#Weinergate, and Ann Althouse's Mad Descent Into an Oxycontin-fueled Delusion. Not That I am Accusing Her of Taking Drugs.
Such comments were of the witless -- Weiner didn't do this, didn't do that. There's no investigation, bla bla, yadda yadda, sort. As if on a normal day the person in question has upper level access to the inner workings of the Justice Dept. in general, the FBI in specific, or any other Fed Law Enforcement department or agency. Never fucking mind it's Memorial Day weekend. Ya. The most fucking important thing for the FBI to deal with on Memorial Day weekend is allegations that some congresscritter's Twitter acct was hacked. Ya. That alert ranks just below the report that a discharge of a white powdery substance was spotted in aisle 9 of the Chevy Chase MD SuperFresh supermarket in the flour section, seemingly flowing from a busted open bag of flour. And it was just above the report of a noxious, foul smell in the VA Hospital on Loch Raven Blvd, Baltimore MD, emanating seemingly from a busted colostomy bag.
“We’ve retained counsel to explore the proper next steps and to advise us on what civil or criminal actions should be taken,” Weiner spokesman Dave Arnold said in an email. “This was a prank. We are loath to treat it as more, but we are relying on professional advice.”
Weiner maintains that he thinks the issue is a distraction started and driven by conservatives. “At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in, and middle class incomes are stagnant, many want to change the subject. I don’t,” Weiner said in an email to TheDC. “This was a prank, and a silly one. I’m focused on my work.”
Although he is not completely ignoring the shit, he is putting it on a low priority. He (or his peeps) have talked to a lawyer. Now on to the Memorial Day wieners for Weiner.
I could take a harder pass at Althouse, but Res Ipsa Loquitor. (I know I am using the word outside of the technical legal context. It's sort of a pun or bit of fun latinate word play there. Just saying for the slow witted observers.)
