Anthony Weiner Lewd Photos Called 'Inappropriate,' 'A Distraction' By White House

Monday, June 13, 2011


If Weiner remains, it's because the 'graybeard­s' want him to, and it's not because they, too, are champions of populist issues.  This is something that liberal voters are going to have to come to terms with:  The anti-popul­ist DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party.  

Anthony Weiner's scandal lets the Democratic Party serve corporate interests.  With Weiner in Congress, it lets the party fail to deliver on the populist promises they purport to be behind, without actually getting their own hands dirty.

An argument can be made for the fact that Weiner, while eloquent on the issues, is no great friend to us, no great champion of our issues because he's been no more successful at achieving our alleged shared goals than the rest of the Democratic Party's politician­s.  Making a good speech on single payer isn't GETTING us single payer.

Whether it's sexting during work hours, engaging in extremely risky behavior in your identity as a US congressma­n (and brought down as similarly as Clinton was, knowing you're being hunted by Republican­s for just this kind of behavior), or doing what other allegedly 'liberal' Democrats have done these past years while Republican­s have been pillaging the country and destroying the Constituti­on (Barbara Boxer wrote two novels on company time, campaigned for Joe "Women Who Are Raped Can Get A Cab To Another Hospital For An Abortion" Lieberman, instead of actually working her butt off fighting Republican­s on our issues, and Pat Leahy expanded his Dead collection­, got to appear in a movie of his favorite comic book character, Batman instead of working his butt off trying to hold back the Republican blitzkrieg of the nation), they're not exactly getting the job done.  

Unless "getting the job done" means doing the People in.

You do all that, you 'play' on company time, you enjoy the perks of the office AFTER you're delivered on behalf of your constituen­ts.
