The best things Weiner can do are. . .

[wndycty]

+Call Brietbart's bluff and tell him to go ahead and release that other pic, or better yet do it himself.

+Once its released he should go right ahead and start swinging back. Also, he needs to call out Brietbart for trying to blackmail him.

+He needs to make one hell of a floor speech calling out Clarence Thomas

+He needs to hit the campaign trail and connect with folks from New York's 9th CD, after all outside of his wife, they are the only ones who can stand in judgment of him.

1. What's he gonna do about Nancy Pelosi? If he did all that "maybe"

he would stand a chance but now that Nancy has called for a probe, all that would be for naught, imho.

[wndycty]

2. Well what will they probe? If he did not violate House rules or break any laws. . .

. . .there is nothing she can do.

If the House will probe Anthony Weiner because he is a freak, let them line up.

[Little Star]

6. I don't really know but I would imagine....

things like sexting from work or maybe on taxpayer bought equipment? Who knows. I just know she has called for some kind of investigation.

[MikeW]

8. if he used government equipment for his perv pics

He's done.

Any fed employee would be shown the door the same day.

They have similar ethics rules for use of gov. equipment.

3. Maybe he can show her his "junk" too and if she's impressed, she will call off the investigation?

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

4. Exactly. And we've got to get with the program.

Every time someone stands up for the actual public welfare in this country, they get mowed down in one way or another. We can accept that or we can fight back.

[CrispyQ]

5. Your third point is especially important. --nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. Look, I LOVE the guy's politics. Especially with Grayson out, we don't have many (any) fist pumpers

left of that collective caliber.

That said, there are allegations that one/some of his sexting 'partner(s)' are minors. The problem is that Rep Weiner has as much of a clue about the truth to that as do you or I. I firmly believe that this is the reason he called the press conference yesterday - not threats of nekkid dick photos, but of allegations that some of his FWBs lied about their age and he didn't bother to check it out.

Time will tell, but for now, best he keep both the big and little heads down and let the storm pass.

9. Wednesday morning kick

:kick:

[Renew Deal]

10. "the folks"

:rofl:

[Cid_B]

11. What was the blackmail part? eom

[wndycty]

12. Brietbart claims to have an X-rated photo of Weiner that he is threatening to release. . .

. . .if Weiner talks shit about him.

[Cid_B]

17. Link?

I ask only because the google news goes boom if you even enter the vowels in Weiner's name...

[wndycty]

19. Here you go

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/06/andrew-breitbart-anthony-weiner-x-rated-photo-/1

-snip-
Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger who first reported on the lewd photo of Rep. Anthony Weiner, said he has an X-rated picture of the Democratic congressman that he's keeping as "an insurance policy" against any reprisals.

23. Well.. there went that one....

[NightWatcher]

13. what he needs to do is take himself out of the spotlight by resigning

Clarence Thomas what, says the Weiner guy.
He'll only be remembered as the sext message guy.

Remember Elliot Spitzer and all that good work he did? oh no, he's just the whore monger


He needs to get out of the way so that another Dem can run and people can all put this behind them. He's damaged goods, dont let him hang around and tarnish the upcoming election cycle

[edhopper]

15. NY 9th District voter here

I want him to stay.

[wndycty]

20. And at the end of the day your opinion matters more than other DUers. . .

. . .who he does not represent.

[edhopper]

24. Thanks!!

You bet your damn ass it does.

[RoadRage]

18. +100000

[gratuitous]

14. 1. Ignore any advice from the party of Nixon, Colson, North, Poindexter, Casey, Cheney, Bush, Vitter

, Foley, Abrams, Gorsuch, Watt, Canary, Gingrich, Livingston, Hoover (both of them), T Rump, Palin . . . you get the idea.

[Dreamer Tatum]

16. I don't think anyone should assume Breitbart is bluffing.

I know, that's HERESY, but only Weiner knows what the guy might have.

And notice the silence since Monday.

[Solomon]

21. Well, he certainly shouldn't encourage further investigation.

That's for sure.

[Cid_B]

22. Breitbart has no reason to bluff...

Is there anyone out there who thinks that Weiner would show such poor judgement as to talk sex, mail random pics of himself to random women but would somehow draw the line at that? Of course not...
