and he is now a laughing stock, especially since he had made such a big deal about his name. You know the bigger they are the harder they fall! He can never live it down. Also, I don’t think Newt is going anywhere politically.
Wiener never really took himself seriously in the first place, if you’ve seen his speech at the White House Corespondent’s Dinner, and if you think that the sensationalist media we live with wouldn’t have used his name for cracking joke…
Besides, he never actually had an affair, at least from my view. There’s only intimacy over the internet between people who know each over very well and care very much about each other. I don’t think pictures of one’s junk qualifies for either.
You can’t ever be taken seriously again if the public has naked pictures of you. It’s never been done and I don’t think he has the humility to pull it off. No one would ever be able to stop snickering to take him seriously. There are no pictures of Newts affair but if there were I’m sure he would be history. But then no one would probably want to look at them… No, Wiener effed himself. What’s so funny is the shear nerve he had to do something like that and think he would never be caught.
newt steadfastly refused to apologize — he was forced out. and it had nothing to do with his affairs, that was not why he was censured. he was misusing his contacts to power-broker, which he was well-known for doing. even on that issue, he refused to admit that he’d done anythign wrong. just like now.
weiner tried to insist that since he hadn’t actually cheated on his wife, the issue was less serious and would not require him stepping down — that he could in fact continue to do his job despite the scandal. given that he seemed compulsive, it took him a little while to admit that he needed help and treatment. once he was convinced of that fact, he stepped down immediately, but it was longer than many were comfortable with — though many people in his district went on record offering their support to him and implying he might be reelectable in the future.
mark foley, who was instigating sexual relations with underage boys, also refused to admit that he’d done anything wrong right up until the FBI was scheduled to release the information to the public. in this case, it was only not a full out sex crime due to techniclities — difficult (but not impossible) to trace communications, lapse of the statute of limitations, etc. he essentially admitted to all the charges in his resignation, after he knew he could not be charged criminally for them.
Newt wasn’t forced out. The attempts to try to force him out were unsuccessful and he resigned on his own after he won reelection.
Wiener lied about the photos being him, he lied and tried to blame it on someone else.
In that he claimed it was ‘someone else,’ he didn’t blame anyone specifically. Plus he apology seems genuine, since we haven’t heard of him doing it again.
Of course it “seemed” genuine! He’s a politician. He probably practices in the mirror while he’s looking at his physique. I thought he blamed the guy that broke the story specifically… I don’t remember.
Maybe Newt can send one to all his ex-wives and mistresses.
Maybe Sen. David Vitter can send one to each of the prostitutes he’s been with over the years.
Maybe Mitt Romney can send one to each of his 27 grandmothers.
Maybe Larry Craig can push one through the glory hole at the Minneapolis Airport Men’s Room.
These are hilarious, but not necessarily in the way they were intended.
These are cute.
What Obama is doing to the country and the Constitution is far from funny, however. The latter is merely as arrogant idiot.
…The constitution is ‘as arrogant idiot’?
I see Archer is as coherent as usual.
Lol wut?
So respecting and obeying the Constitution is being an arrogant idiot to you? Or do you mean someone who thinks politicians should do that are arrogant idiots?
No, you said, and I quote, “What Obama is doing to the country and the Constitution is far from funny, however. The latter is merely as arrogant idiot.” The context means the ocnstitution is arrogant.
I see.
The latter, since there were 2 liberals pictured.
The latter wut?
No, only Anthony is liberal, Obama is somewhere between center-left and center-right.
Obama is a liberal, leftists marxist. Wiener is no different
Citation Needed.
Also, ‘leftists marxist’ is grammatically incorrect, since it’s an improper plural description of a single person.
