WeinerGate 2.0 has just ended, but it ended in a customary way we knew was coming:

The politician lied.

Imagine that.

WeinerGate 1.0 consisted of:

WeinerGate 2.0 looked something like this:

This is, oddly enough, the same Anthony Weiner who decided to bash Fox News and Megyn Kelly:

But, luckily, Anthony Weiner is so incredibly important to the nation that he is not going to quit, he refuses to, nor is his wife of less than one year, the gorgeous Huma, going to kick him to the proverbial curb.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, his sacrifice is in fact that large and overarching.

I think perhaps instead of excoriating Congressman Weiner, we should hold him up, triumphant, as the Model Man he is in terms of personal perfection.

Weiner: “I accept responsibility as long as there aren’t any consequences.”

I repeat: Imagine that.

P.S.
I would ask to the men and women of my readership: Weiner is clearly a Horndog. If, I posit, you are what you are, then why-oh-why would you want to get married? Why not simply stay single, sow your oats as you may? I’ll not quite ever understand that. If you commit beyond a mere boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, why did you decide to commit in the first place?

P.P.S.
I’m sure the Left and the NOW women and the DEM/MSM will be strangely silent on the matter. Imagine that. Even the most daft 9-year-old understands the Tawana Brawley Quotient: if you lie, if you post your entire life on the internet, you will surely be exposed and subsumed. Even the most ignorant welfare drone understands there may possibly, potentially, be consequences to posting on Twitter and Facebook and other social media.

Where are the femininsts reviling the objectification of women by a Man In Power?

Oh yeah; that’s correct. Nowhere. They’re all Demorats.

I would ask this: what would your wife think of a situation like this by you?

Further: if you’re in New York, what kind of confidence do you potentially have in any decisions made by your Representative now, eh?

Doesn’t anyone ask about these two very important words?

— JUDGMENT
— HONESTY

If this is true:

From ABCNews.com:

Gadahn, 32, was born in California in 1978 to a Jewish father (musician Phil Pearlman) and Christian mother (Jennifer), as Adam Pearlman. At age 17, he converted to Islam and was recruited by a mosque that had links to al Qaeda. Gadahn later fled to Afghanistan, where he joined up with al Qaeda, met Osama bin Laden and became the terrorist group’s main propagandist.

Ah Islam; we can always count on it to be the religion of peace, understanding and tolerance — its adherents as well.

Never, thank Allah, do its adherents wish to ever take advantage of entitlements from the Evil West that it swears to destroy:

James King Arness, TV and film actor, passed away yesterday (Friday, June 3rd) at the age of 88 at his Brentwood home in Los Angeles.

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 26th of 1923, James was the older brother of — you guessed it — Peter Graves.

Peter Graves was born Peter Aurness on March 18th of 1926 — and passed away of a heart attack on March 14th of last year (four days prior to his 84th birthday), at the age of 83 — before his older brother, James. Peter was 6’3″ tall. You likely remember Peter Graves as the IMF leader in Mission Impossible (great score by Lalo Schifrin), as well as his classic portrayal as Captain Clarence Oveur in the 1980 movie “Airplane!”

Few people realize this, but the first famous screen appearance of James Arness was in the 1951 Howard Hawks film “The Thing From Another World” (later shortened to “The Thing”), starring Kenneth Tobey. At 6’7″, Arness was the perfect size for a looming creature (which you only glimpsed briefly). The film was from the 1938 novella “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell, Jr.

Arness, however, was best known for his portrayal of western Marshal Matt Dillon in the TV series “Gunsmoke,” which ran from 1955 to 1975, in an amazing series of 635 episodes! This qualifies the show as the longest running prime-time series to date in the US. [I should care to point out that the bartender in the Gunsmoke series, Glenn Strange, portrayed Frankenstein in the 1948 film, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.”]

It was his friend, John Wayne, who actually recommended Arness for the title role of Marshal Dillon because, at the time, Wayne had taken the time to personally record an introduction to the television series. Wayne and Arness had made four films together in the 1950s. It was via that friendship that Arness was introduced to the TV media at large.

In 1989, People magazine chose the top 25 TV stars of all time. James Arness was number 6.

Being well into my sixth decade, I can clearly remember James Arness standing tall and solid.

God bless you, sir.

You provided many people, for many years, with an entertainment form and series that cannot possibly be reproduced in terms of quantity or quality. Those are facts in evidence. May you rest in eternal and comforting peace, sir.
