    It's not unconstitutional to regulate the abortion industry. Since this is not a ban on abortion ,it doesn't violate the provisions of Roe .

    Time and again. As John Podhoretz put it, "Yes, his emergence as Carlos Danger might be just the thing to make Anthony Weiner rise to the top at last!"

    "Anthony Weiner the peter tweeter is at is again. He admitted in a press conference to having more online sexting episode well after he resigned from Congress. This time Anthony Weiner used the name Carlos danger. He was sexting women under the name Carlos Danger. See, this is Weiner's way of getting more Latino support." –Jay Leno

    "Anthony Weiner released a statement today saying this behavior is behind me. Then he added, if you want to see more of what's behind me, I'll text you a photograph." –Craig Fergsuon

    "Mayoral candidate Anthony Wiener had more photographs released from his sexting scandal. New Yorkers were so shocked that Eliot Spitzer fell off his hooker." –Craig Fergsuon

    "So, Anthony Weiner has apologized for this new scandal. He also apologized for the next one. And the next one after that." –David Letterman

    "At the press conference today, Anthony Weiner’s wife said she will stand by her husband. Especially when he goes on the computer." –Conan O'Brien

    "We have former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer on the show tonight. He'll be here only for about five minutes, but we're charging him for the full hour." –Jimmy Fallon

    "Eliot Spitzer is on the show. When he got here, I said, 'Do you need someone to escort, er, show you to your dressing room?'" –Jimmy Fallon

    Right after I make the argument that the reason Democrats tend to excuse people like Weiner and Filner because they push the agenda in spite of their er, indiscretions - along comes Marion Barry (another example) to hammer home the point.

    Quote:

    In an interview Saturday night on Geraldo Rivera's show on Fox News, Barry said, "One bit of advice to the congressman: I'd stop talking so much about now and start talking about what you did for seven terms while he was in the Congress. He's a good Democrat."
    And that's what it's all about folks. As long as they're a "good Democrat" it doesn't matter who gets hurt in the process. As long as abortion is available on demand it doesn't matter if we lose a few women to a Gosnell or how many babies are killed. It's all about the cause, man!

    ************************************************** **************************

    And while I'm at it, the victim of another celebrated pervert is about to publish her memoir - Samantha Geimer. She would be the victim of Roman Polanksi, the guy who is still celebrated every year at Cannes.

    What happened?

    "Geimer, who was just 13 at the time. Polanski was accused of raping the teen during a modeling shoot at actor Jack Nicholson's home, after drugging her with alcohol and a Quaalude, and was originally indicted on six felony counts."

    No biggie there, eh? Polanksi pled down then fled the country and was convicted in absentia.

    The LA Times describes the atrocious assault on 13 year old Samantha, as "the notorious night that changed both of their lives."

    Poor Polanski, his life was changed.

    Apparently respect for women runs deep in Weinerland. A former Weiner intern- now that's got to be an interesting job - wrote a piece in the NY Daily News and Weinerville was not happy...

    Quote:

    Now, Team Weiner is firing back. TPM called Weiner’s communications director Barbara Morgan to discuss an unrelated story Tuesday and she went off on a curse-filled rant about Nuzzi, describing her as a fame hungry “b*tch” who “sucked” at her job. Morgan also called Nuzzi a “slutbag,” “twat,” and “c*nt” while threatening to sue her.
    Close your eyes and picture the fun we would be having had a Republican used any of those words.

    Meanwhile, Bob 'Filthy' Filner is asking the city to pay his legal fees, while the city is asking him to pay theirs. And, a Democrat strategist says female members of Congress thought he was "creepy".

    Quote:

    "I had dinner this weekend with female members and former members who said this guy has been this way all along, that everybody thought he was a little creepy," said Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen.
    More interesting than women finding him creepy is the part about "this guy has been this way all along." The guy was a member of Congress for 20 years, he didn't become a pervert all of a sudden. Who knew and why were they protecting him?

    Turns out the texting scandal may be a distraction from the real scandal . Sen Chuck Grassley in his role as ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee ,is demanding documents from State about the private consulting work Huma Weiner did for the Clintoon Foundation while also working as deputy chief of staff to Sec State Evita ;where she had access to state secrets. She earned over $350,000 in fees while also being employed by the gvt.

    Of course he's being stonewalled in his request ,but that may be the REAL reason Huma is taking leave from the Clintoons .Grassely suspects that Huma was giving insider info to her private employer... Teneo Holdings ,an affiliate of the Clintoon empire .Teneo Holdings client list included MF Global ,and various foreign governments . That would be typical of the Clintoons and their propensity to sell state secrets to foreign governments .

    Her employment status was changed to "special government employee" in June 2012, which allowed her to leave Washington and work from New York. This was at the same time that some members of Congress were questioning her personal and family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This was also the same time that the State Dept changed the Brotherhood status ;dropping it's 'terrorist organization' status.

    So Grassley has some legitimate concerns that the State Dept and Huma Weiner could address by handing over the pertinent information he seeks.
    But as is normal ,he is being met with the standard response... phony scandal...aint nothing there ....move on...

    It's come to this, Bob Filthy Filner's defense is he didn't receive sexual harassment training, not in his two decades in congress nor in his short stint as mayor of San Diego.

    Quote:

    “The city failed to provide such training to Mayor Filner,” Filner’s lawyer Harvey Berger wrote in a July 29 letter to City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. “In fact, it is my understanding that such training was scheduled, but the trainer for the city unilaterally cancelled, and never re-scheduled such training for the Mayor (and others.) Therefore, if there is any liability at all, the city will almost certainly be liable for ‘failing to prevent harassment’ under Government Code Section 12940(k).”…

    “While, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, many might argue that ‘you don’t need a weatherperson to tell you which way the wind blows,’ and an adult male should not need sexual harassment training, I would point out that in his decades of public service for the people of San Diego as a U.S. Representative, Mayor Filner has never received sexual harassment training,” Berger writes. “This is not an excuse for any inappropriate behavior which may have occurred, but having conducted sexual harassment training many times over the years, I have learned that many – if not most- people do not know what is and what is not illegal sexual harassment under California law. There is a very, very good reason for mandatory sexual harassment training; if nothing else it makes people think about the subject, and how they interact with their fellow employees. Had the City provided mandatory sexual harassment training to Mayor Filner, [former spokeswoman] Irene McCormack Jackson may never have brought her lawsuit.”
    It's not his fault see, if anyone's responsible for him putting his female employees in headlocks, wanting them to work without panties on and asking when he'll get to see them naked, it's the city of San Diego's fault. You just can't make this up...

    Well, even Filner's excuse of blaming the city for not training him not to ask his female employees not to take their panties off for him is apparently a lie. His office canceled the training sessions.

    Meanwhile the new rule that women may not meet with the mayor without a chaperone isn't going over too well with Melissa "tampon-ears" Harris-Perry. She finds it discriminatory... men can still meet with the mayor alone but not women.

    Well, Ms. fashion queen of feminine hygiene products, you go meet with him alone first. Set the example.
