1. like YOU said nancy, let's leave it up to his constituents

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. So, who leaned on her?

[WillyT]

5. Oh I Can Think Of A Couple...

But that would be... speculation.

:shrug:

[Cid_B]

9. Wiener did when he plastered his crotch on the internet and then lied when he was caught...

Wherever have you been...? :shrug:

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Been here all along...

where I read first Nancy seemed to support the guy, then stated there would be an internal look at the issue, and now is telling him to leave.
As I said, who made her change her mind?

[Renew Deal]

15. Reality most likely

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Donors?

Just a hunch.

[ClarkUSA]

3. She said that before knowing Weiner PMed a minor and may have done so with others.

Cherrypicking what Pelosi said is a bit useless at this point. Come Monday, you'll see exactly why.

[Broderick]

21. Monday?

What's on tap for Monday? More disappointment?

[Morning Dew]

4. When I hear that Dem."leaders" want him out

I'm more inclined to have him stay.

[Deep13]

6. Help? He's not sick, you know.

You'd think he'd be getting help from his own caucus, but apparently only Rs can count on that.

[KittyWampus]

8. yeah, he definitely has some kind of disorder.

[EFerrari]

14. As unusual as it may seem, having a spine is not a disorder. n/t

[Renew Deal]

16. Having a hard on in public may be

:blush:

[EFerrari]

19. I'm not going to have that conversation with you.

Maybe time to check in with a parent or mentor. :)

[Renew Deal]

44. lol

:pals:

[WillyT]

23. + 1,000,000,000... What You Said !!!

A rarity in the Democratic Party, but NOT a disorder.

:shrug:

:hi:

[cali]

34. but obsessively spending hours and hours sexting with women he doesn't know,

when he should be actually working, could well be a disorder.

[Deep13]

41. But he did know them.

Granted, he may have only known them as internet friends, but it's not like his texts were cold calls.

[LadyHawkAZ]

28. +1

I have a sneaking suspicion that if he'd been texting men instead of women, he'd be getting some of the tolerance he deserves instead of being smeared as mentally ill.

[kelly1mm]

33. Apparently he thinks he needs help and wants a leave of absence now. nt

[Deep13]

42. Oh for gawd sake.

:eyes:

Is he going to go to some kind of dick rehab and come out in a couple months all "cured?"

[RandomThoughts]

7. Answer this.

If they think he should resign becuase he 'needs help' then why are they using the tactics of the sexual sadist to try and smear him?

It is his choice, but do you want paparazzi and smear merchants to rule the world?


If they had some reason for him to resign, shouldn't that have been the story? Not some story using smear out of perspective and out of proportion used against the weakness of society by there desire to gossip.







Although the discussion is not about him, although it is about how people want society to be ran, and what methods should be used to run society.

I think justice and compassion, with transparent information systems works out better then smear merchants.

10. ok i'm new to twitter

how do i go tell her she's playing right into the republicans' hands? i'm so pissed i could cry right now. this pressure shouldn't be coming from the left!

[EFerrari]

12. Put #Pelosi in your post. That will call up your post

when her aides scan twitter.

[EFerrari]

20. I checked and her acct is @NancyPelosi. n/t

[EFerrari]

11. Where did Nancy get her medical degree?

24. Same place she got her mechanic's degree, it seems.

When she decided under the bus was not good enough for Bush, but is good enough for Weiner.

[EFerrari]

26. Homeless, jobless Americans everywhere must be so happy Nancy is protecting them

from Anthony Weiner's tweets.

[leftstreet]

43. +1

[DCBob]

13. Wow, she is saying he has an addiction problem...

which he most likely does... but that's really harsh in a public statement. I suspect Weiner was not giving into private urging so perhaps thats why all these pointed public statements.

[bahrbearian]

25. Are you putting that on the Table Nancy?

Like we should listen to you, Pelosi.

[TheKentuckian]

27. Mrs "Impeachment is off the table" has fucked up priorities and bad judgment.

She is just a pol with a finger in the wind and little principle.

[Lionessa]

29. Nancy, I've thought to date that you were out best Dem leader

in Washington. You are wrong here for a couple of reasons. AW may or may not have a problem that needs "help" and you are not qualified to decide. Secondly, even if he has a problem of that magnitude, it hasn't hindered his ability to strongly and firmly, more strongly and firmly than most Dems, ... strongly and firmly defend and promote traditional Dem values.

[blogslut]

30. palomino

[canoeist52]

31. So... they've opted for the KGB solution.

Wondered when they'd get to that. If you're against the "Corporate Party" you must be insane.

[woo me with science]

32. Nancy, you are making a fool of yourself. nt

[cali]

35. not at all. she's being the same shrewd politician she's always been.

[woo me with science]

38. I disagree. When a Speaker of the House advises therapy to a Congressman who twittered his wiener,

we have entered the pathetic zone.

She has every right to pull him aside and ask him to resign if she decides his behavior is politically damaging, but IMO this "seek help" statement was just embarrassing.

[woo me with science]

37. Delete nt

[Marr]

36. Party Establishment Politician Defends Party Establishment

This position comes from the same mental process that took impeachment "off the table" and acquiesced to a thousand other right-wing agenda items. Pelosi will defend a colleague until she perceives it to be a political drag on others. If defending that colleague seems, from her perspective, a net loss, she will cease defending them.

Not exactly shocking.

[Peacetrain]

39. He says he is going into treatment.. and is taking a leave of absence

[loyalsister]

40. Now that is an insult to people who have mental illness

Irresponsibility, arrogance, and stupidity are not symptoms of any kind of illness. They do however point to questions regarding credibility and in this case honesty. Everything he has done to follow getting caught has been calculated and deliberate.

[cigsandcoffee]

45. What a creepy, sideways way of saying it. n/t
