June 16, 201115 yr Like The Vest, the (attempted) cover-up was the dagger.Yep. Had he come out and apologized from the get-go, this all would have died down. The President saying he would resign was the ultimate dagger. I believe the Dems feel an ethics investigation on a present member of congress could be hurtful to the party.
June 16, 201115 yr Like The Vest, the (attempted) cover-up was the dagger. I'll disagree slightly. The coverup was bad but there was no way he was going to survive this even if he admitted it upfront. With all of the females coming out he was dead even if he told the truth.

June 16, 201115 yr How do guys like Vitter survive then? I plead ignorant. I'm not sure who Vitter is. Let me google him.
June 16, 201115 yr I plead ignorant. I'm not sure who Vitter is. Let me google him. Ahh, the Larry Flynt thing. Good question. I guess since there were no pics of him and no accusations that some girls were underage then they could rationalize it away.
June 16, 201115 yr How do guys like Vitter survive then? It is disingenuous for R leadership to blast D leadership on this issue. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/06/16/246887/anthony-weiner-resigns-prostitute-enthusiast-david-vitter-continues-to-be-embraced-by-gop-leadership/
June 16, 201115 yr "Weiner - He Gone"?? That sounds like a personal problem, Doc. Surely we can do better... "Wiener Pulls Out" "Wiener Shrivels Under Criticism" "Wiener Withdraws" "Wiener Shrinks into Shadows"
June 16, 201115 yr Surely we can do better... "Wiener Pulls Out" "Wiener Shrivels Under Criticism" "Wiener Withdraws" "Wiener Shrinks into Shadows" Very well played.
