Bill Maher is reading Weiner's sexting conversations
They're bad. Really bad.

Not even funny.

Weiner needs to go. He's lost all credibility.

8. Many people text a lot. I do with several friends.
It's not interesting enough to post but I wouldn't call it bad.

13. But do you sextext? It's the evolution of phone sex
Texting and sextext are 2 different animals IMHO

24. Phone sex is essentially a fantasy. It's masturbation with an interactive component.
And all of us more than familiar with masturbation.

For those who say they aren't familiar with it, like they said when I was in the service about masturbation: There are those who do and those who lie and say they don't.

45. Except the players are not imagined, and in this case they were not strangers
in the sense that most people understand the sense of the word.

When I was a little kid, my parents were CB hobbyists. Even though they never physically met dozens of the people they interacted with, through their interactions, they came to regard each other as people they knew, and some as friends.

AW had intimate, repeated, personal exchanges with these persons.

10. "First, I'm going to hook up the fucksaw to the battery charger.
Then, in three hours, once it's done charging, I'm going to replace the blade with a clone-a-willie fucksaw edition of my d***. It took two of them to accurately model it. Honestly, you're going to think you're giving birth to my d***. When all is said and done, you're going to want to cuddle it, take pictures of it, and buy it baby clothes. Sweetie, you're even going to want to work an extra job, just to send my d*** to college."

It may not be good, but at least it's original. :P

6. I think that you are confusing "up tight" with mature and evolved.
So Weiner's not a pervert, he's an immature, sad, weak man. I guess you may be right. We need lots more of him in Congress.

17. This isn't about me.
I'm not in Congress.

I'm also not uptight.

You can say what Weiner did was legal and not offensive (to you) all you want. The problem is what he did WAS offensive to many people. That's my point. And because it is offensive to so many, he's no longer an effective leader.

I defended him until I saw the graphic pictures and read the texts he was sending to women he not only didn't know but also had no way of knowing how old they were. He's a pervert. And I'd rather not have perverts as elected officials.

Weiner left himself open to be caught...but I bet there are plenty of others..some form or other..

And if they are as careless as Weiner, they'll get caught too.

33. Is that going to help our country get over its sophmoric attitudes towards sex?
Most of us would be embarrassed if our sexual antics were scrutinized to the excruciating detail of this.

And do we want to reward Breitbart sleaze tactics?

38. If he'd sent that stuff to his wife, nobody would care
But when you're married, and start sexting other women...then do such a crappy job of sexting, on top of it all...that's when you became reviled and a laughingstock.

And you make a good point--Wiener didn't know how old these young women were.

His lack of good judgment is astounding.

51. yes, I think you're right
And I hadn't realized till now that my repulsion is based entirely on the fact that pictures of his bits and pieces were sent to a woman not his wife. If they had been sent to his wife, I'd be just as "ew" but also "but it's their business and their business alone." Which it still is. But I kind of have a thing for fidelity, so the fact that he sent that stuff to strangers is kind of off-putting in a way that it wouldn't be if he weren't married.

I would be willing to entertain proposals that my views on fidelity aren't necessarily the ne plus ultra of judgment on what is and isn't okay. Still... Ew.

5. the only time it is ever any good
is if at least one of the parties is a skilled erotic writer. Since most people can't write to save their lives, the whole enterprise is usually laughable.

12. Because he's not a creative writer?
And I don't know what you were watching but I just howled. Whole show was funny as hell.

Although, I admit that I was shocked at the Justin Timberlake sequence. Anyone who is okay with kids watching that does need to shut the fuck up about Anthony. My God, that was creepy!

15. Whatever he does with his sex life is his business
I really don't care about his sex life, only what he does for WE THE PEOPLE.

You know he probably doesn't affect you, however the CEO of your insurance company does. Do you want to know all about his/her sex life?


LEAVE WEINER ALONE! This whole thing is a RepubliCON plot to get rid of him. By calling for his removal, you are playing right into their hands!

49. What bothers me about his messages is not the juvenile sexual content
but this:
"Please understand i am a very important man <emphasis added>. I’m always busy but i promise i will make time for you soon! Don’t the pictures I send keep you satisfied?"

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/weiner_messages_to_teenage_girl_Jt3NbDrlaUp0ZpmlgGMplI#ixzz1OwYzpN5g
This whole mess is based on that one presumptuous assumption--which I am sure he shares with all his colleagues, who consider themselves so much more important than the "little people" whom they supposedly represent and serve.

No wonder he couldn't keep it in his pants. He was just too damned big for his britches.

But unless he broke a law, I don't think should resign.

That's why he needs to go, and ASAP!
