Weiner Making Calls To Democrats To Apologize
He also apologized to former President Bill Clinton, who officiated at Weiner's wedding last July, said a person with knowledge of the call. The person, who wasn't authorized to discuss the call publicly, spoke only on condition of anonymity. Weiner married Huma Abedin, a close adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, at a lavish ceremony on Long Island last summer.

He reached out to fellow Democratic Rep. Edolphus Towns of New York, according to Towns' spokesman, Julian Phillips, who declined to discuss what the two lawmakers talked about.

So far, none of Weiner's House colleagues have come to his defense as pressure on him to resign has increased.

4. That made me laugh, too.
I am ashamed of laughing, though.

Maybe Bill will call him back and commiserate. Maybe he will have some suggestions to help Weiner handle all this. Remember when Jesse Jackson prayed with Bill? I think there were some Assemblies of God people who prayed with and for Bill, too. They said to him that he was a good man who had done a bad thing. Anyway, I think Jesse was going through a sex scandal of his own when Bill was having Monica troubles.

I would like to continue to support this man, just as I supported both the Clintons during their season of the witch hunt.

8. Yes, I believe so.
I don't want to go googling around for it, though. If he is taking responsibility, that is enough.

7. When Bush lied, thousands died. When Wiener lied,
his wife was embarrassed. Fake Christians forgave Bush, I forgive Wiener.

9. I'll forgive Wiener when he agrees to therapy
Until then, I resent him for doing something that stupid, because it's distracting from important matters like Social Security and the economy.

He KNEW Republicans were looking for any reason to take him down. Nothing like handing them a bazooka to aim at him.

The stupidity....
