I'm not sure that this is always the case. I think this may have been the case at one time, but probably not today.

The 50s are over...

by "The 50s" you must mean the 1850s since James Buchanan was the only batchelor president, except the one Michael Douglas played in that movie with Annette Bening

Yea, but normally a few people step up and say something positive about the perp. You know, "Tony's a good guy. I'm sure he's got an explanation for everything." It isn't much of a risk to spout that sort of bland crap.

I see. According to this logic, only Presidents are politicians.

Congressman Weiner was a batchelor for the first 5 or 6 terms he was in Congress. He is only recently a married man.

He should haver remained a batchelor.

No one believed him when he said his account had been hacked. He has a "history" of loving the young ladies. Did you read that Vanity Fair article on Weiner from about 8 or 9 years ago? You should Red Bird.

He should have remained a batchelor.

I already know more than I want to know about Congressman Wiener. LOL That name is really funny now.

If you were really mean, and your last name was Wiener, you could name your son "Oscar Myer."

I know everyone is thinking no one would do that! But their was a family with the last name "Bug" and they named their daughter "Ima June". No lie, I read it in print when I was a kid.

Rip Torn

Dick Butkis

I've known two "Justin Case". The second one his parents didn't even realize they did it.

Rip and Dick are nicknames (or a short name) for Elmore and Richard.

And by the way, I believe it's Butkus.

the problem isnt the sexting. it's the lying about it. if he had just said "yeah I sent a few tweets and maybe a pic or two after I'd had a few drinks. I'm sorry this'll never happen again" this crap would be over all ready.

Did Weiner go to Ohio State?

yea, the lying part and trying to blame someone else is the bad part.

Shows the guys true colors.

I"m not even sure his wife has that much to be mad about as long as he never met those women. One way to look at it is this stuff kept him motivated to stay in shape, keep tan and he probably came home as hard as chinese math after sexting these women. I bet she didn't have too much to complain about it while it was going on.

Kinda like housewives getting hooked on dexedrine in the 50's. Men were coming home to immaculate clean houses and a woman ready to jump them in the sack.

LOL. Would that work for your wife?

Funny how money and power will keep a woman very quiet and allow things just to flow.

no , not at all, but I think I could talk my way out of it if I got caught though.

Huma Abedin doesn't need Weiner's money or power. She may stay with him, but it's not for that.

LOL @ his wife would not have much to be mad about...you know some wives think their husbands looking at porn is bad? Imagine when the husband is the porn. LOL @ not being mad or having anything to complain about...

so the guy plays dirty talk with some random slits, stuffs a sock down his underwear and sends them a picture.

I'm not saying I'd do it but there are bigger tragedies in marital status.

You mean he didn't even show the real thing?

Jon Stewart seemed pretty convinced it couldn't be the real deal.

Jon Stewart would probably know.
