Reid On Weiner: ‘I Wish I Could Defend Him But I Can’t’

[kpete]

..........Reid made it clear he was not going to stand up for Weiner, who was until very recently one of the most popular Democrats among the party faithful.

"I know Congressman Weiner," Reid said. "I wish there was someway I could defend him but I can't."

Reid declined repeated questions about whether or not Weiner should resign. Reid again dodged when asked by TPM what he tell Weiner to do if he asked him.

"Call somebody else," Reid said.

1. Don't worry about it, he will be fine.

And I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

2. Are you asking us

if you're due beer and travel money or telling us?

[RandomThoughts]

7. I would not need to ask you that.

It is a due. That is pretty obvious.

Although I am not telling you as in needing you to know it. I am stating it becuase it is true, when you choose to know it, or not, that is your choice. And does not effect the fact that I am due beer and travel money.

I am asserting it as a fact, it is also built over years of thought on topics, so it is a macro for much thought on a topic.

Since the thoughts were constructed and built over many years, it is easier to just say the phrase, to assert that the world should be more just and compassionate, and the material fact, that I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

Why would I ask someone about that? If the fact that I was due beer and travel money was not established years ago, I would not be stating it many times.

[Uncle Joe]

9. Well that sounds logical to me and I agree the world should be more just and compassionate.

Peace to you on your discovery path, may you obtain your due of beer, travel money and experiences.:hi:

3. But Reid could say- Look folks, it's really none of our business.

What he did was stupid, however, it was not illegal.

He could also have commented on Britebart's blackmailing of Mr. Wiener. Why is he allowed to get away with it? The threat to show more photos (implied that it was Mr. Wiener's naked member) if Mr Wiener didn't do as Britebart wanted (which was apologize). Britebart should be investigated for blackmail. No one should be able to get away with blackmailing a congressperson.

I swear democrats aren't too smart when it comes to standing up and fighting back.

4. We don't know if Weiner did anything illegal. He may have used state phone, or corresponded

with underage girls.

5. Or Weiner could be investigated for making false accusations

He did say that his account was hacked and accused Britebart wrongfully and intentionally.

Sorry but Weiner should go. He is an idiot.

[notadmblnd]

8. No, he should not go.

They shut him up for the time being, which is what I suspect this was all about. Most of the events occurred before he was married and I feel that it is an issue between him and his wife.

I don't have a problem seeing a man in his underpants. Speedos however, are another story. Pick up a paper or a magazine, there are men underwear ads everywhere! Abercrombie and Fitch ads are worse that what we saw of congressman Wiener. I'm not gonna deny that I look at the male models junk. How can you?

Millions of people do what he did on the internet. No, laws were broken, he fessed up

6. Get real. The man is a slime ball. It is time to resign.

10. Is Sen. Reid being asked to defend Rep. Weiner?

Seems like a bit of a silly errand to ask someone in the Senate what they think of someone in the House.

[musette_sf]

12. gee thanks Harry

**I** wish Nancy and you would have gone after Bu$hCo - there is NO way to defend THAT.

War crimes - FREE PASS

Dem consenting adult S*E*X - OH NOES!!11!

:nuke:

[struggle4progress]

13. Reid's in the Senate. Why would anyone expect him to comment on a House member?

[krabigirl]

14. Why should I care about patriot-act pushing Reid? Meh.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Reid has a busy schedule defending lost wars and corporate bailouts.

[Left coast liberal]

16. They are asking the wrong guy. Ask someone like Paul Ryan.

Do you think he has ever sent any photos of his heralded "abs" to anyone.

Whoops!

[K8-EEE]

17. Nor can I....the more I think about it the more furious I get

I defended him for days just simply think he CAN'T BE THAT STUPID. But he is.
