I'm sort of train-wrecky fascinated by how Jon Stewart will handle it.
Me, too. I may turn on the TV tonight to find out in real time.
God, that's an interesting phrase, "real time." Hmm.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

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.

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

what matters to me is the pure lying, sneaking and horribly ineffcient cover-ups that showcase a certain lack in the intellect department
And poor judgment! I mean, why should he expect these women to keep it secret? Because the thrill of getting "racy" photos from a middle-aged politician is so attractive?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Another thing about Weiner is our local news-discussion show host (Emily Rooney, Andy's daughter) was saying her nephew worked for Weiner, and he was a colossal asshole to his staff. So that's also disappointing.

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 think I want to start a consulting business teaching politicians how to not use the internets.

Friends of mine in high school had an epic party with their parents away, and then got busted because the house was way cleaner when they got back than when they left.

Another note here (pointed out by someone on my flist) is that we don't know if the women he sent these photos to were, in fact, consenting. In which case, his behavior isn't just skeevy, it's harrassment.

How many women have ever in history asked for a crotch shot?

Plenty of women have sent crotch shots, or boob shots, which I think is probably implied consent to receiving them.
