Tuesdays
with Jason Mattera
If Sarah Palin can...
then this man can...

What was Anthony Weiner expecting? That’s what you get for having Bill
Clinton officiate your wedding! Lots of bad karma with that Bubba gene.
Poor Huma--Weiner’s wife.
While Weiner’s pervert factor has definitely risen to defcon 5 status
by now, the New York City Congressman still has his defenders in the
media. In other words, while it’s gotten so bad for Rep. Stub that even
Nancy Pelosi is calling for an investigation, there are sycophants in
the press who are coming to Weiner’s defense.
Let’s start with America’s favorite talking corpse, Barbara Walters. On
“The View,” Walters, herself an admitted adulteress, attempted to
deflect attention away from Weiner by drawing a comparison—get ready
now—to… Sarah Palin, and her bus tour.
“[A]nthony Weiner, whom I also know, has a problem,” Walters said. “He
can be very sarcastic and very sardonic. And you know there are a lot
of times you wish he would not say it. He is a good congressman. He has
been an effective congressman. If Sarah Palin can still ride around on
her bus and be considered as a possible president, this man can
override this, stay in congress and just hope there [isn’t] another
scandal that will take him [out].”
Walters’ line of reasoning was so questionable that Joy Behar was even
shocked, unbelievably having to explain to Barbara Walters that a
nationwide bus tour and “junk” pics are completely unrelated—not even
in the same universe.
