Why of course he would. No doubt about it.

How soon will all the lib hypocrites that post here start defending Weiner? The photo was probably of RRK.

Fact: CNN again pulling big ratings numbers with Begala.

Thats a hypothetical question.

Good question , Cooper .

Begala has never been honest .

Begala . Hmm . Reminds me .

Gotta go stock up on real light bulbs .

Who cares? The young lady’s mother.

Mother of picture recipient furious at Weiner scandal

The furious mom of the Seattle college coed at the center of Weinergate yesterday demanded that the cocky congressman come clean about the lewd photo.

“I’m really upset. I feel like he’s a person of power and influence, who can make a statement and make all this go away,” Carol Mizuguchi said, blasting Rep. Anthony Weiner for his continued snarky sidestepping.

“As her mother, I’m really upset,” Mizuguchi told The Post. “I’m pissed off at that.”

I’d think it was nothing too if liberals had an Andrew Breitbart equivalent who had a known history of lying, fraud and making false accusations against Republicans, but they don’t have that do they?

The right doesn’t have a big personality like that. The left has their lies about Breitbart, though. You can always tell what Progressives are up to by what they’re accusing other people of.

Are you kidding? This lib would be screaming” What would you do if it were your daughter who received that photo! He should resign immediately. People didn’t elect him to do this kind of perverse kind of social networking. With the economy the shape it is in and this guy is tweeting crotch pictures of himself to unsuspecting women, his fellow Congressmen should demand that he step down.”

well, republicans are the ones prancing around preaching ‘family values’ and ‘traditional marriage’, and on the other hand, the democrats aren’t. the democrats probably/hopefully support kinky sex, and non-traditional marriage.

so it wouldn’t be in the least hypocritical for a non-family values democrat like weiner to be mildly kinky….

Do those not work for you?

Kudos to Cooper. Begala is a clown anyways.

So since Dems never preach values, they can’t be expected to have any.

CNN would do well to end his contract as a contributor. The ones who are extremely partisan should stick to MSNBC.

Even former Begala/Carville client Bill Clinton would never have done what Weiner did .

They didn’t have Tweets then .

That’s because Dems have no values, son, and certainly NOT family values.

Weiner got married just last year and has said he wants to be Mayor of NYC. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that Weiner was gay, that he had been sharing lewd photos with other gay males for some time, and that he married this woman so he they could present themselves as a couple so that a “single” Weiner would not be tainted with gay rumors as Ed Koch was when he ran for Mayor and that this photo was accidentally sent to a woman he didn’t know.

When do the apologies to Breitbart begin?

“Sherrod: Finally, we must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections. We must not be afraid to vote black and we must not be afraid to turn a black out who votes against our interests.”

The fact that according to Begala, Chris Christie’s ordeal could be “career-ending,” but Weiner’s still evolving story is nothing that voters should be concerned with, suggests that Cooper’s question was right on the money.

BINGO!!!

The fact that Paul could keep a straight face while shoveling this $HIT is a testament to what a huge BSer he is. And full of crap too.

Propaganda… thy name is Begala.

Well good for Cooper, and you too Matt.

N.J. State Police: Gov. Christie’s Helicopter Rides Don’t Burden Taxpayers

Updated: Thursday, 02 Jun 2011, 8:06 AM EDT
Published : Wednesday, 01 Jun 2011, 8:00 PM EDT

NEWSCORE – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has used a State Police helicopter 35 times since his inauguration in January 2010, but his trips do not add any costs to taxpayers, the New Jersey State Police said Wednesday.

State Police said the governor’s trip took one hour, at an estimated cost of about $2,500. But State Police Superintendent Rick Fuentes said Christie’s use of the helicopter carried “no additional cost to taxpayers or the State Police budget.”

Jaurez said:

So what if he is married. Does being married mean that you ran on a campaign of “family values”?

This isn’t hypocritical of Weiner because he hasn’t run on such a platform.

I guess the State police should just fly it around empty so liberals don’t have a target., that’s a progressive economy for you.

An angry Anthony Weiner declared today: “I’m done supplying you with non-answers. There will be no more interviews.”

