You sure about that? There are reports out there that he used congressional phone lines to talk to these women and might have offered services of his congressional staffers to give the **** star he was talking to PR help when he was trying to coverup the story. He is held to a higher standard then you and me, he needs to do the right thing and resign, like so many other Congressmen in similar situations have before him.

You must have missed the first 8 days of coverage when they were covering for him by either hardly reporting it or trying to say it was a BS story made up by Andrew Breibart and that we all should move along.

My assumptions about the MSM aren't assumptions at all, there facts. The vast majority of the MSM has a liberal bias and covers these types of stories differently when the person involved has a (D) in front of their name as opposed to an (R).

He did something stupid and lied about it. I would hope that someone that is a congressman would have a little more smarts and be able to think more than 2 steps ahead of what they do.

Also just the way he speaks to other people and his venomous attitude, he deserves to get stepped on.

on a positive note there are some hilarious jokes going around. One guy on the radio said that he was pretty well hung if he was a prepubescent teen. Another guy said that in his state of arousal had he walked into the wall he would have hit with his nose first.

And so true about the constituants of charly rangle. what idiots.

And fox news has an obvious conservative bias?

The "MSM" did cover it those 8 days they all were asking questions about why he couldnt say it was him or not.

At least he can stand up and take questions about what he did. He's the only one on the democrat's side that has a spine!

Yep got me there One news outlet that doesn't have a obvious liberal bias, what about all the rest that do? Why are you so protective of them like they are any better? So its okay for 95% of the media and newspapers to have a liberal bias? but OMG FAUX NEWS!!! THEY AREN"T A REAL NEWS CHANNEL! They somehow aren't legit but you and the other lefties never seem to be outraged about the rest, I am sure your own liberal bias doesn't have anything to do with that, right?

There is a reason Fox News kills them in the ratings. People are generally getting fed up with the rest.

Educate yourself as to how it was really covered. Pages and pages of examples of them covering for him or spinning it or blaming it on Breibart.

Lets see where did I EVER SAY that Fox News is not REAL news? You can not find me saying it ever because the only thing I say about Fox is that there is an OBVIOUS conservative bias, just like MSNBC and a vast ammount of other channels having a liberal viewpoint.

Yes I can see people being fed up with liberal viewpoints, but what I think about their high ratings is that they are the only hardcore conservative network. I'll say among the general population, at least 40% of people Identify with the Republican party. So what channel will they watch? Fox, because its the channel that is more geared towards to their political beliefs, really its the only one.

All I know is that I watched Dylan Ratigan and he and his little panel were all questioning Weiners way of handling it, or saying "I don't know if the photo is of me or not."

You fall into one of the typical biases. Liberal and conservative is not synonymous with Democrat and Republican. Over 50% of the US self identifies as conservative. This is a conservative country, much to the chagrin of the liberals among us. If you want to get a good idea of the government in this country read Animal Farm by George Orwell. It is uncanny the similarities between the pigs and the liberals in this country.

Well thats why I said at least 40%

Yeah, your right, no one even knows all the details. I guess it's going to be a while until we know what he did/did not do.

We're all equal, just some are more equal than others.

Great book! I might need to read it again.

Down here we would say you're "crawfishin' ". Pick your stance and stick with it. Unless you're a congress critter and don't recognize your own wee man. Then it's just business as usual.

I really don't see what the big stink is about. When you're a progressive (D), this kind of thing is a resume enhancement.
