This is the contrite Anthony Weiner, weeping for the cameras because he got caught being a creep, and lying repeatedly about it.
He's sooooooo sorry about it all, but of course, there's no thought of resignation. That's what Republicans do when they get caught doing creepy behavior. The rules are different for the Left; for the Barney Franks, Bill Clintons, John Edwards(what if he had been elected President or Vice-President? Does anyone ever ponder that quandry? At least, Spiro Agnew resigned over his previous sins.)
Then there's AlGore... And let us not forget Teddy Kennedy, or John Kennedy, for that matter. The rules are different for the Left.
So, out of curiosity, OS decided to stroll down memory lane, to view TheWeiner in action, TheWeiner unplugged. TheRealWeiner, with his Weinerness on display for all to enjoy. Lil' Anthony, treating us to The Full Weiner.
Here's TheWeiner going postal in frustration because the GOP controls the House, and won't let themselves be rolled on a spending bill:
Ahh, the joys of adult conversation on the floor of the House!
And another, in which TheWeiner burns up two minutes of floor time to ridicule the majority for having the obvious wisdom of attemtping to put National Palestinian Radio out of our misery.
Ever wonder how much money we burn per minute when the House is in session?
What a guy!
And here's the best bit of all: Anthony Weiner, Champion Of Women's Interests. Stay with this one through about 1:25 if you can, where he asserts that 'Some rape is more desirable in the eyes of the sponsor than others'...It gets, well, randier and more insulting after that.
WeinerGate should really come as no surprise--the posting of a picture of his Weinerness in a state of arousal to a woman with whom he is flirting is really par for the course for any person with this level of arrogance and total absence of basic judgement. The common thread isn't the perv sex, or even the Leftist politics (Republicans get randy, too...Terry Sanford playing hooky in Argentina with his mistress does come to mind.)
It's the sheer arrogance, the utter lack of judicious consideration of possible consequences of behaviour, the folly, the stupidity. It's what one would expect of Billy-Bob living in his trailor in the back parts of Bedford County, cooking meth and impregnating his second cousins. Billy-Bob creates a lot of chaos, but it's usually localized. These people pass laws, impose taxes, start wars, put the country into impossible levels of debt, and eviscerate anyone who dare raise a hand in objection.
TheWeiner won't resign. Weiners like him never do. MizNancy had her legal eagles write out his faux-apology, and ordered him to make the contrition look convincing. He certainly did not step to that podium willingly. He had to do it now, lest the question continue to arise in 2012, stiffening the resolve of his opposition, arousing curiosity, emboldening the press to repeatedly raise probing questions. Sorry, just couldn't resist....
He should resign, though. Were he a Mensch, and not TheWeiner, he would resign, and stand for election for his seat again, either in the by-election, or in the 2012 general election. (Who knows, he might find himself contesting for the seat with a woman in opposition. Now, wouldn't that be interesting! He doesn't care to find out.)
But, he won't. He'll get away with it, in the end, because he can.
Because the rules are different for the Left. And Weiners.

Wow!! "The gentleman will sit!!!!" what a rant!!! I LOVED IT!!!... Is Weiner doing steroids while working out at the gym??... maybe not... 'roid rage, know what I'm sayin'? But that would make his pecker look smaller so he wouldn't want to do that since he digs tweetin' da junk... but he's definitely got a little rage going on. I wish they would go back to deuling with pistols. Hugely entertaining. You could sell tickets.
