Jon Stewart Goes To Bat For Rep. Anthony Weiner: ‘His D*ck Is Just Not That Big’

video
» 142 comments

Jon Stewart hosts a comedy show about embarrassing or otherwise comical things that happen in politics. As far as political sex scandals go, a politician whose name can mean “penis” getting in trouble over a picture of precisely that is a goldmine of jokes. The problem? The politician in question is Rep. Anthony Weiner, with whom Stewart has been friends for years. The two are so close, in fact, that Stewart is certain that picture isn’t of him, because, he recalls, “this cat had a lot more Anthony and a lot less Weiner.”

Speculation as to whether Stewart would cover the story at all abounded, and Stewart addressed the joy such a story would typically bring to his office by noting that “if we were to have a wheelhouse,” a story about penises about a man named Weiner would be just about it. “But this is my friend Anthony!” Stewart noted, clarifying that, contrary to previous reports, he and Weiner had only rented a summer house together in Delaware (“think Jersey Shore meets Yentl). He then noted that, in his time around Weiner, he had evidence that the photo could not possibly be him, if only based on size. In fact, the only thing the two had in common, he joked, was that they “both lean hard to the left.”

Stewart then took on CNN’s coverage of the scandal, noting that they asked many questions without answering, only to later report that information from blogging sources were not entirely concrete. Compiling much of the information from blogs that CNN seemed not to have, he then reminded CNN that they got it through “journalism,” a thing they seemed, he concluded, not to do.

But Stewart didn’t spend too long ragging on CNN, as he had a more important point to make: “[Weiner]‘s d*ck isn’t that big. It can’t be.”

    Goddammit, where did I put that notebook of things Andrew Breitbart was wrong about?

  • A.R.

    i saw breitbart do heroin…i really did…
    why is the main stream media not picking up on this
    this guy is a serious heroin addict

  • NonElite

    OK, here it comes.
    Anthony’s Weiner goes viral.

  • Raygun

    Where the deafening silence Stewart was supposed to have? I can’t hear any damn deafening silence.

  • Nacho

    Where is felixw keeping track of the Weiner posts on Medeaite?

  • rubberneck

    Not sure if it’s good for Stewart to be knowing about Weiner’s manhood. They were roommates. Opens even more questions. They were roommates. I had several roommates over the course of my life, and never saw them nude. Nor would I want to.

  • Pablo

    Someone should figure out who this scoundrel tweeting imposter wieners from the Congressman’s account is. I’m glad Jon told us that it’s absolutely not his dick, because neither Weiner or his spokesman have done that.

    He wouldn’t be kidding about this, would he?

    “CNN: We have completely unreliable sources that speculate that maybe they saw Breitbart do heroin. We will cover this for the next year. Journalism doesn’t sell dammit, Fox is destroying us. Heroin and weiners stories sell.”

  • mitchflorida

    Funny stuff. But CNN has really taken the lead on this story, while Drudge has ignored and Fox has taken a back seat to the rest of the media.

    Psst, this isn’t actually a news show, he’s making a joke.

  • BFD

    Maybe that doesn’t look like Weiner’s dick but that “chickenleg” is certainly how I would envision him.

    In other words, if it ain’t Weiner they certainly found a realistic dick model.

  • Sean68

    It’s only funny when this kind of sh*t happens to Republicans.

  • rubberneck

    Problem with Jon Stewart and his parroting of liberal talking points on this, if it was any truth to a conspiracy, Weiner would be screaming for the FBI. Normally, Stewart and his 100 writers would love the Dana Bash interview, and make total hay out of it. Yeah, he’s the guy’s friend for many years, but to defend the indefensible is stupid, and makes him look just complicit.

    You mean you never shared a bathroom with your roommates? Thats odd!

  • david r

    Possibility still exists that Weiner sent 22-yr old potential victim a photo of someone else’s rod, or maybe placed some prosthetic penis object in his drawers to get the young girl excited.

    This possibility would be shocking to no one. Nor would a scenario whereby his wife makes a statement to the FBI she’s unable to make a postive ID as Weiner has never wanted to play.

