Rep. Weiner, just resign you fucking asshole liar.

[sadaist]

I really don't care who has sex with who as long as it doesn't affect me. I don't care if you send dirty pics, have a wide stance, or spooge on a chicks dress after poking her with a cigar. It's not a crime. The only ones who have the right to be upset are the spouses.

And I totally understand lying about it. Hell, I cheated on a girlfriend way back when and I lied my motherfucking ass off to get away with it.

But when you CHOOSE a life in the public eye, you have to restrain yourself. You have to know everything & anything is fair game. Celebrities & politicians gave away their right to have a private life the second they chose the spotlight. Yeah, it kinda sucks for them. But then again, they knew the deal going in.

ALL men are pigs. The only thing that truly separates the cheaters from the non-cheaters is opportunity. Don't argue with me on that one. If some awesome Hooters girl offered to suck your dick after your chicken wings and you knew no one would ever find out...no strings attached....your dick would be in her mouth faster than you can say "honey, I'm gonna be home a bit late from work".

But seriously. 535 people (435 congress & 100 senate) running the US government out of 300,000,000+ of us or so? And we can't find 535 people that can keep it in their pants for however long their term is? Bunch of horny motherfuckers we are. I blame the MTV.

Next inauguration I'm gonna listen real close to see if "I'd hit it" is part of any oath of office.

With a name like Wiener, I believed the hack story. I have not followed the story much. I have not even seen the pics. But when I first heard that he had been hacked and wiener pictures came out that seemed very plausible. And lulzy especially given what's in the news lately.

[Hardrock69]

Yeah.....forgot to mention his lying about it all. He is just another fucking LIAR in Dee See. For that he should be ousted. Be hypocritical or corrupt all you want. But being caught in a lie is a no-no in Washington. Lying is perfectly fine there. But getting caught at it is unacceptable.

[Jagermeister]

You're an idiot, Brie. Briebart has even less credibility than you do (which puts him squarely in the negative numbers, since you have zero).

Chef summed it up nicely. It's much ado about nothing, typical Repuke smear bullshit.

Actually as we all know he fessed up.

[Carloscda]

Now this guy right here along with Darrell Issa needs to go!! This is the same guy that was pushing for President Obama to be impeached on some BS??!!

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Tom Coburn played a more active role than previously known in the negotiations between ex-Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) and his former aide, Doug Hampton. The extent of the Oklahoma Republican's involvement is made clear in a report released Thursday by the Senate Ethics Committee that accuses the former senator of serious criminal violations.

Ensign resigned from the Senate earlier this month, but had admitted in 2009 to having an affair with Cynthia Hampton -- a past campaign aide and the wife of Doug Hampton. During a two-year inquiry into possible violations by Ensign, the Senate Ethics Committee found that he violated campaign finance laws and obscured justice to cover-up his affair.

Coburn, a friend of Ensign’s who confronted him about the adultery, became involved as an intermediary in negotiations between Ensign and Doug Hampton. The former aide sought money from Ensign in spring 2009. Coburn negotiated the payment to Doug Hampton down from $8 million to about $2.8 million, according to the report.

The Oklahoma Republican's involvement in the cover-up of the affair could lead to uncomfortable questions for the senator and his party going forward. While Ensign left the Senate hastily last week, Coburn remains an active figure.

The report provides extensive details of the Coburn's collaboration. He spoke to Hampton’s attorney, Daniel Albregts, three times on May 22, 2009, to discuss money Ensign planned to give the Hamptons. Coburn first said he wanted to “help Doug out” because he liked him and felt bad about what had happened, the report says. The Oklahoma Republican asked Albregts to find out what Hampton needed to start over.

According to the report, Albregts called about an hour later, interrupting Coburn from mowing his lawn on a tractor. The lawyer told the senator that Hampton had proposed $8 million to resettle his family and find a new job. Albregts told the Ethics Committee that Coburn countered, calling the figure “absolutely ridiculous.” Instead, Coburn reportedly said the Ensigns should purchase the Hampton’s home and give them some money to live off of while they looked for new jobs.