Want a good idea of a libs idea of the truth?

Weiner says he didn’t send the photo. Donnie Dbag of MSNBC advises:

DONNY DEUTSCH: My take is, look, here are the facts. Clearly it was sent out, he didn’t do it. Clearly it’s a picture of him or he immediately would have said “it’s not me.” I think his only solution at the time would have been to have been very honest: “it’s me. I’m a human being. I’m married, it was sent to my wife and it’s a personal matter and that’s what people do.” . . . Clearly that is him or he would have said that it’s not. If he is sending a shot of himself in his underwear to his wife while he’s travelling: “honey, I miss you,” he’s a human being: who cares? . . . So he wears underwear and he might have sent a picture to his wife in his underwear. He should have said it, and said “we have a great relationship in that way, let’s move on.”

Yes tell the truth by lying about it.

Stephen Hogan said:

This isn’t hypocritical of Weiner because he hasn’t run on such a platform.

So, as long as he doesn’t do anything hypocritical, it’s OK in the lib world? That’s all that matters? Weiner did not run on a campaign against sending crotch shots to unknown woman , so this is OK, right?

So if he had sent a naked pic of his weiner to all followers, including your wife, mother and daughter, that would be OK because he didn’t run on a platform specifically against that?

Wow- just go back to your lib sewer.

uh, are you new to this planet?… try media matters, just for starters…

Ah, “Li’l Tony” has definitely stepped in it this time, fortunately for him he has the good people of New York City to pull him out. Including the “Angel of Death” Chuckie Boy Schumer. You see “Li’l Tony” does get a nod to being innocent until proven guilty.

Unfortunately people like Rep. Gary Condit did not get the same benefit of the doubt. I will admit that I was almost in your camp, but I waited to see the trial. You, know, trial, its law just on TV. In the legal process, Gary, he was proven innocent, an illegal, yes an illegal, not in this country the right way, was convicted. Yet I bet, you lefties still think Gary was guilty, why because he was an elephant and not a donkey. In fact, I bet you still want Condit in jail BECAUSE an illegal was convicted, and yes Gary was a Republican. Why can’t you just admit you hate anyone who does not agree with you. And after all an illegal was convicted, did I say that an illegal was convicted? Gary is not want of you, so he needs to go to jail.

You see “Li’l Tony” does deserve the benefit of the doubt, but it is looking to shake apart. I hope that he does put the FBI or Capital police on this so that we can be over it.

“Ms. Sherrod admits that in her federally appointed position, overseeing a billion dollars she discriminates due to their race.” Andrew Breitbart quote.

That’s a very interesting quote, especially because Breitbart never wrote it. It’s a mishmash of bits from his original piece and the correction that is posted at the top of it. That correction demonstrates that Breitbart made a factual mistake, not a lie.

Correction: While Ms. Sherrod made the remarks captured in the first video featured in this post while she held a federally appointed position, the story she tells refers to actions she took before she held that federal position.

My first clue was that the quote is incoherent. It doesn’t not exist. So, what we’re looking at here is you lying, not Breitbart. You claimed that was a Breitbart quote. It is not. What’s up with that?

“Yet Cooper smartly followed-up with Begala, asking him “if this was a conservative Republican, would you be saying the same thing?”

******** Well, Anderson Brava to you, finally an honest reporter’s question!********

Begala is veritably a TV commentator whore $$$$

Nobody expects Paul Begala to be honest he’s a party hack just like any other you see on other stations. Its a joke position. The host says lets bring in our Democratic or Republican political analyst and all you get are the talking points from blind hacks. Paul just doing his job being a hack not going to hate on him for that.

I guess youre not allowed to post links to youtube here… but that quote is in the Breitbart edited video.. it’s even inside the link you posted. You can find the unedited version on youtube to see how it was taken out of context, id link it but it keeps getting deleted. I can’t believe you guys are still arguing your side of the sherrod story, this is kind of baffling lol, I had no idea of how far out there you were… kind of insane.

The question is, why does this picture exist in the first place? The Left is trying real hard to down play this story because it involves one of their own. Who cares? WE CARE! This is an elected official caught sending what might amount to unsolicited pornography over the INTERNET. What part of criminal behavior don’t these Liberals understand?! These elected jerks must be held to a higher standard of morality.

