Finally.

Just got an alert from WaPo: ā€œAnthony Weiner just blew his second chance at a second chanceā€

Good to see that double entendres are not a thing of the past.

At the risk of being shallow – and I realize this probably isn’t relevant, but Huma is also a very beautiful woman.

Perhaps Weiner should have stuck it out no matter how long it was. I know that it would be hard, but I think that the public would be able to get a firm grip on it after a while. It is a huge and throbbing issue, and now that it’s been uncovered we should all just move along and hope other members don’t get exposed in the same manner.
Does this mean that social media isn’t a good thing? No, it just means regulations can be limp and if you don’t use it responsiblĀ­y there might be stiff penalties for your actions.

Breitbart probably IS the bottom of it…

Especially those penalties lasting more than 4 hours.

I have nothing to add to the personal tragedy at the heart of Weiner’s problems leading to their separation…only to say, its tragic and Huma Abedin is doing what she must…and probably for the better, for the both of them.

I just find it remarkable that someone like Trumptastic twitter user, who regularly embarrasses himself daily with an abundance of inappropriate tweets, and who has known associations with Russian mobsters and Putin’s oligarchs, has the nerve to criticize anyone for endangering national security in this country, and showing such poor judgement himself on a regular basis…That I believe, makes any statement from him, fucking ironic to say the least…but par for the course, as usual.

I’d say about time…

HO doesn’t ride horses, he fluffs them.

Trump is already tweeting about how Hillary is responsible for letting Weiner have access to state secrets—even though no such thing has occurred.

Good for her for recognizing his shortcomings.
He used to represent the district adjacent to mine in congress. His staff was attentive when it came to constituent service, a trait he learned from his mentor Schumer and his tenure on the city council.
Back in 2005 when he was running for mayor I ran into him at a candidate forum. I asked him a question about transit, particularly rail which is my profession. He gave me a perfunctory answer. He also expressed his distain for bike lanes which are now quite useful and popular.
But what struck me as part of his stump speech was his insistence upon applying Jack Welch management methods to government. Basically cutting unprofitable or useless divisions. What does this mean? Fewer fires, cut the fire department? Bizarre. Maybe his pundit card ought to be revoked as well.

Because we know if huma had balls then she wouldn’t leak sensitive info. She would just be doing her job.

Typically, Cheeto Jesus goes full on crazy. He’s hoping for Profumo-like significance but its more like B-movie junk.

Hey Tony, bubala, you need to go to a real rehab for at least 100 days. You’re a junkie and no one should ever turn their back on a junkie.

Yes, The Guardian is on my daily reads list!

Yeah, TPM, bury this story quickly.

The (conservative) Telegraph has also done some good investigative journalism re HO. Dislike of HO seems to reach across party lines there.

Yes, I check in occasionally there too, as I try to get from both sides, just to have an idea what’s hot in the opposing camp. Also, my husband keeps me supplied with articles from Die Zeit and Sueddeutscher just to round stuff out…

We have now moved to the unfortunate phase of life where farce moves to tragedy.