In a third call, Albregts proposed payments for the Hamptons of $1.2 million for their home and $1.6 million for relocation, the report says. During that five-minute call, Coburn said he thought that was reasonable and that he would take the request to Ensign. The former senator from Nevada, however, refused to pay that total.

Coburn denied that he served as a negotiator when he testified for the report, but acknowledged he spoke to Hampton’s attorney, Albregts, in May 2009. The Oklahoma Republican told the Ethics Committee that he was simply planning to pass along information to Ensign.

In 2008, the senator was one of the men to confront Ensign about ending his affair with Cynthia Hampton, according to the report. Cobburn, along with C Street Christian fellowship's evangelical leaders Tim Coe, David Coe and Marty Sherman, talked to Ensign and Doug Hampton at their group house on February 14, 2008. The Coes and Sherman are involved with The Family, a Christian group the C Street House is affiliated with.

“Senator Ensign was told that the affair had to stop,” the report says. “Mr. Hampton was very emotional during the meeting, and at one point got very close to a physical confrontation with Senator Ensign. Senator Coburn asked Mr. Hampton to leave, stating 'we’ll take it from here. We'll take care of this.'”

Eventually, Tim Coe went to the ex-senator's father, Michael Ensign, to stop the affair. Tim Coe reportedly said that Coburn “was not big enough” for the job. The elder Ensign said he would handle it, according to the report.

Coburn staged a second intervention for the Nevada politician about a month after the Feb. 14, 2008 talks.

“Senator Coburn stated, ‘I can’t take this anymore. I’ve got to tell these guys.’ Mr. Sherman and others, including Members of Congress, went to Senator Ensign’s bedroom at the C Street Center and confronted him about the affair,” the report says. The adulterous relationship continued until later that year.

When the affair ended, Coburn was part of the “team” that discussed relocating the Hamptons to Colorado and providing them with money for their transition, the report says.

“According to Mr. Coe, 'Doug was more confident talking to Senator Coburn about finances than he was us,' and Mr. Hampton thought Senator Coburn 'could deliver John’s father,' who was wealthy,” the report says. “Senator Coburn played a 'support role,' and encouraged Senator Ensign to consider the plans developed by Mr. Coe and others regarding transition and separation.”

Ensign’s father eventually gave the Hamptons $96,000 as a gift, which Ethics Committee charges was in violation of campaign finance laws.

You still don't realize Clinton/Lewinsky was about perjury lying to the American people, huh?

You still don't realize that Clinton never legally lied, huh?

Sexual relations, under the definition Ken $tarr was using, did not include blowjobs, so while Clinton's statement could be called misleading, even intentionally so, it was not legally a lie, and therefore not perjury.

Clinton should have simply replied "I don't remember", over and over again. It certainly worked wonders for Ronald Reagan during the Iran/Contra trial of John Poindexter.

[Seshmeister]

Reagan could really sell that though.

When he said he couldn't remember something you really believed him.

As far as the Weiner thing goes apart from it being incredibly easy comedy fodder it's a nothing story apart from a politician making a bit of a fool of himself.

I'm watching Fox just now and they are talking like a fucking puritan lynch mob.

Ludicrous and a little scary.

[jhale667]

Actually as we all know he fessed up.

It's still idiotic that it was ever even an issue. So he lied - about sending a picture that wasn't obscene, just tasteless. Yipee. And Brie's still an idiot, so I'm still right. You know who should give a shit about this? His wife. End of discussion.

[Seshmeister]

I think his wife will be out of her huff and forgiven him long before Bill O`Reilly has got over it.

[FORD]

She's a Muslim and he's Jewish. If they can get past that, they can probably get through anything.

[sadaist]

She's a Muslim and he's Jewish.

So can't she just kill him for being an infidel?
