Anthony Weiner: serious question

Okay, yesterday I was laughing, but something occurred to me this morning: Congressman “I’m a big deal” Weiner sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. That committee includes the Subcommittee on Energy and Power, the jurisdiction of which is:

National energy policy generally; Fossil energy, renewable energy resources and synthetic fuels, energy conservation, energy information; Energy regulation and utilization; Utility issues and regulation of nuclear facilities; Interstate energy compacts; Nuclear energy; The Clean Air Act and air emissions; and, All laws, programs, and government activities affecting such matters.

(Emphases added)

Weiner does not sit on that subcommittee. But, since the full committee’s purview includes areas considered by the subcommittee, that means Representative Weiner almost certainly has a “top secret” security clearance so he can be properly informed when considering issues dealing with our nuclear power plants, not just technological secrets but also their physical security in an age of mass terrorism.

Think about that.

Anthony Weiner has just shown the world how irresponsible and careless he is. Forgetting for a moment his apparent inclinations toward infidelity, his childish “sexting” makes him vulnerable to blackmail (1). The Soviets used to do it all the time, and you can bet our enemies would be happy to do it today:

“So, Tony. What’s it going to be? Do we get details of the security at San Onofre, or does your wife get to see those other pictures, the ones that you thought were safe, when she opens tomorrow’s ‘Post?’”

Sure, the dialogue is corny, but the situation is potentially quite real.

So, let me ask: Is there any reason why this juvenile dope shouldn’t lose his security clearance and be consigned to the Committee on the House Cafeteria?

(1) Anyone willing to bet that this is the first time he’s done this, and there aren’t more photos out there? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

    Man I got really embarrassed for him listening to him on CNN being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. (Note to Weiner: Never refer to one of the reporters of a MSM liberal propaganda organization, like CNN for instance, as a “jackass” during a press conference). I mean the guy is not even remotely a convincing liar. His answers were so childish. He definitely suffers from an extreme case of arrogance compounded by an equally intense condition of entitlement.

    My favorite part was when Blitzer pressed him to answer whether the photo sent to the girl was a photo of him, however it got sent and whoever sent it. His answer was basically that he didn’t know because it could have been a photo of him once that was altered by the person who hacked into his iphone … he couldn’t be sure. That answer alone should be cause enough to revoke any security clearance he has and to boot him out of Congress.

    I just hope that those same hackers that got Weiner don’t hack into my iphone and add bulges to those pictures of me in my underwear I keep on my iphone!

    He is a weiner weasel in my book Sister T…:d

    First, he is not a convincing liar. Second, he wants to argue semantics, which it appears he cannot do. Finally, if he really was hacked, he would want the FBI investigating. The fact that he wants his own investigator–someone he can control–tells me he did it, got caught, and is standing in it up to his ears. This is the face of the far left liberal, like Chuck Schumer, who thinks they are better than the average voting American. And these weird New Yorkers keep voting for them! I used to live in NY. Common sense is just not used in DC.

  4. Carlos says:

    Apparently, Brontefan, it’s not used a whole bunch by New Yorkers, either. They’re the ones who keep burdening the rest of the nation with these idiots, liars and socialists.

  5. Drew the Infidel says:

    The inconvenience Weiner is encountering is that one cannot be a perpetrator and a victim at the same time, yet he is trying to play it both ways.

  6. Zippy says:

    First of all, how could he not be sure if those were his shorts or not. And how can we be sure it’s the same sext message he sent to the rest of us if we don’t have proof. I demand proof!

    Looks like his weiner is in a schnitzel if you ask me..

  7. Jojo says:

    Doesn’t look to me like Weiner’s weiner is much to brag about. He certainly has his shortcomings.

  8. Jim McDonald says:

    He’s sort of Jewish. His Wife is sort of Muslim. Weiner might be lible to loose one or both heads…