Save this video, folks.

The next time that a Republican gets into trouble, whatever it is, we should have people go on CNN, or Fox, or any network, and YAWN, and say, “Who cares?”

And when Paul Begala, this retard, says that it DOES matter, we should play this video and remind him of his HYPOCRISY.

Begala is a jackass- the “who cares” line should be about ANYTHING he says.

How he gets paid for his opinion I dont know- a 3 yr old could guess his take on things- he is that consistantly one sided. I think he’d chop off a limb before hed admit to a democrat making a mistake or a republican being right about anything.

“Forehead” is great at protecting his own.

Weiner reminds me of some of those guys I used to arrest….

They point fingers everywhere except for themselves. Prisons are full of innocent people, if you don’t believe me, just go ask a prisoner – he will tell you.

The difference between a prisoner and Weiner is that Weiner has the left wing covering for him.

Do you think if they lie about something they are so familiar with (their penis), they will be lying about everything else. Men are really attached to their appendage and if he denies ownership of it -he will lie about anything.

Well, that didn’t take long. Now, seeing that they can no longer deny Weiner did it, the liberal media is officially shifting into damage control mode by playing the “Who cares about personal morals?” card. Expect another week of shifting blame to Republicans for “focusing on distractions” and being “moral zealots,” with Weiner being portrayed as the victim of a culture that is too focused on the personal behavior of public officials (Nevermind, of course, that these issues are of utmost importance when a Republican is involved). Anyone who has been half-conscious the last 20 years could see this coming a mile away.

The Democrat mantra: lie, distract, shift blame.

By the end of the week, this will all be Sarah Palin’s fault.

I don’t want to get in on this, but I have to ask, do you really think that is unsolicited pornography? I guess those Sears catalogs that we got in the mail were actually pornography as well. Man, I wonder what the statute of limitations are so that we can go after Sears and all their disgusting guys in tightie whities that they forced on unsuspecting children. Probably a lawsuit there, huh? And technically she never got the picture and there isn’t much evidence other than circumstantial evidence as of right now, so is it a crime? I believe the crime is if he’s covering up by accusing someone of hacking knowing that he sent it. And I agree that’s wrong, and I hope that’s not the case, I like the guy. He’s one of the few politicians that a) fights for what he believes in, and b) knows all the rules and parliamentary procedure for his job, (a dangerous mix for opponents of Weiner). And no, they shouldn’t be held at a higher moral standard. If I guy has nightly orgies at his house with all sorts of women and also men, but is also able to balance the budget and put laws into place that will create jobs and give us a functioning economy, well, he can have his orgies.

On “The Early Show” Thursday, CBS News Legal Analyst Jack Ford said if he’s not pursuing official assistance in this situation, it’s about not getting wrapped up official statements.

“If I’m a lawyer, and I’m representing a politician, in general, it’s not against the law to lie to the media. It’s not against the law to lie to your constituents. It is against the law to lie to law enforcement authorities,” he said.

But isn’t this a distraction? After all, I think the Dems would like this to keep going as much as the Republicans would as well. Because in the end, it won’t hurt his political career that much. It’s doubtful we will ever get the truth. After all, if Weiner’s folks (they are a private firm) do find out that the thing was hacked, would you believe it since he didn’t go to the FBI, but yet, you still believe that the private sector is a better way of doing things that using public funds on things that have nothing to do with the American people or the economy? So, in the long run, most New Yorkers will vote for him based on his record and not necessarily on whether that’s his penis or not. (And if it turns out it is his penis, well, he never said it wasn’t. And if it turns out it wasn’t his penis, well, he never said it was. Bill Moyers on the Daily Show was spot on when he said that politicians speak in the language of deceit and that’s why they make poor interviews. Here it is again, whether true or not, politicians don’t know how to step out of it.) The point being, what does it have to do with the top topic on our minds, the economy. After all, we had a major meeting of the Republican caucus with the President to discuss the coming default of our debt, that seems to be a story that should draw more headlines than Weiner’s wiener. But we don’t care about the economy, not really, right? If a politician can look bad because of personal things as opposed to his credentials and his experience, that’s better, right?

