Video - Rep Anthony Weiner Resigns

Rep Anthony Weiner has been under enormous pressure this week as pundits called for his resignation.

And today he finally pulled the trigger and resigned.

President Obama said earlier in the week that Weiner had embarrassed himself and should step down.

The media has been insisting he quit his job.

There was even pressure from inside his own party urging him to quit after his twitter sex scandal and subsequent semi-nude photos from the Congressional gym and locker room appeared.

After announcing he was seeking treatment – for what we’re not sure, and waiting for his wife to return from an overseas trip with boss Hilary Clinton, the pressure became insurmountable.

Today, Anthony Weiner resigned. He quit his job.

Weiner held a press conference in Brooklyn New York to discuss the issue, and is now the third member of the U.S. Congress this year to step down because of a sex scandal. 



He reached his decision to resign after speaking with his wife, Huma Abedin, 35, and informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last night of his decision.

Saying he had become a distraction to his party, and citing the need for personal time to mend the broken relationship with his pregnant wife, he is leaving office immediately.

But did he really quit or was he fired?

If Weiner would not have left his post, the ensuing ethics hearings, legal wrangling, press coverage, emails, and personal attacks would have led to him being fired indirectly through an impeachment type scenario.

And then there were the cross dressing photos of him wearing a bra and women's lingerie - that probably didn't help.

He really had no choice.

Twitter has claimed its first political casualty.

Photo - Rep. Weiner Busted – New Photos Shoot Holes in His “Hacked” Twitter Theory

Update 2: More semi-nude photos of Weiner appear in the Congressional gym and locker room. 

Update: Watch Weiner's Washington DC Press Conference video

Poor Representative Anthony Weiner.

We really wanted to believe him.

After last week’s scandal involving a male crotch photo said to be sent from Representative Anthony Weiner’s twitter account to a young female, new photos and additional information has emerged that may shoot holes in his “hacked twitter account” theory.

The website BigGovernment broke the original story, and now it appears that the alleged crotch photo was sent using TweetDeck – the same utility that Weiner routinely used for his own use.

But today, several new photos appeared that put’s Weiner’s statement “I cannot say with certitude that’s not me in the photo…” into question.

New Photo Of Anthony Weiner Emerges

He can’t say the original crotch photo was not him because it appears there may be other pictures floating around.

In addition to the above photo, another photo showing Weiner sitting on his couch with his two cats had the caption ““Me and the pussys”.

Me and the pussys - note cats in background

Now we may now why he was not able to deny “with certitude” that the first photo was not him.Looks like Weinergate will not be going away anytime soon.

When are these politicians going to learn not to take pictures of their dick?

When will they learn to not record inappropriate phone conversations?

When will they learn not to lie?

I know we can never have a Government with total angels on staff, but why must they always fall prey to their own pride, ego, money and power?

Not to mention the time, money, and effort spent in the resulting cover ups.

It must be something in their DNA.

Photo – New Anthony Weiner Cross Dressing Photos Found - Busted.

Update: Anthony Weiner Resigns - Video

Rep Anthony Weiner just can’t catch a break.

After releasing a photo of his crotch over twitter, new photos emerged of him half naked in the Congressional gym and locker room.

Then there were the embarrassing emails between him and a female talking about oral sex and erections.

Then we found out his wife was pregnant with their first child.

And to top off Weiner’s epic fail, his coworkers on the hill, as well as President Obama, have called for him to resign.

Now, new photos have come to light from the National Enquirer of a cross dressing and oiled up teenage Weiner wearing women’s lingerie.

This may well be the final straw for poor Anthony.

We’ll post more photos as we find them.

This snowball just keeps rolling down hill, and frankly we are amazed Weiner is still able to walk down the street with a straight face.

Stephen Colbert Chimes in on Anthony Weiner’s Bulging Weiner Twitter Problem

Stephen Colbert is not one to run from controversy.

Even though Stephen considers US Representative Anthony Weiner a good friend, he couldn’t help but chime in on his friend’s current swelling Twitter problem.

After Weiner told CNN, “I can’t say with certitude that this is not a picture of me”, Colbert decided he would start sending his own photo’s to Twitter.

All day Thursday, Colbert sent funny, bizarre, grotesque pictures from the plant and animal world that he could not say with certitude were not part of his body.

