One fellow official in the news report below suggests that Cusack is “a great kid . . . he’s young, he made a mistake, and I hope he survives this.”

Everything is now just a “mistake.”

When anything goes, anything will.

No respect for the office, no personal dignity, and obviously, no honesty either. Yeah, just what you need in a legislator.

As I told my teen with regards to the Weiner story…A mistake is when you knock over your water glass. This sort of thing is a character flaw.

This is creepier:

Rep. Weiner Used Congressional Gym As Backdrop

http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/12/anthony-weiner-representative-congress-house-of-representatives-gym-locker-room-photos-pictures/

The fish rots from the head down. Clinton made a mockery of the office of the Presidency, and the Oval Office, Edwards, Presidential Candidate, and former Senator, now Weiner has made a mockery of the Congress and Congressional gym (haha) and this kid just followed suit….

So , who doesn’t have an alias in their pocket ?

Vitter! Vitter!

Times have changed, the media can not cover up for you like the way they did for the Kennedys, too many video cameras out there.

I’m not sure what to make of this story. Can Rachel Maddow call in her trusted advisor Larry Flynt, and ask him to help us navigate through the right and wrong of the matter?

Yes, she needs a true feminist like Flynt to explain to us what women really want.

Anyone with a little knowledge of psychology would tell you that your insinuations are not only creepy but probably come from personal projection.
Why all the hate?
Are you a 76 yrs old redneck who likes little boys and can’t assume it?
If you’re not man,I suggest you grow a pair and learn to take a joke,especially when you’re not shy about bashing on people yourself….Grandpa.

The left is like the bully who punches you in the nose and laughs, then says you have no sense of humor if you don’t laugh too.

I’m not angry man….I just don’t get the double standard.
Then again there’s a majority of “the right” in here so I guess I should expect to get bashed no matter what I say.
Even if I’m not really on “the left” I can’t help but to notice “the right” is very aggressive in here and I don’t understand why they can’t take a hit since all they do is bashing.
That too…is ironic.

Well it certainly looks pretty accurate now…… ”

You left out Ted Kennedy.

When you post a comment with 4,470 words in it on a blog Sunday morning concerning bi-partisan salaciousness, it might to time to take a break and go outside for awhile.

Look at my avatar Granpa….you think I’m trying to hide the fact that I think the radical right-wing media and their followers are crazy?
I also think Limbaugh,Hannity,Coulter and pretty much everyone at Fixed News are crazy and dishonest.They want the country to fail just so the GOP can get back power.That’s $%?& crazy.
Doesn’t mean I can’t have opinions that are not on “the left” on some issues.

You gotta love that guy..he’s got more insight and common sense than most media pundits…if I find it on youtube it’s straight to my favorites.
It was great stuff.

‘Inappropriate Behavior’ ????????

No writer, just say ‘Johnny Dollar’! It gets him here and posting within minutes.

As I understand the story, the unmarried fellow was having some type of sex with an age-appropriate woman in the House chamber. Well, first of all, kudos. Though I’m sure that the thought would’ve crossed my mind and it’d be something I’d get a kick out of doing, I don’t know that I’d be brave enough to try and pull it off.

Otherwise, yeah, he and the female staffer got caught — funny how her name isn’t in the taped piece or the article linked from his Wiki — and they definitely deserve some kind of official reprimand to discourage others from doing it and they’ll be the butt of a few jokes. But at the end of the day, Mark Cusack still will get to say that he did it and getting caught gives his story unquestioned credibility. Hopefully, someone will buy him a round.

WHAT was this guy thinking?!

You can’t go into a broom closet of a public building and pull your panties out of your crack, without being on camera! Let alone a GOVERNMENT BUILDING!

Reprimand for being heinously disrespectful of a historic chamber, and for being DUMB.

When do politicians ever do “appropriate behavior”? Inappropriate behavior is the norm. All politicians are a combination of one or more of the following traits: liar, cheater, thief, drunk, sex crazed, pedophile, pervert, power hungry, glory hound, Godless, and/or money grubbing idiot. Congress and all state assembly/state houses are the epitome of society’s low-life scum. Not only that, but we must deal with ideologues, demagogues, and Marxist-socialists in the White House.

He is a DEMOCRAT!
They never mention his political party.
If he were Republican— o my— it would be in the headline!
The press are SO PREDICTABLE!

Republican supporters always seem to forget about their own who get busted having gay love affairs. Why is that?

The list could go on and on – Let’s just say all politicians have their own PERSONAL demons to contend with. What they do with their private life is nobody’s business as long as it doesn’t interfere with their job.

In the private sector they’d be canned. Simple, any inappropriate behaviour is immediately nipped in the bud for fear of sexual harassment suit. They all take umpteen sexual behaviour courses, courses on how to understand female/male speak. lol

we don’t forget anything sweets. We just act like grown-ups and don’t use the “well you did it too” line. It’s old, lame and sort of indicates that you have no defence.

Fact: Democrats always show so much class.

Grandpa,that’s the point.I don’t care.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you ganging up on me,after all that’s what you guys do.
So there you go…you keep on insulting people and saying that you don’t.
And I’ll keep on saying whatever the %$*& I want.
And if you can’t take a joke well then take a pill old man,and take a nap.

Looks like you are no slouch in the insults department yourself. Using “grandpa” and “old man” in such a disparaging way is blatant Ageism, and Ageism is bigotry. You are slamming both my parents and your parents/grandparents. But maybe it’s just another example of your idea of humor, and the elderly also should learn how to “take a joke.” Twisted.

At least this guy has the guts to post under the same name everywhere. Notsofast son. You do realize you are so stupid that you give yourself away everytime you make another sockpuppet, son.

In MA about 98 per cent of politicians are Democrats so it’s safe to assume his party. Cusack has a facebook page but basically it’s one for his campaign last year and the most recent post is “we did it!” on election night. He may have had to have his affair at the state house because apparently he is 26 and still lives with his parents.
“Mark Cusack, it is 4 am–how dare you be out this late, and who is THIS?”