  • turk281

    Nobody would or should have expected Stewart to throw his buddy Weiner under the bus, but mocking CNN for covering it was lame.

    Classic tactic of using ridicule to silence critics. Too easy and shameless.

    You’re disturbed by the thought of someone else thinking about a penis. Sounds like you have some issues with penis, hence insecure in your manhood or whatever.

    Right, a phony illegitimate scandal attacking one of the most prominent liberals on TV emerges on the website of the guy that has been dishonest many times before and has a mission not of journalism but of taking down the institutional left, and you’re saying this isn’t about him.

    Lol. If by continuously you mean Dana Bash asking questions like a reporter should do, sure. How dare she?

    Maybe they should do some MSNBC type topics like – Trump/Palin/Fox recaps/Birtherism/Palin/Bachmann/Palin/Birthers/Fox recaps/Palin and Lockup on the weekends(their best show)

    Is it a phoney illegitimate scandal? Well then why not prove that Breitbart is attempting to “frame” Weiner?
    I haven’t been able to find anything about Breitbart being dishonest. If he is, in the fiasco, expose him. Wouldn’t that be the intellectually honest thing to do?

    A phony illegitimate scandal? Maybe. I can understand your argument though, dismiss all possible concerns of wrongdoings based on Weiner’s inability to fireback any shots.

  • OxyCon

    That “segment” was actually alot funnier with the sound off, as Stewart’s hands and lips were all over Anthony’s Weiner during most of it.
    Did Stewart’s producers realize that it was pointed at Stewart’s mouth? Did Stewart realize that his hands were literally stroking it? Or was that part of the joke?

    Does anyone else find it odd Weiner is basically saying “hey media stick a sock on it”? Weiner should air out the dirty laundry and expose his alleged shortcomings.

    BFD, he was mocking CNN for not investigating, while not even showing or mentioning Weiners meltdown today including calling a CNN reporter a jackass.

    Weiner couldn’t even answer the basic “Is that your picture”. Stewart is misdirecting.

    OK. He was mocking CNN for not covering the way he would like them to, the way Daily Kos, Gawker and the rest of the blogs that were “digging deep”.

    Instead of asking about the shooter in the grassy knoll, Cnn dared to ask the silly question “Did you do it”.

    Now, off topic but:

    I’m eatin’ some Ellios Pizza. Haven’t had this stuff since I was a kid. Good stuff.

    Shouldn’t the hacking of a congressman be investigated? And yet, for some strange reason, Weiner doesn’t want it investigated. Hmm. Peculiar.

    See if the other liberal icon , Maher , is at least frank about Weinergate .

  • Big Eddie

    When and if Weiner admits it , will Stewart catch up with the facts ?

    He won’t relish the thought of it , but will he have mustered up the courage by that time to realize that Weiner was cooked and in a real pickle and he should not have tried to laugh it off ?

    I should be banned for this . Oh ,well . Buns .

    Worst defense of a friend, ever! Gee, Stewart, how often did you see his erect penis to know it so well?

    As to CNN, they asked Rep. Weiner the simplest of questions, and he has no reasonable answer. CNN reported concerns about Breitbart’s standards very clearly as well. Not much to make fun of, except the inept and possibly lewd congressman’s behavior.

    This is likely going to get much worse, Stewart better figure out his game plan.

    Well I gave this little pecker the benefit of a doubt. My only comment was that he didn’t do it because I believed him and no one could be that stupid after so recently someone else lost his job over the same thing. But now it’s beginning to look a bit fishy. After recalling how many times he was an impossibly rude angry idiot, if true I hope he hangs big time.

    Fact: Unemployment over 9% his entire first four years. No plans but spend more tax more. He will get a shellacking.

    The taxes in this country are the lowest in like 50 years. Any foolish small business owner knows that there are limits to cutting costs. In the end, its income that needs to be raised. But the republicans have been bought out by big business and their scam of exporting jobs overseas to increase profits, while claiming that taxes will inhibit U.S. growth.

    From the credible evidence that is out there, it is apparent that Weiner was hacked and the picture is not him. The assumpton that those who have an interest in ignoring those facts and keeping this story alive are republicans is fair.

