What a prick
Author: Raine

I'm still trying to assemble today's blog. In the mean time take a quick read of this blog post from The Reid Report Mala was the first to share this Opie and Anthony story yesterday, and it appears as tho more truth is coming out with regard o the Weiner scandal.
It seems that once again -- as with all things Breitbart associated, the story wasn't and isn't as black and white as people want it to be. I would even go so far as to say that this is very similar to the Sherrod situation. I'll be back with something in a little bit. Weiner isn't the only dick here.

Listening to Breitbart carefully analyzing Weiner’s penile cinematography, and how he could have made his member look so … large, and manscaped. I’m asking. Do straight guys do that?
Back to the point. Breitbart has been whining that Opie and Anthony “assured” him that “there were no cameras” in the studio. Well what was that, staring at the crew while they passed the naughty cellie around?
And in case you missed it, LGF’s Charles Johnson dismantles Breitbart’s defense, with the help of one of the shock jocks themselves, here.
BTW, you know who uploaded that Youtube video exposing Breitbart as a liar, and a juvenile fool who enjoys snickering about, and sharing cellphone pics of, other people’s penises? None other than Opie. Of Opie and Anthony.
Fancy that.
It seems that once again -- as with all things Breitbart associated, the story wasn't and isn't as black and white as people want it to be. I would even go so far as to say that this is very similar to the Sherrod situation. I'll be back with something in a little bit. Weiner isn't the only dick here.

There is far more to this story, read this from -- of all places: little Green Footballs
In fact, two nights ago, Andrew Breitbart went out drinking with Anthony and several others — and according to Anthony, showed the picture to numerous people, even leaving his laptop computer unattended with the picture on the screen for long periods of time.
One of those people was right wing flamethrower Ann Coulter. Here’s Anthony’s photo of Coulter reacting to the picture; notice that his computer is apparently there, but Breitbart is nowhere to be seen.

My point is that this was a coordinated effort to out representative Weiner.
For that I think he should not resign. We lost Van Jones, Shirley Sherrod and ACORN because of this POS. We are still fighting to maintain NPR because of him.

Changing gears...some astonishing audio from the BBC this morning.
There's a submarine rescue exercise going on today off Spain; NATO ships are working with a Russian sub to perfect some techniques. (The US Navy is taking lead, of course.)
They have just put a reporter on the rescue sub and dived down to the Russians a few hundred feet below. Imagine a US reporter doing that...

Only get to hear the last half hour usually, I thought he was saying he should stay and fight. And that's what I wanted him to do but now its looking like it really is going to hinder then help him being there. I wonder if he could be a force from the outside? I also wonder who is going to fill the void of town crier
But really I think Breitty needs to be to feel the laser focus on some investigating.

regarding resignations in the House, people should take a look at the current Governor of Georgia -- Nathan Deal. He resigned becuase he was under investigation and wanted to get out BEFORE they found something. HE then went on to run -- and win the office.

Ok here is a twofer, especially for Massachusetts:
But wait!
President Barack Obama is considering nominating Raj Date, a former banker with Capital One Financial Corp. (COF) and Deutsche Bank AG, as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the process.
Date is already at the consumer bureau, working as a top deputy to Elizabeth Warren, the Obama administration adviser who is setting up the new agency. He is on a short list of candidates to become director, the person said.
But wait!
While Warren hasn’t indicated her plans, some Democratic Party officials and supporters have urged her to run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Scott Brown.

Setti Warren (D-Newton) is still a name to watch, but after his disastrous appearance on the local talk show "Nightside" about 10 days back, I don't think he's ready for the big leagues. But I wouldn't count him out 5 years down the road.

About Mr. Abedin's wife:
Fluent in Arabic and raised in Saudi Arabia by an Indian father and Pakistani mother, Abedin is a practicing Muslim who dated actor John Cusack and has a Rolodex filled with the phone numbers of political titans and celebrities.
While she traipsed around the country during the campaign as Clinton’s traveling chief of staff, Weiner became a fixture on those trips, courting the George Washington University graduate who counts designer Oscar de la Renta as a friend.
Yet the couple always seemed an odd pair. She is Muslim, and he is Jewish. She is an enigmatic woman who was once romanced by George Clooney, while the brash congressman has chased the spotlight, becoming a favorite progressive attack dog.

Polling like this makes me REALLY wonder where the meme comes from that Obama has election troubles. I don;t think we should be complacent, but shit, it seems as tho some want us to panic.
We've done polls in Massachusetts and Minnesota over the last couple weeks and found that Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Michele Bachmann are all unpopular in their home states. That's par for the course with this GOP Presidential field- we've polled on 9 of the candidates or potential candidates in their home states and only one of them is well liked- Gary Johnson in New Mexico.
That's probably not a good sign for any of these candidates. If the voters who know them best don't care for them, why would others around the country? Certainly you don't have to be popular in your home state to get elected President but it would be a good sign if you were.
Here's how they stack up from most popular to least popular:

There's been flash floods across the Northern Kingdom of Vermont. While the Midwest has been all over the news recently, Lake Champlain came out of its banks here a few weeks back (Burlington was particularly hard-hit), and then it simply vanished, even from the local news. I have no idea whatever became of it.

I'm sure the ultra-liberal MSM mainstream gotcha elite liberal media is all over it.
Since the forecast is for the temperature to peak around 5PM that leaves a lot of time to get where they think it's going to go.
Lost in what the Bruins are doing is that the once sucky last place Red Sox now have the best record in the American League.
I never liked Ed, the first time I heard him, his voice sounded too much like Rush.
