[THEHILL] Former Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion The Bitch Set Me Up Barry ... the worst administrator, with the possible exception of Boss Tweed, ever elected to public office and then reelected and reelected when he got out of jail... No. That's not true. Boss Tweed wasn't elected to anything... said Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... is a "good Democrat" who should be talking more about his accomplishments in Congress.
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."
A couple weeks ago, Barry said he can "identify" with what Weiner is going through.
Earlier in the interview, Barry and Rivera clashed about the ex-mayor's past brushes with the law.
Barry, who is now a D.C. Council member, balked at Rivera's characterization of his past drug scandals.
Barry accused the federal government of attempting to set him up, and twice used an expletive on the air. Rivera asked him to apologize, and Barry later did, saying he was "sorry he got upset."

Perhaps the mayor can loan the congressman his patented excuse. Leather might be annoyed, but it's (already?) time to move on. Tray Tray would want to get get past this and would fully understand (if he wuz alive) the opression the Weiner has endured.

Marion Barry is too vile to print. I hope Geraldo told his viewers that the interview was rated "R" so they could get their children out of the room.
[GUARDIAN.CO.UK] Barack Obama I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go... has given the strongest indication to date that he holds reservations about the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, saying the project would not create many jobs and could raise gasoline prices. Two words: North Dakota.
In an interview with the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , the president disputed a main justification for the pipeline -- its economic benefits -- and reaffirmed he would reject the project if it expanded carbon pollution.
The comments were seen by campaigners as evidence that Obama, in the wake of last month's landmark climate change speech, was leaning towards rejecting the project.
Obama has been under growing pressure from campaigners, party donors, and Democrats in Congress to reject the pipeline, which would expand production from Canada's tar sands.
He adopted some of their arguments in his comments on Saturday, knocking down pipeline supporters' claims of a big jobs boost, saying Keystone would register little more than a "blip" on the employment rolls.
"Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator. There is no evidence that that's true," Obama said in the interview.
"The most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline -- which might take a year or two -- and then after that we're talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 jobs in a economy of 150 million working people."
The president -- without prompting by the news hound -- then noted that the project would not bring down gas prices, and might even raise them.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... Obama said -- as he did in his climate change address last month -- that his decision on the pipeline would be based on the pipeline's effects on climate change.
"I'm going to evaluate this based on whether or not this is going to significantly contribute to carbon in our atmosphere. And there is no doubt that Canada at the source in those tar sands could potentially be doing more to mitigate carbon release."

I can't find the article now, but (I know this is a shock to y'all) Obama's lying about the jobs numbers; a lefty org. claimed job creation at a far higher number, and completely ignores indirect job creation (refineries, etc.).
#3
Keep it up shitforbrains;
the UP and BNSF will gladly fill in for the pipeline and also create an increase in pollution since nobody has figured out a way to make diesel engines pollute less than a pipeline. don't cry then when a railroad accident occurs.
does this gguy EVER make an intelligent decision?
#5
Champ wants to trade Keystone for his immigration bill which is currently sitting in the House. Right now he wants us to stress that we might lose Keystone. Then he'll make a "deal" with the House. House R's will claim victory because they got Keystone approved.
#7
I think he wants the Canuks to sweeten the pot:
"there is no doubt that Canada at the source in those tar sands could potentially be doing more to mitigate carbon release."
Or both. Or because he wants to make a crisis out of the issue. Whatever makes him look the best.

At some point the left needs to throw the environmentalists under the bus and fix the economy or the blue model will collapse entirely. Question is, before 2014 or after.
#9
BHO's grasp of economics lacks opposable thumbs. But let's assume, for the sake of argument, 2000 jobs is the number.
a) it may be a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of jobs we need, but it is 2000 jobs we don't have now. And who says we need a single project to all the needed jobs at once?
b) those 2000 workers need support - food, fuel, tools, living quarters, clothes, you name it. All those things mean jobs for someone else.
I think the real problem here is the pipeline creates jobs for the wrong people.

Abedin, with her husband at her side, declared last week, “Our marriage, like many others, has had its ups and its downs.’’
“Who didn’t think Huma was referring to the Clintons when she said that?’’ asked another prominent Democrat
Uhhhh, me, for one. Never occurred to me! But then, I'm not the Center of the Universe, either.

