Two Things We Know About This Anthony Weiner Situation
1. Andrew Breitbart, who has a clear history of misrepresenting facts to smear progressives, is propagating it.
2. Representative Anthony Weiner, one the few strong progressive voices in Washington, is the target.
What we don’t know is whether it’s true.
If Rep. Weiner actually did send a lewd picture to a young woman over Twitter, well then, that was stupid and he should apologize. If it’s not true, then Andrew Breitbart has once again tricked the D.C. media establishment into paying attention to a ridiculous non-issue instead of the real problems American families are facing.
Oh, how I wish the DC Media covered the corporate ratfucking of America with the same tenacious attention and determination as they do stupid tabloid shit like this.
It’s harder to make childish dick jokes and double-entendres when discussing the future of medicare and the slowing economic recovery.

I want to be as badass as Jon Stewart and Anthony Weiner when I grow up.

GOP Attacks Women : Weiner Responds
Republicans violated a procedural rule that they put in place regarding citing the relevant Constitutional passage when putting forward a piece of legislation (the specific piece of legislation they were trying to put through was with regards to cutting funding for abortion clinics.) The Democratic Representative from New York, Anthony Weiner, called them out on it and spent 54 minutes arguing the point with them. I found it kinda fascinating to watch, if only because he’s clearly a motivated, clear speaker and it’s an insight into the American legislative process.

I know I’m a dork, but I LOVE THIS SHIT.
I also love when Republicans trip themselves up in their own bullshit. And this chair is a complete fucking joke.
New York, man.

Weiner Gives ‘Half Time Report’ In Debate Over Health Care Repeal (via AskAnthonyWeiner)
“The Republicans first start by making things up, you kind of have to wonder if any of them actually read the bill…’130,000 new agencies’ - NOT TRUE…’New IRS Death Panels’ - NOT TRUE…’Members aren’t covered’ - NOT TRUE…’No Torte Reform in it’ - NOT TRUE…you know, I want to just advise people watching at home playing that now popular drinking game of ‘you take a shot whenever Republicans say something that is not true’, PLEASE assign a designated driver, this is going to be a long afternoon!” ~ Anthony Weiner (D-NY)
i love anthony weiner for being able to call out bullshit.
what sucks is that there are only two teams, and they are both still making sure that we only buy private insurance. i don’t know about you, but i truly believe that neither of these is the team i want to be on.

“Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner was raging Thursday night on the House floor after it became clear that Republicans had enough votes to defeat a bill that provided health care to 9/11 first responders.”