Each Tweet included the hash tag #ivebeenhacked.



I guess with a name like Anthony Weiner it goes with the territory, but after having the opportunity to just sweep this problem under the rug he had to open his mouth and say he could not be certain if the picture on Twitter was of him or not.

When will these politicians learn?

Anyway, here are some samples that Colbert Tweeted today questioning his very anatomy.

 

Remember, Stephen can not say with certitude that these are not pictures of his body.

Even though Colbert was at sea for almost a week racing to Bermuda, it appears the salty air has not influenced his bulging humor.

Video - Anthony Weiner Admits “I Did it and it Was Mine” – Holds Press Conference

Oh my… say it isn’t so Rep Weiner.

Just moments ago Representative Anthony Weiner took to the podium in a Washington D.C. hotel and held a press conference.

Holding back tears, he told the country what we have heard so many times from so many politicians.

The scandal and cover-up.

This is how is went,

“I want to answer to some of the questions over the last 10 days and take full responsibility for my actions. I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people I care about the most and I’m deeply sorry…”

Sound familiar? How many times have Americans been drawn into a political cover up wanting desperately to believe their elected officials only to find out later it was all a lie - and then learn of the great time and effort spent in a cover-up.

Weiner continued,

“Last Friday I tweeted a photograph of myself as a joke to a young woman in Seattle. Once I posted it to twitter I panicked and took it down and said I’d been hacked. I then continued to stick to that story and that was a regrettable mistake.”

Okay, so he tweeted a picture of his dick to a young woman in Seattle. That’s bad…. but not Bill Clinton bad right?

Well, it gets worse. This will also be familiar to you as I know you have heard this before also.

Weiner starts to sob but continues,

“To be clear, the picture was of me and I sent it. I’m deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife and family.”

And then of course he drops the bombshell, the thing that makes a little cover-up a big problem.

He confesses,

“In addition, over the last several years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations over twitter, Facebook, email and occasionally the phone with women I have met online. I’ve exchanged photos and messages of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. I haven’t told the truth and I’ve done things I deeply regret.”

Okay, now the tears start to really flow as he admits that most of the communication happened before his marriage, but some also took place after his marriage.

He continued,

“I have brought pain to those that trusted me the most and believed in me - and for that I’m deeply sorry.”

Wow.

So there it is - the anatomy of a cover-up. We’ve seen it before and sadly, I’m sure we’ll see it again.

Congrats to twitter for bringing down their first corrupt politician.

Photo – More Anthony Weiner Semi-Nude Photos Emerge From Congressional Gym and Locker Room

Poor Anthony Weiner.

You would think with a last name like that the LAST thing he would do is get involved in a scandal involving his…. well, you know…

You would think that someone in Washington would have more sense than to take a picture of his wiener and send it to a twitter follower.

But after an already scandalous week where Mr. Weiner joked, lied, confessed, cried, and said he is seeking treatment - more graphic photos have emerged.

This snowball just keeps rolling and rolling….

TMZ is reporting that Weiner took numerous partially nude photos of his iron-clad body while working out in the basement of the Rayburn building where the Congressional gym and locker room are located.

A few of them show him grabbing his weiner while taking a photo of his reflection in a mirror.

Because this happened on Government property this may be the fine line that forces him to resign.

We’re sure his wife is really proud of him. After all, she is pregnant with their first child and he is about to lose his job.

And what about this “treatment” he is seeking?

How exactly do you treat for being a narcissistic horney middle aged man with a bad streak of pride and a haughty spirit?

We don’t know of any doctors that can help, but we do know of a treatment program that is absolutely free.

It’s called karma.

Video - Bill Maher and Jane Lynch Re-enact Anthony Weiner’s Facebook Posts – Hilarious!

One thing we like about cable TV is you can say things you can’t say on network television.

So, in the spirit of Weinergate, Bill Maher invited Glee’s Jane Lynch to re-enact Weiner’s Facebook message exchange with one of his Internet mistresses.

In what Maher calls a dramatic reading, complete with background chamber music, Maher and Lynch read Weiner’s messages he exchanged with Lisa, a Las Vegas Blackjack dealer.

It’s all here – comments about being hard, banging the future Mayor of New York City, Jewish girls giving head, c*ck sucking republicans, taking more photos, etc.