The thing that is getting the Clintons upset was Huma calling Clinton donors and implying that failure to contribute to the Weiner campaign would be help against them once Hildebeast becomes POTUS.
The Clintons are afraid any money given the Weiners will be subtracted from the Clinton kitty.

Huma looks skanky & surly in her wedding picture. He looks like Pee Wee Herman at a gay bathhouse.
#11
Interesting how Huma does not look like a very happy bride in that wedding photo. See how the flowers are pointed down and she's all stiff - just look at her arm - straight down.
Looks like a political wedding to me. One he wanted and she wasn't that interested it.
#16
I have to agree wid Billary - at least they + the Kennedy's + even Gary Hart knew the value of DISCRETION, i.e. a married man NOT taking pics of his ********* and then putting it out on channels where only everyone, anyone can see it, + then still to expect privacy due to same.
IMO either Wiener the Pol is an incompetent, or else he has covert, ulterior agendas for doing what he did a SECOND = SOON-TO-BE-THIRD? TIME???
[Al Ahram] Obama said the financial meltdown of several years ago is still having a negative economic impact on middle and working class Americans, who already have been losing ground for at least a generation. Oh, damn that George Bush!

NO, he wants it to hold together until he's out of office. THEN fail.

C'mon, Jim. It won't be his fault no matter when it happens. It is either Bush's fault, or the Republicans, or the Tea Party, or someone else's fault. Never Obama's. Nothing is his fault. Ever.

The "fraying" began after Second Manassas. It's, it's, it's apartheid America I tell you! We've simply never recovered from the forced diaspora and Lee's slave holder wrath.
#12
"until he's out of office" Nope, he wants it to happen as soon as possible so he can stop the elections and stay in power.
I suspect our beloved president can't wait to retire. So long as he's in the White House people will keep demanding he actually do things and negotiate with people and stuff. Once he is officially retired, he can charge lots of money to make speeches during the day, while the evenings can be devoted to being feted and photographed and consulted in private dining rooms without having to do the work of studying up on the issues.
#14
I think you have him pegged exactly right Trailing Wife. But that still will not prevent him from using every power granted to him by the presidential office to enact destruction on the capitalistic system which drives our beloved American way of life.
The man is lazy to the core. But his slothfulness is so overpowed by his own insatiable narcissism it will continue to propell him onto the global stage for decades. Add Michelle Obama to the mix and it conjurs up to some pretty ugly predictions.
I would portray the future Obama as a globe trotting Al Sharpton on steroids, except Al Sharpton is only a racist. Obama hates everything about America except whatever feeds his own narcissism.
#15
I stand by my prediction --- unless something happens to Obama, 22nd amendment is dead after 2014 elections (where I expect new DOJ anti-election fraud task force to shine).

I just realized something.
"Obama said the financial meltdown of several years ago is still having a negative economic impact on middle and working class Americans, who already have been losing ground for at least a generation."
If a generation's more than thirteen years, does this mean they're finally admitting the Clinton administration was worse than they said?
[USATODAY] Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... vowed Sunday to stay in the New York City mayor's race, as he confirmed his campaign manager quit and his top rival said he was not qualified to lead the nation's most populous city.
Weiner said that campaign manager Danny Kedem resigned after revelations came out last week that Weiner continued to send salacious messages online to women, even after resigning from Congress in 2011.
"We knew this would be a tough campaign," Weiner said while campaigning in Brooklyn. "We have an amazing staff, but this isn't about the people working on the campaign. It's about the people we're campaigning for."
The tumult in Weiner's staff was first reported by The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... . Hours later, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn repeated criticism on NBC's Meet the Press that Weiner has displayed "a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity."

[THEHILL] David Axelrod ...a -based political hack, political adviser to Barack B.O. Obama since 2004. Following the 2008 election, he was appointed as Senior Advisor to Obama and we all see how well that worked out.... , a former senior adviser to President B.O., said Sunday that former Rep. Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... is "delusional" and should drop out of the race for New York City mayor.
"I think it's time for him to go away and let New York have its mayor's race," Axelrod said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Axelrod said he had not commented on Weiner because he is personal friends with Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, but he said the time has come for him to stand down.
"At this point it's absurd. He is not going to be the next mayor of New York. He is wasting time and space," Axelrod said.
Weiner's campaign was rocked last week by new revelations that he sent lewd messages and photos to a young woman, a full year after resigning from Congress for the same behavior.
Weiner's campaign manager reportedly quit on Sunday, but Weiner has not dropped out of the race.

