if Weiner was Boehner than both sides reactions would be opposite.
Weiner/Boehner 2012!
I really, really understand your point, Nutty. But I still must respectfully disagree.
It's not a D/R thing here. Weiner did nothing wrong except make a feeble attempt to escape embarrasment. Why should he resign? Because he lied? Sorry, my friend, that's a flimsy excuse*.
Politicians, Republican and Democrat, have lied every single day they're in office. Is there any difference between Weiner (or for that matter, Boehner) stating "I support the war in Afghanistan." a week ago and then stating "I don't support the war in Afghanistan." today?
Should we demand he resign because he's a liar?*This all reminds me of an embarrasing moment I had a couple of years ago. One, which in a half-assed manner, I did something that I shouldn't have. The reasons why were never revealed, the convoluted thinking behind it were never revealed, and the particulars were never revealed; other than "It's been discussed. It's over."
I made a speech similar to Weiner's but one that was directed only to a few people, ekg amongst them: "I screwed up and I'm sorry." Regardless of those words, I was called a liar and fraud by many of my respected friends, including you.
The human mind is capable of all kinds of stupid shit. Why create such a stir over Weiner's weiner when there's a lot more lies going on in Congress?