It’s really comedy and satire at its best.



Ah, only in America can you get busted for tweeting a picture of your junk, but make an audience scream by someone reading them your private email.

Hypocrisy at its best friends.

Dancing With The Stars Announces New Seasons Dancers! Wow, Shockers...

It’s finally here!

The season 13 new cast members for ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” have been announced and there are some shockers.

There have been a bunch of rumors over the last few weeks that can now be laid to rest

These people are NOT include in the season 13 cast - Snooki, Anthony Weiner, Casey Anthony, Rob Kardashian, Dina or Lindsay Lohan, Nick Jonas, Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump, and Regis Philbin – not gonna happen.

ABC has officially announced the new lineup and they are:

• Chaz Bono (New transgendered male)
• Elisabetta Canalis (Nickname: The Italian beauty)
• Hope Solo (The Soccer hot shot celebrity)
• J.R. Martinez (Soap opera star)
• Nancy Grace (Courtroom and hosting disgrace)
• Ron Kardashian (Reality show looser)
• Ron Artest (NBA superstar and champion)
• Ricki Lake (Washed up daytime talk show host)
• Kristin Cavallari (Television bit player and reality star)
• David Arquette (Scream star and rehab expert)
• Chynna Phillips (Pop singer and actress)
• Carson Kressley (Queer Eye star and fashion guru)

Oh brother, I’m thinking this is going to be a hard season to settle into.



If we had to pick a winner we would think Carson Kressley might have a shot because he ‘sings’ and ‘dances’ and is ‘fabulous’.

Chaz Bono and Ricki Lake will probably struggle. David Arquette might have a chance if he can stay out of rehab. Nancy Grace will fall and break her leg and then sue somebody, thus disqualifying her.

Ron Artest is quick on his feet and probably has a chance.

The others? It’s anybody’s guess.

Season 13 starts on September 19th on the ABC network and is sure to be a blowout for the first few shows.

Queue the music, dancers, and the hype machine!

Video - Canuck Fan Gets Shot In The Groin By Police Flash Grenade – Ouch!

We all know that Canada lost the Stanley Cup last night to the Boston Bruins in game 7 of the finals.

What we didn’t expect was for our Northern friends to start a riot like we do in the United States – we figured Canadians were a little more “refined” then us rowdy Americans.

Where was Anthony Weiner when we needed him? So many possible jokes it's not even funny!

But in what may become one of the most viewed viral videos of all time, one poor Canuck fan got shot in the groin by a Police flash grenade filled with tear gas.



It is one thing to lose the Stanley Cup, but it’s another thing entirely to get shot in the balls with a grenade after the loss.

Where is Gloria Allred when we need her?

But we’re not worried – it’s just a matter of time before we are rioting again for something in the U.S.

Way to go Canada!

Black Keys Drummer Pounded By Lady Gaga Fans Over Madonna References

Looks like you don’t want to anger Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters.

In light of the fact that Gaga seems to me morphing more and more into Madonna, her fans have started to take revenge.

Several months ago, Gaga took some heat after she released her single “Born This Way” after it appeared to some that it was a knock off of Madonna’s “Express Yourself.”

Related: Video - Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ and Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’ Comparison – Plagiarism?

Even after vigorously denying any connection to Madonna’s image and style, Ms. Gaga has continued to take heat for the similarities.

Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney took to twitter to ‘express himself’ on the subject, and has repeatedly referred to Gaga as “Madonna” in his tweets.

Carney said last June after the Grammy Awards program,

"I still can't get over Madonna’s performance at the Grammy’s this year! She was born that way!"

And last month he tweeted during Gaga’s gig on SNL saying,

"Madonna is killing it!"

Well, needless to say, her “Little Monsters” have not taken all this criticism of their star lying down.

Since last June, Carney’s twitter timeline has been slammed with obscene and threatening comments about his feelings towards our Lady.

Patrick is not letting all the fuss bother him, and has been re-tweeting many of the nasty comments, and letting Gaga know her fans seem to be “Bullying” him.

This is a direct swipe against Gaga as she is a big supporter of anti-gay and anti-bullying groups.

And to add insult to injury, Gaga's album sales of "Born This Way" are down 85% in its second week - not good.

Hollywood and stardom can be a cruel mistress!

Just ask Anthony Weiner!
