Show-Stopper: Anthony Weiner's Palin-Biden Joke


Here’s Representative Anthony Weiner saying that the vice presidential debate proved “undeniably, undeniably, we saw a vice presidential candidate who had nice legs. I won’t dispute that.”

Weiner, who is dating Hillary Clinton’s body person Huma Abedin, went on to say, “but we also saw a vice-presidential candidate who tried to explain her running mate’s health care position.”

Weiner was speaking at the fall meeting of Al Sharpton's National Action Network at the Sheraton New York hotel.

Sharpton later told the crowd, presciently, I'm guessing, that “out of all the substance we did today...I’m sure that tomorrow’s papers will say ‘Weiner said Joe Biden has nice legs.’ ”

UPDATE: Weiner's spokesman John Collins emails to say, "It was a misguided attempt at humor and Anthony apologizes for it."

What an uncouth and ignorant jackass Weiner boy is. But we already knew that from the recent NYT article on him.

Hopefully, someone will one day use that video clip against him in an election. Unfortunately, it won't be Bloomberg since there's currently a discrimination lawsuit going on against Bloomberg's company! He, too, is a d*^k!

p.s. Darn good work, Azi. A video is worth a thousand words. Kepp the video of all these dufuses coming!

Bidens health care plan will cost more than any other social program in American history. It is not the governments charter to provide socialism. This is a capitalist country not a communist one. The extreme left that the democrats have become is sickening. Our founders are turning in their graves. Obama is being treated in the media as Americas savior; nothing could be further from the truth. While I think McCain is too liberal, Sarah Palin rocks! Sarah has light years more experience than Obama. Obama has had executive experience = zero. Obama talks about Sarah's daughters pregnancy out of wedlock. She and her boyfriend are getting married. If you look into Obama's parents, you would be horified. This I don't hold against him; but where does he get off taking about Bristle Palin? Obama has many ties to terrorist, criminals, follow his money trail. How did he manage to get all other candidates off the ballot in Illinois?

"undeniably, undeniably, we saw a mayoral candidate who is a sexist pig. I won’t dispute that.”

There is no evidence that Obama/Biden know anything whatsoever about the economy. Because they just blew half a billion dollars trying to get him elected does not mean he will know how to handle any real economic entity, including the McDonald's down on the corner.

500 million and I bet his brother still lives in that box.

Not surprized to see another ignorant post such as this one. I don't know where you "folks" get your imformation, perhaps out of a "Jacker Jack" box or you like to make up ugly gossip just to get yourselves off.

I see the Republican Party is still filled with mean nasty people who stll live to be hatefull and do all they can to destry others lives.

This country needs a social healthcare system like nearly every other country except for maybe three in the world has. With all the money that was spent in this unholy "holy war" we could have fixed all the high ways, fixed our school system, gave the homeless homes, and supplied every person in this country with good health care as everyone so deserves.

The insurance companies are raping us all who pay for premiuns whether it be a business or an individual. The premium for just one indiviual can be devasting at a price up to 12,000 a year. And this cost does not include
co-pays etc.

Shame on you!

Vitriol. Hatred. Attack and smear. These are not qualities I want in future leaders, nor in my Republican family members. Where does this come from? The right wing radio people and Fox news casters?
This is more of the same, the Bush promise to be compassionate and be cautious with spending, then sending the country into catastrophic conditions.
No candidate can be all things to all people, but Obama has carried himself with respect for his opponents and I don't think it will harm the Republicans who hate him now to see what it is like to have an intelligent president.
To compare Palin to a Harvard graduate who practiced law, who understands the constitution, who knows what both black and white people experience, who can work with people without a bomb or gun in his hand and wants you to have health care, not fund insurance companies who will deny you your claim when you need help the most - I really don't think there is cause for such fearful and nasty discourse.
Palin is attractive to many men, and that's nice. Most hockey Moms are enthusiastic women who love to watch their children have fun and gain self-confidence. But let me tell you Pit Bulls are good companion animals, gentle loving noble dogs, full of integrity. Tenacious, yes, but not mean or agressive.
I know pit bulls, and Sarah, you are no pit bull. You are like the dogs who are used to attack, to go for the kill, who are trained for one thing only. Lipstick on this hockey Mom is like blood on the lips of an abused and sacrificial beast with chains on its neck. You aren't even a hockey Mom.
Before people write, or think, such hostile words, consider Obama may not be against you. Imagine our country regaining its identity as a force for good, not a military force for Empire and war. Would it be so bad to live in peace and prosperity for All?
The neo-cons are no Republicans, and they do not care about the people cheering in the McCain crowds for more blood and oil.
I want our constitution back for all of us, I want all our civil rights back, I want to have a leader who does not think of me as an ignorant coward afraid of an ENEMY.
Elections are not blood sports. We really are not eachother's enemy. Are we one nation, or not?

Country is not coming together no matter who wins and if obama looses we will see race rites.

Why do so many act as though bringing a lint-headed pretty woman into the campaign is a good thing? Is this Comedy Central or a national election?
Thank you for bringing some sanity back into the discussion.

If a person is inclined to believe in Sarah Palin then let them send their sons and daughters off to war with her as commander in chief. I have to say the Republican party is famous for electing people who are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Look at their history. No disrespect intended just the facts.

Sarah Palin has many of the character traits of Joe McCarthy. She is mean and deceitful, and will stop at almost nothing to win. She is literally a joke nationally and internationally, and a shame to the American political system, and party, that spawned her. She is the human correlate to this sick economy.

Yeah, "...no disrespect intended..." gets you a knuckle sandwitch. The proletarian patter is as old as Clinton, DeWitt Clinton. When you pay a troll, demand better writing. Better yet hire starving students with B's or better in English Composition. They work cheap too.