Huma Abedin - isn't she Hillary's Saudi girlfriend?
#3
3dc, according to Wikipedia, Huma was born in Michigan. Her father was a Muslim from India; her mother is from Pakistan. She spent some time in Saudi Arabia as a child, but came back to the US for college.
So, she's not actually Saudi. Whether or not she's Hillary's girlfriend is up for debate.

You know... if some of Huma's nastier Muslim friends think Weiner has DISS'ed her with his actions... he may well have nowhere safe to run to. At least nowhere Al Qada or the Muslim Brotherhood can reach. I hope he likes the US station in Antarctica...
#7
I suspect Ms Abedin is the daughter Mrs. Clinton never had -- all successful and political and all. After all, her real daughter quietly hangs out with NGO types, talking about possible decorators for the apartment instead of moving and shaking -- and lying as necessary -- to change the world.
#12
Of course Axelrod is friends with Abedin - she's cozy with the Brotherhood, and Axelrod is cozy with Hussain, who is also cozy with the Brotherhood.

TW: "At her wedding to Weiner in 2010, Clinton told guests if she had a second daughter, it would be Abedin."
Hearsay, but I believe it. Being a disappointment to my own mother, I imagine Chelsea is relieved that there's someone to take the heat off. So she can pursue her own interests, like . . . interviewing the Geico Gecko. Snicker.
From the islamic Motor City
Came a maiden, pious, pretty:
Huma is her name
Such a clever girl is Huma!
She's our muslim clothes-horse puma
Really classy dame
She's such a politician
She got a swell position
To go across the sea to entertain
And so they shipped poor Huma
To dance and play the tuba
And grace 'em with her presence so urbane
They say that Huma is the Queen of Tony Weiner
Just because she plays his concertina
He only likes one song,
She plays it all day long.
The imams think it wrong
But oddly they keep shtum about it
Hill heard her play once or twice.
Oh! Murder! Still it was nice.
All the pols, they dress like Huma.
Some sport scandal, some rock rumor
Down old Chocolate City way.
Huma's habibti Hilly-Billy
Helped her meet a Hebrew willy
Who she thought was grand.
On a camel's back a-swaying
You could hear Miss Huma playing
Down teh Vineyard strand.
She didn't like the limelight
"Oh, maybe just a spotlight"
And Tony sat and listened with a tent.
And as he tried to kiss her,
You heard an Arab whisper,
"Oh Huma, how we love your instrument!"
They say that Huma will be Queen of Gracie Mansion
'Cause she plays for Weiner with such passion
She plays both morn and e'en
Just like the muezzin
Her drawers might be green
Please don't glower,
Gets her power.
At peace talks, she played so fast
Those fascist joos were aghast.
While the Arabs danced so silly
She would wink at Hilly-Billy
Down old Palesteena way.
Huma, she's the Queen of Tony Weiner.
Goodness, Gotham loves her concertina.
Each movement of her bags
Delights the tabloid rags
And makes them squeal like f--s
How they love it
Want more of it.
When she squeaks
That squeeze-box stuff,
All those sheiks
Just can't get enough.
They get fat and she gets leaner
As she chokes that concertina
Down old New York City way!
[BLOGS.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] You can imagine the derision that would have flowed from the liberal "mainstream media" if George W. Bush had referred to the United States as well as its European allies as "developing countries." This is exactly the term he used in an interview with The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , which has just been published. In the interview, given in Galesburg, Illinois, the site of his distinctly unimpressive speech on the economy at Knox College last Wednesday, President B.O. had this to say to news hounds Jackie Calmes and Michael D. Shear:
And one of the interesting things that we don't talk about enough is the contrast between what's happened in the United States and what's happened in a lot of other developing countries, Europe in particular. It's pretty rare where we have the chance to look at two policy approaches and follow them over several years and see which one worked. And the fact is there are a lot of European countries who followed the prescription that the House Republicans are calling for right now, and not only have they lagged well below where we've gone in terms of growth, in many cases their debt and their deficits have actually gone up because their economy is still effectively in recession. And although we haven't been growing as fast as we would like, we have consistently outperformed those countries that followed the recipe that the House Republicans are offering right now.