From Democrats? Never. When liberals attack someone personally or professionally, and they are found out to be false, they do not see a reason to apologize, and just say that it is just a “part of politics”. But when Conservatives do it, liberals are marching through the streets, crying on air, to get that conservative to apologize if he is right or wrong.

Do you not remember that the U.S. Department of Agriculture ran by former Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-IA) and his boss is President Barack Obama (D-IL) and they got Sherrod fired because her story might be said on by Glenn Beck? But no one on Fox News, talked about the Shirley Sherrod story until about 5:46pm PST (8:46pm for those on the east coast). It wasn’t conservatives over-reacting, it was the liberal Agriculture Sec. and liberal U.S. President.

IT’S OBVIOUS WHAT HAPPENED;

Anthony Weiner sent the lewd photo to the chick.

He got caught and immediately claimed he was hacked.

But, because he knows he was not hacked, does not want an investigation.

So he lies again and says he’s doing his own private investigation which we can’t verify.

The left cares about morals, the point is they don’t campaign on it. If you make “morals” a base issue for your platform then ignore those morals, that’s what makes a scandal.

Let’s assume the worst and the married Weiner sent a picture of his covered junk to a 21 y/o college student. He is just a human being like the rest of us. He had sexual urges to excite his life. Whether you think that is disgusting or not, it does not contradict what he was elected to do.

Why conservative sex scandals are so damaging is because their platform is based on the doing the opposite.

No, when you’re married and sending pictures of your unit to co-eds you’ve never met, that’s what makes a scandal. You know that sex scandals are not exclusive to politicians, right? The problem is that you want to view them as a left/right issue with a built in “Get Out Of Scandal Free” card for lefties. That’s not how scandals work.

Interesting, but NOT surprising!

Begala is RIGHT about one thing: “Consider the Source.” Unfortunately, he’s NOT talking about Weiner.

EITHER Weiner is LYING (which would not surprise anyone), or his Twitter account was (by his own account) “hacked”.

IF it was “hacked”, then THAT is a potential “National Security” risk, and MUST be investigated (officially).

IF it was NOT “hacked” (as MOST people believe), then should not Weiner’s constituents be TOLD THE TRUTH (about the man who has, now, REPEATEDLY LIED to them)? This is a man who PROMISES his constituents many things (in order to get elected) – whose credibility is (possibly) in question!

EITHER WAY, this is NOT equivalent to Bill and Monica (which, let us all remember, was NOT “THE” reason he was impeached – it was because HE LIED [under oath] – for which he was ALSO disbarred)…

Nacho said:

It absolutely is the point. Weiner’s did not campaign on some bullshit family values platform. Yes, his constituents may be embarrassed, but this is not a deal breaker. This story is not a big deal to the left, it’s a big deal to the right that hate Weiner because he is one of the most vocal congressmen and they have found what they think is a week spot.

If he was a conservative congressmen, it would be a career ending embarrassment because that what those hacks campaign on to fool the bible thumping fools.

Yes Weiner sent a lewd photo to a woman. Yes it was wrong. BTW chick is an insulting sexist term for a woman. However my take is this is far from an important story. I think its getting so much news coverage because its somewhat sexy and embaressing. Somewhat a gotcha news story. Plus its political since Anthony Weiner is a liberal democrat. I’m thinking if this happened to a rightwing Republican it was be just as much politically perceived. I call this a diversionary news story. That is to let people forget at least for awhile much more important news such as the future of Medicare, Social Security, the severe weather victims and much more important world news.

His campaign rhetoric is not the issue here, genius. His character is the issue.

Was Brett Favre’s campaign rhetoric a part of his penis problem? Of course not. Does this medan that there was no Brett Favre scandal? Duh. You can spin until you’re dead, but the fact of the matter is that NO ONE in the court of public opinion is checking his stump speeches to see whether he mentioned strong marriages as a good thing or not, because it’s irrelevant. You can be a complete D-bag without being a hypocrite. Everyone but you seems to recognize this.