  • timzank

    I ust watched another clip of his “press availability” and he didn’t answer anything. That doesn’t bode well at all does it? Especially since it’s not a tricky or complicated issue/question “Was it YOUR tweet or a hacker?”

    How tough is it to answer that?

    Answer please libbies??

    The principle is known as judge not lest ye be judged. It has nothing to do with me. I like Bill and Rush, but it is unseemly for either of them to be going after Weiner, even if what is being alleged is actually true, which is unlikely. They both need to recuse themselves from Weinergate.

    Timzank, Anthony Weiner has already stated (quite clearly and unequivicolly) that he was hacked… that was he has stated from the begining. At this point, hat really should not be news to anyone following this story.

    Not only did he state he was hacked BEFORE this incident, he recieved a notice from Facebook that his account has been hacked.

    IF you dont like the Congressman, fine; but dont edit out the verifiable truth here. His statements are on the table, and have been from the get go.

  • Steve_27

    WOW this seems to be falling apart fast for him. If it’s what it seems, Weiner has to go down as one of the dumbest bastards on earth. There has been so many incidents like this, some recently, how in the world can you not learn from your colleagues mistakes?

    He has been such a nasty rat so many times that many will enjoy watching him fall into the world of irrelevant obscurity. Unless of course he winds up anchoring the Spitzer show, whatever it’s called. And of course it will be grand watching the hypocritical defense of him. Has it started already? With so many threads on this I dont know where to start. Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!

  • Dem4Ever

    Weiner is so BUSTED!

  • NoahDiggs

    It’s funny that liberals are attempting to act like this is a non-story and that it’s no big deal. Yes, it is a big deal. If Weiner is telling the truth (doubtful) when he says his account was hacked, then it means that a crime has been committed. Given that, there’s no reason for police not to investigate this, even if Weiner himself thinks it’s no big deal. It is a big deal regardless of which side you’re on. How come Weiner seems to be the only person who doesn’t think so? He has not filed a criminal complaint yet. If he thinks this is such a distraction from The Real Issues, isn’t the fastest way to get past it to punt it over to the cops and let them confirm that the hacking happened? It’s pretty easy to track the IP of the computer that the hacking took place on. That would put an immediate end to this story. AND, my liberal friends, if this really is some sinister conservative ploy to decimate Weiner’s reputation, then we all deserve to know who the conservative D-bag is that hacked Weiner so he/she can be punished. That is why liberals should be calling for an investigation if they are so certain this is Breitbart or someone else’s doing. But of course, they just want to smear conservatives and, at the same time, let this story disappear so Weiner is unharmed. Can’t have it both ways, guys.

    WEINER said he was hacked. Weiner said: “some people just never get tired of weiner jokes”. The fact is he said it was the product of a hacker on his Twitter account, and that he was going to get a lawyer to follow through with the matter. From his first response, I get the feeling that Anthony Weiner has spent his whole life being the brunt of meanspirited jokes about WEINERS and that includes bullying. If he has been fending off bullies all his life, why would he give into one now. It is the media that is spreading this scandal, and letting Breitbart spew his lies unchallenged on CNN was disgraceful. WEINER SAID HE WAS HACKED and he was not going to let this be a distraction from the work he is doing defending MEDICARE and SS from the republicans.

    I would love to meet you just so I can say I met the most pathetic person in the world. Theres so much pathetic bullsh!t here that i don’t know where to begin so pay attention cause if your lucky I might slip up and give you something to focus on, Lol sorry I just had a moment.

    Anyway, all because you have a “feeling,” we are to believe Weiner cant answer questions liberals would demand republicans answer because he used to be bullied? LMAO LOL ROTFLOL!!!!
    Breitbart, although apparently right, told “lies” and was disgraceful? LMAO LOL ROTFLOL!!!
    “Give into ‘one’ now?” Who is this “one?”
    And all this “distraction” would be who’s fault?

Or do you not believe tax evasion, to be as serious as infidelity. How bout lying to congress.

So when you call someone out, plz be prepared to call out those who are wrong regardless of party. Can you do that?
