Fact: Madcow is correct for once it wouldn’t matter for him to resign now because we the people will do it for all the democrats up in 2012. Tea Party candidates will again make a stand in gaining the most ground.

I wish Maddow would stop concocting these BS defenses and excuses, and just come out with what she really wants to say: “I don’t think Wiener should resign because he is a useful far-left ally, and I agree with his politics. I’m willing to over look his wrong doings, even hypocritically so, because he pushes ideas that I find politically agreeable.”

Why she’s so afraid to say, “Yes, I’m a hypocritical ideologue,” I can’t understand. Like she thinks the rest of us won’t realize.

I love the smell of liberal hypocrisy in the morning. Actually, I have a weak stomach and it makes me nauseous, but I digress.

Hey Rach,
The 2010 elections, Keith moves to Current w/Ed, Chunk & Larry soon to follow; Obama’s talking One-Term now…That cracking sound you’re hearing is the Centennial Fall of the Progressive Movement.

Rachel is far left? She hides it so well.

Rachel Maddow: Rep. Weiner’s ‘Magic Wand’ Of Resignation Won’t Improve Anything

How true…the Democratic Party will still be a festering cauldron of depraved individuals.

I think you have just defined politics.

I’m not getting her argument.

Weiner’s resignation wouldn’t change anything, but his continued presence does change things?

Moderate said:

I’d like to think not everyone in politics is like that.

@ Moderate

You may be right. I’d just appreciate a little honest about it.

She then brought in her go-to defense of her much beleaguered ideological ally: David Vitter. How is it, she asks, that a sitting U.S. Senator who admitted to hiring prostitutes can continue his political career relatively unscathed, whereas Weiner is being asked to resign by his own party.

She can’t possibly be this stupid. First, Viitter is and was a backbencher, where Weiner was striving for media omnipresence. (You win, Tony!) Vitter’s transgression was a decade old before it ever came to light. When confronted with the evidence against him, Vitter immediately owned up to it (to Hustler Magazine, of all things.) And…(this is the really important part)…Vitter didn’t tweet his dork to complete strangers and leave a trove of nudie shots out there that WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

Rachel doesn’t know what the difference between Weiner and Vitter is? The deal with Vitter is that you can say “Prostitutes!” and “Diaper!” The deal with Weiner is that you can watch this and look at this. A blind man could see the difference here. Why can’t this Rhodes Scholar?

Is Rachel that stupid? No, she’s just a liar who doesn’t mind liars as long as they’re her liars.

Moderate said:

Politics isn’t always that way. That’s tribalism.

Stay as long as possible Weiner, you can do it!

sexual frustration on Congressional display is as good for the country because it is bad for the Dems…

these Lib women have done a number on these metro-sexually disfunctional Lib politicos…

It’s called taking the high road. There are times when one should, and in this case, Weiner and the Democrats should. Let Vitter, Ensign, Gingrich, Sanford, and other Republican all-stars showcase their hypocrisy, but don’t play the “I’m not more of a scumbag than the other guy” card.

Maddow demonizing those who are not even in office (Palin, GOP candidates) while standing in defence of a standing politician who has proven to be a lying sack of crusted gym socks = Ideologue.

Rachel Maddow: Rep. Weiner’s ‘Magic Wand’ Of Resignation Won’t Improve Anything

So , the people in Weiner’s district are fine with an Internet predator/License plate switcher representing them ?

There are probably some other bigmouth lefties to take his place .

“His resignation, or Weiner’s “magic wand” (pun intended), would realistically have little to no impact on improving what ails our nation.

Try this out: Tossing him over the transom will allow the voters to then install a politician who will actually work on those issues ailing this nation, instead of biding his time sending pictures of his crank to co-eds. While Rachael is bitching about this country being distracted from the issues she is ignoring that Tony got distracted every time he became erect in his chinos.

In the eyes of Maddow, the massive amount of news coverage dedicated to the recent sexting scandal of Rep. Weiner has become an enormous distraction from more important political and economic news…

…which Maddow never covers…

Apparently Maddow has no problem at all with bold faced lying, smearing, and framing people.

Things are starting to get really hard for Rep. Anthony Weiner. See why in “A Day in the Life of Anthony Weiner” on The Loop Now.com. It’s mostly fiction, except for all of the REALLY embarrassing stuff.

Are DEM standards really higher than GOP standards, as DEMs say? I have heard the opposite from the GOPs, but I admit I listen to them 100% more. I think that both have problems with cronyism, the one unionized in the honest rejection of those rejecting him (group effect) and the other in the loyal confirmation of the yes-men (person effect). The party rejecting both as tea in the Boston Harbor, couldn’t be more timely. http://constructiverecollection.blogspot.com/2010/01/good-and-bad_4056.html

Poor Rachel, perhaps she could do with a wanding herself, or at least learn what one is like. Vitter bought and paid for his disgrace, Anthony, in typical Dim fashion, is getting disgraced on the government dole. There is no accounting for Yankees taste, they seem to love disgusting little creep, is that Reed guy still around?

“that a sitting U.S. Senator who admitted to hiring prostitutes”

Because he wasn’t a Senator and it happened in 2001, seven years before it was brought to anyone’s attention.
BTW Rachel, how is it that a sitting US President, the first so-called “black president”, can cheat repeatedly on his wife, lie under oath about it, and not resign from office? Guess you’ll have to ask Bill Clinton that question.

Jack? As Dems go, Jack Reed is a stand up guy.

Because there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Plus she’s a partisan hack, nothing more, nothing less.

And then her lack of reasoning skills. If his resignation is irrelevant, why is she wanting him to stay? Why does it matter to her?

As for trivia and tabloid stuff being reported and discussed, MSDNC engages in that constantly. So what’s her beef? She should take the matter up with her network. What a ditz.

Rachel Maddow Defender of The Weiner!

Who knew?

Rachel Maddow: Rep. Weiner’s ‘Magic Wand’ Of Resignation Won’t Improve Anything

Yes it will, Rachel.
One less filthy, disease ridden “liberal” in congress is always a good thing!

My pecs are the only distraction and don’t worry, I’m doing plenty of push-ups here in rehab. Follow my progress at http://twitter.com/RehabWeiner

Rep. Weiner (D-NY) should stay if office, he commited no crime except being a male with testosterone… smile :-)

“in the eyes of Maddow, the massive amount of news coverage dedicated to the recent sexting scandal of Rep. Weiner has become an enormous distraction from more important political and economic news.”

Economic news? You mean those stories they cover over at Fox?
