I was 100% on Weiner's side until

[tularetom]

I heard him apologize to that vile slithering POS Andrew Brainfart.

Now the liberal media will make some kind of latter day Woodward/Bernstein out of Brainfart and he will prance around the various cable "news" shows like he actually accomplished something.

My hope at this point is that the scumbag is done in by hubris. He will eventually be so convinced of his own invincibility that he will attempt to fabricate an unbelievable tale that gets amplified by the media until it is unexpectedly proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be a total lie. Hopefully he will have a meltdown on fox or some other propaganda medium and become an object of ridicule or maybe even face prosecution and lawsuits for the rest of his life.

1. There's always a backlash

The republicans can't win on the issues, so they pull this crap. Breitbart's ego will do him in.

3. It already has done him in. That stunt at the podium did him in.

Even if people asked him to go up there, his tirades were despicable.

5. I couldn't listen.

I had the tv on with the sound muted. Watching his piehole wrap itself around whatever words he was spewing was hilarious and repulsive at the same time. And then, I saw the pic someone here posted of him in his PJ's. He's a sick man.

6. what crap did the pukes pull? im confused?

2. ABC was just fellating Ann Coulter over this.

4. This One Leaves A Mark...

I agree that I would love to see Breitbart finally oversteps and he gets nailed with a big law suit or jail time or both. It pissed me off seeing him gloat yesterday and that this sorid affair has given him credibility, however it wsan't Breitbart who sent those pics and attempted to cover it up. It wasn't Breitbart who stupidly took chances with strangers that resulted in him getting the pics. This is squarely Weiner's fault. It also hurts cause I saw those who tried vainly to immediately refute the story as a hoax only to be lied to in the end and not only looking like fools but giving Breitbart even greater credibility.

Weiner owed Breitbart the apology...as he did to all those who tried to defend him from his own recklessness and stupidity. My hopes are Breitbart will be too smart by half...he's lucked out so far but he's made a lot of enemies along the way. I've seen these scumbags have their 15 minutes and I sense his is closing in on the 14 minute mark...and his fall won't be pretty.

9. We can't take our eyes off the prize...winning in 2012.

That's all the other side really cares about.... weaken the forces.

10. The Flavor Of The Moment...

A month from now this incident will be long in the rear view mirror and I doubt it will have any residual effect going into next year's election. If someone decides to vote against Democrats cause Weiner wired his willie then they weren't solid in the first place. And I really doubt we'll see many, if any, who use that excuse.


The fun of DU is how frantic and kinetic it gets with the latest verve and groove...a new shiny object will be along shortly.

Cheers...

7. They've created a new Drudge sludge.

[yardwork]

8. In many ways that is the worst outcome of this, I agree. Breitbart will have credibility now.

Breitbart will be emboldened by this. He's trolling every other Democrat right now.
