By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 2nd at 03:00 AM |
Lots to cover tonight, thanks in part to skipping Monday for Memorial Day.

Amanda Marcotte puts out #weinergate article.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | June 1st at 01:53 PM |
And it’s going to be the funniest article you’re going to read all day. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, she wrote it for the Guardian in order to relentlessly get the record wrong on a couple of key points involving the rising Weinergate scandal, starting with trying to pretend that anyone with a triple digit IQ is taking seriously the conspiracy theory that the whole thing | Read More »

#Weinergate update: Coed being scrubbed from Google.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | May 29th at 12:44 AM |
OK, I admit it: when I heard this morning that Rep. Weiner had supposedly sent a coed a picture of his (encased) genitalia via Twitter, I assumed that somebody was just having his or her little joke by hacking into the man’s account and indicating that Weiner is, as I put it, one of the bigger d*cks in Congress. But that was before Ace of | Read More »

By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 10:00 PM |
Friday night Anthony Weiner, Democrat from New York City and Client Number Nine‘s successor in the House (Edit: mixed up my NY Dems, sorry!), had a problem on Twitter.

By: James Richardson (Diary) | September 16th at 10:49 PM |
In an election cycle where Democratic campaign advertisement expenditures disparaging their party’s landmark health care overhaul is wildly outpacing pro-reform spots, one New York congressman is embracing a bold approach: Taking ownership of the health care reform bill. “I wrote the bill,” Rep. Anthony Weiner said Monday at a town hall, referring to his party’s landmark reform of the nation’s health care system. “The bill | Read More »
Democrats playing politics with ailing 9/11 responders
By: James Richardson (Diary) | August 1st at 02:31 PM |
In today’s Politico, I have an editorial on the Democrats’ procedural gimmicks and faulty pay-for system that cost the passage of the James Zagroda 9/11 Health and Compensation Act: In spite of fierce public opposition, the Democrats’ sizable House majority secured passage of President Barack Obama’s controversial overhaul of the nation’s health care system. But this same majority failed Friday in its efforts to create | Read More »
