unsure of what was said. interpret this as 'he had the opportunity to say he was wrong for his actions, but has decided to avoid full responsibility for his behavior'.

or least that's my personal take of this 'bit'.

implying it was a 'thing' (fetish) needed, and the women (in his employ) okayed his action. nope. not buying it.

ignoring, rationalizing - it's not going away. weiner, allen, cosby, polanski...being creepy stays on your permanent record.

Trump represents himself as the opposite of everything wrong with Washington DC and Hillary Clinton and the last 8 years.

His agenda to to MAGA. and to drain the swamp.

He is bring jobs back and lowering unemployment. The tag line "Its the economy stupid. " rings true. After 8 years of poor growth and leadership indicating 2% growth is the new norm, Damn right people want someone who promises better. And Trump is delivering on the economy. Hillary really didn't have a message.

World affairs-- Tentative , promising ? still evolving, but hopeful. Got 3 prinisors out of NK, alive. It's a start.

Draining the swamp, dozens not seeking reelection or just leaving.
DOJ, FBI, Fired,resigned , compromised
Anthony Weiner laptop search warrant was unsealed today. Now more bad news for HRC and many more.
But the wheels of justice moves slowly.

Also The Inspector General final Draft is nearly completed--

Also noted that the FBI had a snitch placed in the Trump camp and was feed bogus information -- A total FBI scam.


If Obama delivered solid growth Hillary would have been a shoe in, as repulsive as she is.

Like how you blame Republicans for destruction in 2008. BS but ok lets go with it and take ownership. Obama took ownership in 2008 and was responsible for fixing the mess and he failed.

Clinton stood for what ? LBGTQ and universal healthcare.

Too funny - Anthony Weiner dick picks will be Hillary's downfall for the election.

Ah The company you keep.

@1:17 it sort of looks like he has a brace or maybe even a prosthetic leg.

I instantly pictured that the lion ate his leg once but they patched up the relationship, forgave each other and maybe the 4 weiner dogs are just a little safety buffer in case?

Your video, It's Finally Time to Cut Off that Weiner, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Hey ya weiner, I just did that entire " OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. "

I must of stopped the video once I thought they had died, being sensible and all. That is odd they got out and had breakfast the next morning.

My first Top #15 post and now my first #1 post!

Thank you to everybody who made this possible. Thank you to the academy, the screenwriters guild, the awesome Scott Weiner with his matter-of-fact stance in the face of bullshit mountain, all the awesome people at this site who have made my nine-year stay (and counting!) exceptionally enjoyable, the people at Fox who simply don't know what news is, @dag for creating the site, ohh, is that music I hear... alright, well, I won't take too much more time... All the upvotes, all the people submitting wonderful content from around the web, all the goodness in everyone that has existed anywhere in all of time, yeah, yeah, okay, times up... Keep fighting the good fight!

And thanks!

Meh, that's debatable.

The women involved in the original scandal didn't claim to feel harassed.

She didn't even see the infamous picture.

In fact, she herself thought it was a obscene prank perpetrated by some conservatives who disapproved of her support for Weiner. (hehe)

Furthermore, the leakers weren't "whistleblowers" doing some ground-breaking investigative reporting on corrupt politicians.

They were right-wing lackeys who monitored Weiners communicates with the specific intent to dig up dirt.

From Wikipedia--

According to the New York Times, evidence later revealed that..


So..

Seems like Breitbart henchmen were hunting for some character-assassination dirt..

And Weiner accidentally handed it to them on a silver platter. (Hah)


There were supposedly 5 other women he sexted, and those scenarios may possibly constitute sexual harassment..

But, as far as the original scandal & dick-pic seen 'round the nation go..

A hilarious mistake lead to shaming and the end of a career.

Which sucks because Anthony Weiner was a fierce politician who was fighting the good fight.


So yeah, bad example for Oliver to pick.

Unless that person is engaging in illegal/unethical behavior. At least that's Oliver's position, I think.

If I understood that part of the segment correctly, he was saying the pending new legislation would ensure that whistleblowers couldn't be charged with a crime for revealing evidence of sexual harassment to the press (which is what happened in the Weiner scandal--photos showing Weiner engaged in dodgy behavior were sent anonymously to a conservative website, which posted them as part of a news story, and then later major news outlets picked up on it).

If anything.. the Weiner scandal is most in line with the whole ..

"it completely wrong and fucked up to use private photos to shame and ruin someone's life & career" angle of this reporting.

At least the Fappening was "celebrating" those ladies' bodies and behavior.

Wow, how baked are you @MrFisk?

The point you made was about Public figures and their privacy.

Regardless of how their privacy came to be violated..

(Anthony Weiner mistakenly? linked his pics on is public twitter originially. Hah.)

the result is the same:

People flocking to oogle their naked/scantily-clad bodies in photos that were meant to be private.

Isn't that the issue?


And then the rest of your comment about how..

..even private citizens should expect less privacy because of illegal data collection by the NSA..

(not unlike the illegal seizure by the Fappening hacker effectively)

Yet somehow that's okay because.. they didn't publicly share those photos.. O_o? really?

..wtf dude.. @_@

I don't remember much about the Anthony Weiner story but if the pics he sent were unsolicited (which may have been the case) then that might put it into different territory than if she asked him to send her pictures of his cock.
Of course if could also be because Weiner was a guy, and we still live with the double standard that no matter what happens a guy's job is to suck it up and take it like a man. And men are probably worse with each other about it in the same way that women will engage in merciless slut shaming amongst each other.
