will voters tell Weiner to beat it
Sex, money and lies: ‘Culture of Corruption’ boomerangs on Democrats as scandals blossom nationwide
By Valerie Richardson The Washington Times
The Democratic Party is battling scandals from New York to San Diego and from city hall to Capitol Hill, as the party finds itself on the defensive over embarrassing lapses ranging from sexual misconduct to multiple scandals ensnaring the Obama administration.
President Obama on Wednesday denounced what he called “phony scandals” and “an endless parade of distractions” blocking progress on the economy and other issues, but critics say the controversies underscore the missed opportunities for the president and his party to live up to pledges to clean up politics and break traditional patterns of money, influence and privilege in government.
The scandals have spanned the spectrum from a Democratic mayor in San Diego accused of being unable to keep his hands off his female aides to charges that the administration put the Internal Revenue Service on the trail of its political enemies.
One of Congress‘ most famous Democratic names, the scion of Jesse Jackson in Mr. Obama’s home city of Chicago, was just sent to prison for converting campaign funds to personal use. In Detroit, the ex-mayor and the wife of longtime House Judiciary Committee member John Conyers Jr. have fallen to corruption scandals, while the son of former Democratic Party Chairman Ron Brown admitted last month to bribery charges as a city councilman in the nation’s capital.
Longtime political analyst John Pitney Jr. said the Democrats’ woes can be viewed as examples of history repeating itself and how the enticements of Washington’s political culture can trip up the party in power.
Republicans are never involved in sex scandals where they try to pick up dudes in the men’s room at Minneapolis Intl Airport, or “hiking the Appalachian Trail” while out of the country with their south american mistresses.
I mean, like, never.
Right?
I’m sorry but if my spouse is taking nude pictures of their privates to send to someone else then its time for divorce. Huma really is a protégé of Hilary isn’t she.
Why doesn’t Weiner realize that if he truly wants to serve the public, he should quit running for mayor (or any other elected position) and buy a Sabrett push cart.
Doesn’t Weiner look just like an ostrich? I’m just saying.
