I'm torn as to whether I'm more appalled by the sliminess or the stupidity.

Because books.

Breitbart might be evil, I just meant that neither he or Arianna (and I should have said "someone like Arianna") aren't journalists in the went to school for it, passed through the reporter trenches, blah blah, but definitely fall into the realm of journalism now, slimy or not.

My original point was simply how weird it was that he wound up onstage speaking before Weiner came out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You know, I really don't CARE about politicians sex lives; what matters to me is the pure lying, sneaking and horribly ineffcient cover-ups that showcase a certain lack in the intellect department.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've struck a nice balance between the two on the "appalled-o-meter."

I'm sort of train-wrecky fascinated by how Jon Stewart will handle it.

Congrats Ethan!

I'm sure he'll give him the gears. He already has been. But I can also see Weiner doing The Daily Show for his "mea culpa" interview.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay Ethan!

Yeah, that. It is the same as I feel with the kids. Last weekend my son took advantage of us being out of town to party at my house with his friends. I was a teenager once; I expect this. I also expect that he should have had the good sense to clean up the bathing suits, towels, bottles, etc. Alas, no sense. He should perhaps consider a career in politics.

I'm disappointed. I like Weiner. I've enjoy watching him when he is on the tv. Now I will be shaking my head sadly when I see him. Kinda wanna smack him upside the head.

Me, too. I may turn on the TV tonight to find out in real time.

God, that's an interesting phrase, "real time." Hmm.

I am still not clear if he is/was DMing people he did not know or sending these to woman he had some sort of relationship with. Perhaps I should watch the vdeo but I am on my phone. It takes his sliminess down a notch if it wasn't univited penis shots.

I am sort of with Jesse- even the politicians who we love and who do great things do seem to have some sort of secret underbelly. I feel better sex than corruption. The only politician I would bet on to not have something like that is Jimmy Carter, and I am not sure he was the most effective president.

Oh, come on, kid! That's more than half of the whole thing, the cover-up!!
