I'm glad the Weiner pulled out in time! Whew.

Listening to Kate Obenshane on "To The Point" and she's excoriating Weiner. She's fluid, with excellent breath control and a good vocabulary. Her flexibility, especially in the area of logic is remarkable. She is able to maintain some impressive double standards when similar situations resulting in different outcomes were presented to her. She was able to leap back and say that doesn't apply.

She's something else.

I'll look for the transcript later.

I don't see what crime, what transgression has taken place here. I agree with classic who stated that this demonstrates bad judgement. But that's not a hangin offense, certainly not grounds for resignation. We'd have no government at all if that were applied uniformly.

Congress interruptus.

Heeeeee!

Falling on his sword was the thing to do.

You're killin' me.

He would have got the sack, otherwise.


C'mon, peeps, do I have to make ALL the puns by myself? Infimonkey? Sheldon?

I'm sorry, Zen. I was going to respond but my pen is stuck. ;)

Plus I was feeling crotchety.

Are those two somehow connected? ;)

So have we taken his pound of flesh yet?

Almost - When he gets out of "rehab" there sill be a lil flurry to get those last few scraps.

Sir, you take me too seriously.

He had to go. He would have rost the next erection anyway.

You spent too much time in Japan, dude.

So it gets applied un-uniformly, enough to chastise those who could use it into either better behavior or greater discretion. Not wholly bad.
