Does anyone really care about this WIENER story? I have not really kept up on it. I am ashamed that he lied about it..I not proud that although he has taken some responsibility for it, he is not stepping down as a sign of how truly sorry he is(this is only my opinion on what he should do).
The thing I find the most annoying is that in the three hours of MSNBC I watched last night it was the running story the whole time. Three hours of Wiener...thank god I turned the volume down(I sleep with the tube on so really it was just light on in the background anyways.
Does it surprise anyone that Politicians are involved in sex scandals anymore? I am pretty sure it is safe to say sex scandal is the number one career crusher for Politicians these days. I for one dont think they should be shoved in our faces...I always though the Terminator was a stand up guy..as an Actor...I have not followed much of his Governing in CA...but he is still doing the job, so he cant be so bad....at least I thought..I was sadden that he had kept the kiddo a secret. I am sure he lost alot of supporters after lying for so many years.
It Urks me that this is the only thing that mass media can cover...I know for a fact that there is more important things they could be talking about.
Thanks for entertaining the question...I am feeling a bit better. Hubby is trying hard to get out of the office asap...so, I can sleep...:)
I think as long as their job is getting done, I don't really give a rat's a$$ what they do in their personal lives!
No, it's not that I care - I'm just saddened that our elected officials think this is OKAY behavior - lying, cheating, stealing...sending naked photos, etc...
I'm surprised that MSNBC gave it any air time...but it was at night after most Liberals/Democrats go to bed so it figures on that....
TOTALLY saddened by Schwartzenegger as well....poor form. TOTAL poor-form..
There are more important things to talk about - like our economy and the fact that our national debt has tripled in two years, that our unemployment STILL hovers at 9% and NEITHER side/party wants to "FIX" it - they just want to SAY they are fixing it - or make another mess to clean up...
Our politicians need a swift kick in the rear...we need to clean them out again...we need to take our country back...take away their perks - 100% retirement after one term?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Secret Service protection for life? Yes, I know - The Clinton's were supposed to be the last to receive this but I have a feeling Obama will get it...
Bottom line? I am DISGUSTED by our government. I'm even MORE disgusted with WE THE PEOPLE who have become soooooo desensitized to this that they ALLOW IT!! OH MY WORD! STOP THE INSANITY!!
Not surprising at all.
Most men like having some wiener attention! LOL
LOL the media covers what they think the public is interested in or what they will tune into...scandals and the like. Although you personally may not buy People magazine or watch TMZ, enough of the public does to garner these kinds of news stories.
Case in point - someone pays Kim Kardashian who absolutely has no intellectual talent whatsoever $150K for a 1/2 hr appearance, yet $30K/yr salaried educators and teachers are losing their jobs due to lack of gov't funding.
That's America folks! Hope you get some sleep M23wee.
It is such a waste of time! I have heard enough about this weiner! So he wanted to show off his weiner and than lied... its done, its over lets all move on! I guess I would make a crappy reporter!

I cant say I care about this story but it amazes me how these men, who hold such positions of power and authority, are so amazingly NARCISSISTIC, IMMATURE and PLAIN STUPID! This Weiner thing and those who have come before . . . it's 9th grade stuff. I think that is the real story - that they hold so much power but lack good judgment and the moral character to distinguish right from wrong when it comes to their "Weiners". People dont realize that any email, any Facebook post, any text or picture message, even a post like this one becomes public domain once the send button is hit.
btw - totally understand your frustration with the news'. I remember I had one sick day where I was watching CNN - it was back during the 2008 campaign when Palin was getting so much criticism. The anchors were SO petty and were commenting on her "shopping-gate" thing where the campaign bought her a new wardrobe. I fell asleep and 2 hours later, they were STILL talking about her clothes.
WEINERGATE was hilarious & i literally spit my water out when i heard the news say it.......he should step down, he has no credibility (never did IMO)
its more sad that some of these girls may have been under age but he has no idea for sure......
who could have taken this loud mouth obnoxious politician seriously with a name like wiener anyway
My husband loves watching this man's demise (or what should be his demise) I find it too embarrasing to really get into. For these men who can't seem to deal with thier own power, have they not learned the story will die much sooner if they fess up and appologize straight away? Instead now we watch clips of them lying to us and its maddening. Frankly, i have little respect for media that focus on sex scandals. But being that thats the way it is, why are these men so dumb about what they get involved with? They must know they will eventually get busted for it! Poor Wiener's wife; not only is he a duche bag, he dosn't understand what turns a woman on!
Man, I must be REALLY out of it. I don't know who he is or what he did... That's what I get for not watching TV for several days.
It is laughable. Actually, it isn't funny at all. It is sad esp. when people say they don't care what they do in their private lives. Hmmm, would they say the same if it was their child's teacher?? Hey, just consenting adults having a little fun!
The man is a disgrace. He is an embarrassment. I'm sick of hearing about it but he is the one who caused this media mess and he could have stopped a lot of it by just being honest from the beginning.
