IT AIN'T NO BIG THING! (Frazer Chronicles)
According to Anthony Weiner, "it's a frivolous thing" is how Representative Anthony Weiner, or "Tony Baloney" explained his tweeting a photo of a man's bulging boxer briefs to a 21 year old female Washington state student. "I tweeted a photograph of myself that I intended as a direct message as part of a joke to a women in Seattle."
I guess you could call this "weeny gate," or "as the bulge goes, so goes the weeny." Finally on Monday Representative Weiner, "could he have any other name," admitted to sending the photo, after more then a week of denial. Weiner at a news conference said that "I'm deeply regretting what I have done and I'm not resigning," he might also have regretted getting caught.
Weiner who had been seen as a raising, "no pun intended" star among Democrats, has been a leading liberal voice in the U.S. House of Representatives had been expected to run for mayor of New York City in 2013. However with this admission of foolish activity, his, "Weiner's" chances of winning a race for dog catcher has shriveled.
In his news conference, Weiner said that "he had had several relationships with women before, and since his marriage to former Hillary Clinton aid, Huma Abedlin last year. Weiner characterised his relationships as a"frivolous thing," conducted on line only. "How in hell does that work?"
Possibly he conducted all of his extra-marital escapades over the phone, or really did have long distance "tweet-twangers." However as a man who is wise to the ways of the world, I for one very much doubt Mr. Weiner's admission, I'm sure that there was personal contact at some point.
Was it a mistake, of course not, he admitted to doing the bulge thing on numerous occasions. Was what he did illegal, I hope not, I want to tweet something myself. Should the Representative from New York State resign, well I guess that would be up to him. If it was me, I'd simply take my computer and disappear.
They say that "a picture is worth a thousand wards," but in this case, I figure that the initial discovery, then the denial, then the admission of guilt and the fall-out, will be worth at least a hundred thousand words. No matter the record of Weiner with regards to his political career, he will now be the subject of cocktail party jokes, you know, "have you heard the one about the blown Jockey shorts."
I GOT AN IDEA, LETS FAKE IT! (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
Okay, picture this, "it's a bright sunny spring day, the birds are singing, the flowers are beginning to bloom and I'm listening to a ball game on the radio, when all of a sudden, the radio announcer tells me that there really isn't a ball game, the score was fictitious and the jokes on me." Is nothing secrete, it really is spring.....isn't it, and the birds are really singing.....right?
Now we come to my new worst jerk of the week and it's only Tuesday. Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader, Scott Fitzgerald has fully endorsed the idea to field a fake Democrat in recall elections against Republicans in an effort to delay the general elections.
"It gives us another month to campaign" was the statement cited by the Republican from Juneau, Wisconsin. You know, I really can't figure it out, I thought Senators, Representative, Mayors and Governors were elected to public office, to work for the public, but I guess not.
Fitzgerald is from Juneau, Wisconsin, a picturesque little community almost directly between Milwaukee and Madison and the city motto is "city with a heart, and a head for business." As many of us know, a heart and a business head don't usually go together, and Representative Fitzgerald's latest "fakey" idea only give creditability to that statement.
A quick check of Scott Fitzgerald will also give the reader a quick idea of exactly how the Representative deals with government. Fitzgerald's younger brother, Jeff, is an Assembly Representative from the 39th. Assembly District, and is serving as the Assembly Speaker. The Fitzgerald brothers father, Stephen, a 68 year old veteran of law enforcement was appointed by Governor Scott "Sleepy" Walker to Wisconsin's top cop spot in February, the post pays the senior a little over $105 thousand dollars a year.
To say that the Fitzgerald's, or Wisconsin's "three musketeers" have a "vested" interest in political party power in the state, would be an understatement. All told, the father and his two sons will be hauling in well over $200 thousand dollars this year with benefits. And now Scott Fitzgerald wants to "fake candidates," so that further campaigning can go on, well, somethings fake, and I think most of us know what it is.
Do not get me wrong, I am not accusing Republicans of doing something that the Democrats haven't done in the past. It was despicable last year when the Dem's did the same thing, and it's just as despicable now. Lets quite these silly political games and get down to business.
