Weiner blows career, refuses to withdraw.


*** A preemptive (No Homer, not that there's anything wrong with that) on this entire post, due to all the Weiner references.***

I figure it was a sign from God. His way of telling me to get off my ass and write something. I'm driving along I 35 yesterday, middle of bumfuck cow country, when I see the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile in the south bound lanes. True story. I was flipping the radio between Limbaugh and NPR, no wonder I'm all fucked the fuck up, and the main story on both ends of the spectrum was the big Weiner mess. Rush was clowning on the guy pretty hard, while Terry Gross or some other NPR voice was assuring me that it was a small thing being blown out of proportion. Look, I could go on all day with these double entendres, but I don't want to be accused of milking this thing for all it's worth, or beating it to death.

Twitter. When are people going to figure out that Twitter is not Latin for      " Turn my life into a soup sandwich".  In the case of the Weiner he didn't intentionally post the photo of his beans and frank encased in plum smuggler drawers. His intent was to send his wood shot to some facebook college chica. None of that matters because one misplaced slip of the send button landed dude in deep shit. His career is over, probably his marriage too. It may take a few weeks or months, but you can bet your ass this thing isn't going to end well for Weiner.  It's only a matter of time before some fame whore comes out of the wood work exposing a sordid affair or some super freaky pictures.

With all of the attention this  Weiner thing is getting, it is a glaring example of just how twisted shit is in Washington. Unemployment is up. Obama is juggling 3 wars, don't try to convince me we aren't at war in Libya. The economy sucks balls. Impoverished urban areas across the country are war zones. The middle east has turned into one giant malevolent flash mob. And the top story is about some moron sending pics of his joint to facebook friends. Congratulations, we have become a perpetual 3 minute TMZ sound byte.

    Going to Hell in a handbag and all the good Citizens are hooked on that Government Cheese and Sleaze.

    Trying fix this runaway wreck we call America is hard, hard work. Unfortunately the ones we've chosen to work on this have no desire to tackle the problems. Let's just feed at the public trough and let the lobbyist and Big Business run the joint. We'll concentrate on running other peoples lives since we are so much superior.

    I'm old enough and been around the block enough to know if your first instinct is to lie when you are caught being ate up by the dumb-ass, you are most likely to end up like Weiner and Clinton and Sanford and Ensign. A lie is as good as the truth as long as you get some to buy into it.

    And with that cosmic alignment with the Weiner and the Mobile, well I may have to rethink my heathen ways. Whatever keep these tales coming.

  2. And when it comes right down to it, who really cares or is all that surprised that this guy tried to use his position to get laid? If I was a senator or a congressman or (gawd forbid) president, I would never sleep alone. but then, I would run my campaign on that premise from the start. "Me? I'm in it for the money and the sex!"

  7. Oh and reputedly we're also bombing Syria so that would make 5 little skirmishes (wars?).
