I don't understand the Weiner controversy. What's the problem here?
Even if he did it, which looks increasingly unlikely, what's wrong with sending dirty pictures to 21 year old women?

1. The way I understand it people are upset because weiners come in packs of 8 and buns in packs of 10.
Meaning 2 buns get totally wasted. Or something like that.

3. I haven't seen hotdogs in a 10 pack in years. I usually it's an eight pack of either 1.5 or 2 oz...
sausages.

4. That's because
loaves outnumbered fishes by a 5:4 ratio.

5. The first half of your post is serious in tone. Is the second half the joke part?
Because: 'tain't funny, Magee. AW is married.

9. If sending pictures of my genitals to 21 year old women is wrong, I don't want to be right.
If being right means being without them, I'd rather live a wrong, wrong life.
Their mamas and daddis say it's a shame, it's a downright disgrace.
As long as I got the 21 year old women by my side, I don't care what their people say.
Their friend tell them it's no future in loving a married man.
If I can't see em when I want, I'll see em when I can.

6. While I am sure that most male DUers send pictures of their erect penises to young women
on a regular basis, apparently there is a prudish element out there that frowns on this kind of thing. And the problem for elected politicians like Weiner is that these prudes are allowed to vote just like normal people are.

16. I know! It's stupid, right?
I mean, people who have an opinion differing from yours should totally not be allowed to live in this country. Or vote.

18. If they don't like sexually explicit photographs, then they should not look at them.
They should also mind their own business.

22. That whole "freedom to give a shit about whatever one chooses to" thing is such a bitch.
Politicians generally apply for their jobs by telling us all what swell, up-standing folks they are. Pillars of the community even. Insert erection joke here. If it truly doesn't matter, I guess he'll have no trouble at all running on the "bulging underwear" ticket in the next election.

27. Their medieval prudish mentality has no business in our modern society.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 08:38 AM by JVS
They should leave.

11. Just because nobody has asked doesn't mean they wouldn't like you to send them one.

12. The right wing smear machine
Is trying to make it seem probable saying AW is arrogant. They hate him because he is just that good.

14. I don't see the issue here. John Dingell Sexts me 3 or 4 times a week.
Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 11:12 AM by leeroysphitz
It's one way for the Dingells and Weiners of the world to stay in touch with "the base".

19. Are we birds?
Is there a misunderstanding among men regarding the female's need or expectation to be subjected to display behavior?

23. A grave misunderstanding, I fear. Do the get the idea from each other? Porns? I don't know.
But clue - guys - this is SO NOT a turn-on to most women.

20. Theres no problem
Just the known lying sack Brietbart spreading more lies. I don't understand why he's allowed to lie though. Isn't that illegal?

25. Remember GOP Rep. Chris Lee of NY-26?
Picture of him half-dressed that he sent to someone other than his wife surfaced one day and virtually the next day he resigned his seat in Congress.
