Weinergate

[saywhatkid]

does it excite you a lot whenever you see a Democrat being shamed like this?

I think you know the answer. The glee that is (barely) contained with these constant updates borders on the fanatical.

Palin's account = hacked by crazed leftists.
Weiner's account = info provided as a public service.
Or something like that...

Her account wasn't ever even hacked! It was just some kid resetting her password because she used details to verify her identity that are available on Wikipedia.

Though I am obligated to point out that Weiner's account wasn't even pretend hacked or anything (well, maybe some of the "private messages with the 17 year old or whatever"), he was just stupid and made it public.

I broke my crystal ball. So I can't make any predictions.

I was simply describing the events as seen through the eyes of a Palin-oholic.

And yet you still read these posts?

Regardless, it was an illegal and unauthorized electronic entry.

We all need humor in our lives.

This thread is not about Palin.

What's a "Palin-oholic"? I see the media are pretty much well fixated on her and go at great lengths with abated breath on the results on the shifting through her emails while she was a govnernor.

Oh, granted. I wasn't saying it was (or should have been) legal. It just bugs me when people assume any sort of difficulty (which "hacking" implies, for many people) when it's merely "stupidity on the part of the victim".

Nah, the media needs hunor, too.

Someone, however, is so fixated that they are blind to their own fixation.

But again, this is a thread about Rob Weiner.

Exactly. But then, playing the victim seems to be a favorite role of the politician in question.

Actually, I find nothing funny about this topic; from the Rep being brought down, to the joyful reporting by the right, to the people that unfortunalely elected this guy, to the "why are you reading this" attempts to troll me. It is a sad statement to where we have gone as a country.

I find humor in everything reported regarding Palin.

No, I think he was right, and the media is just blindingly incompetent and stupid, too. They are Palinophiles, and it's not "for humor", it's because they're obsessed.

Granted and learned, too. Although I think the bigger stupidity fell on the guy who thought he could get away with it. The perp got sentenced (custody only plus probation) for his illegal entry, plus he's required to seek mental health treatment as well.

Lucky you.

She sells papers. I find the reports humourous. And I venture to say the vast majority of serious political journalists do, as well.

But how did we get from Weiner to Palin?

Absolutely. They are competely obsessed with Palin. But that's the media for ya and bring in the almighty advertising dollars.