And only a delusional teabagger believes that moderate Obama is a marxist. That just shows how fascistic many teabaggers really are.
archer is a delusional far-right conspiracy theorist who takes his opinion from people whose livelihood comes from sensationalism and lies, so it’s not surprising.
also, the latter would be obama, since he was the second picture. what he meant was “the first one is just an arrogant idiot.” and he’s right — weiner is an arrogant idiot. but the man was also such a huge disappointment because he was willing to call those obnoxious lie-promoters on their journalistic missteps consistently and fairly, only to be a huge tool in his personal life.
as far as obama’s liberalism, leftism, or marxism — or even his “respecting and obeying the Constitution” being in question — that certainly is the opinion one would have, if starting off looking at the mess of our political arguments with a clearly-defined sense that one side is always wrong, and the other side will never lie to you. it doesn’t make it right, or even half-intelligent to stop there, neglecting things like the interpretive nature of the written word (which is at the core of our legal system) or even the actual meanings of words that biased pundits spam until their consumers start repeating it.
he is actually too conservative for many liberals, and some moderates. that doesn’t mean that he is a radical, but isntead that we suffered during eight radical rightist years beforehand, and were hoping that he’d be able to bring us to a sense of sanity and normality.
So Archer, how are things in the land of paranoid delusions today?
lol wut?
I merely call em as I see them.
The DTs aren’t doing you any favors.
that’s the problem — you see them in ways severely detached form reality or reaonability, tinted with some pretty strong (and occasionally proveably incorrect) biases. moreover, you’re so solid in the belief in your own rightness and the rightness of your “side” that you don’t for a moment question your sources or logic.
Nice work not knowing what “Marxist” actually means. It’s almost like you think it’s just a general term for anybody you don’t like…
I’m actually surprised he didn’t try to use socialist like it is a dirty word, like most conservatives…
*as if it were*
Maybe he meant Richard Marx and Endless Summer Nights.
I liked Harpo best, but Groucho was always funny.
**HONKS HORN AND THEN PLAYS HARP**
Not sure if trolling…
… or actually illiterate.
In your case, both.
Wut?
Someone is merely as arrogant idiot.
Not sure if addressing RS…
…Or addressing the comment he was addressing.
The comment. It was very very arrogant. It was also very idiot too.
Well, Archer is more an ‘accidental troll’, he legitimately believes what he says, but he uses Insane Troll Logic is rationalize all his opinions instead of weighing them upon, say, reality.
archer is not a deliberate troll. his beliefs are just so radical (and, by his estimation, not radical at all) that his opinions seem like troll exaggerations.
i also wonder what you think “Obama is doing to the country and the Constitution” that separates him from bush’s eight years of sabotaging our economy and trampling over the law.
i just saw a report stating that our economy is, by and large, exactly where it was just before the election. that means that we were in such trouble 3 1/2 years ago that it took this long to repair it without a relapse. pretty sure that speaks to the massive systematic damage done by eight years of gop policy (starting with their abuse of their control over 2 branches of government, unlike the mild indecision of the dems’ similar position).
“An,” not “as.”
Coherent, as always.
Here’s another option for celebrating Valentine’s Day:

Poor Anthony Wiener… His career finished so, how should I put it… prematurely! Bwahahaha!
Somebody just can’t get enough of wiener.
So this is the classic PK troll battle – Archer vs. Nalin Palin. I gotta go with Nalin since he/she is liberal like me.
*slow sad headshake*
Mike, Mike, Mike, just because someone is on “your side” doesn’t mean you have to root for them. If you’re going to root for Nailin at least do so because he is honest and admits to being a tr0ll and is on occasion amusing.
In point of fact, that’s itsybit. And you need more than one salvo from each side for a battle, and one’s all you get from Nailin.
You know, Mike, your views are much too polar for my taste – it’s unbearable, really.
Um…no, this is not a classic PK troll battle. We have less than 50 posts at this point.
i bet archer loves chuck asay and fox news. sounds like the perfect man for “the base.”
Nah, I don’t watch fox. Too liberal for me.
I’m shocked. If you’re a Republican, then what the hell do you watch?
His reflection.
Speaking from experiencing, I see.
Now I know where you get your “evidence” from.
