K.I.D.S. Act co-sponsor, Anthony Weiner, “Protecting Children On the Internet”:
In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools, and 670 sex offenders live within just two blocks. Some offenders are even closer, permanently residing less than 500 feet away from unwitting parents, educators and children.
Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007, a bill to require sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry. The “Kids Act’ implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data.
Sadly, the Internet is the predator’s venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children.
However, once our kids turn 18 — or, at least, once they’re willing to claim such on their Facebook page or Twitter account — it’s open season for electronic dissemination of Congressional cock pics.
And phone sex with girls you met on line — beating off through the comfort of convenience of a Congressional switchboard — why, that’s just part of the new monogamy.
Really. We need to have a conversation.
This House investigation is going to get interesting, because while Pelosi called for it she does not get to control it anymore. What will they find?
Hence the reason even blovitator and chronic fuckhead Ed Schultz is now calling for Weiner to resign. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/06/msnbcs_ed_schultz_to_anthony_weiner_resign.html
I am sure this whole mess started from Weiner trying to twitter one handed.
In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools…
Only 85%? I didn’t think there was an apartment building anywhere in the city that was more than five blocks from a school.
Good point Squid. I suspect the 15% are in Staten Island. There the sex offenders and child murderers camp out in the woods around the old Willbrook Hospital. Where is Geraldo Rivera when you need him?
Willowbrook Hospital
Was Anthony’s weiner sadly residing within 500 feet of that chick’s inbox?
The call for an ethics investigation is to provide other House dems a ready-made excuse for not talking about Wiener. It’s the ol’ Clinton era, “We can’t talk about the subject of an ongoing investigation” dodge.
There is a certain cleverness to it. Like hiring a burglar to burglar proof your home. Or a tax cheat to look for tax cheats. Like that.
Hey, I didn’t say wise, I said clever.
The BBC’s belated coverage has been revealing.
Of the BBC, that is.
Our man Jonah Goldberg, of NRO and Liberal Fascism fame sums it up nicely:

So even though Mr. Weiner has allegedly taken responsibility, he’s chosen instead to add to the intertia of rendering that same expression meaningless, since in his particular case he’s paid no price save for exposing his lies.
Indeed, his wife may have paid the greater share of betrayal and public humiliation than the congressman. But least he didn’t have the nerve to try and trot her out to stand by his side; and in effect rub the whole mess in her face; as so many others have chosen to do before…
Or consider this from quote Slate, brought to us by Pundit & Pundette:
http://www.punditandpundette.com/2011/06/anatomy-of-liar.html
That sums it up pretty nicely. How can he stay in office or hope to maintain the public’s trust going forward, knowing how fundamentally dishonest he can be, underscored by his demonstration of just how accomplished he is at lying.
How can he ever hope to be taken seriously again?
The bottom line is he is a grown man who has been sending pictures of his dick to total strangers on the internet. Do you really want that kind of judgement deciding matters that will have a profound effect on your future?
Speaking of kids, how’s this for a class project?
Translation: If you don’t want us indoctrinating your kids you just can’t give them to us at all.
Message received.
Funny how educrats never indoctrinate their
slavesstudents to write to their Legislators asking them please to stop wasting money on bullshit do-nothing educational programs so that Mommy and Daddy will have enough left over to play Tooth Fairy.Just so we are clear on just how stupid and/or arrogant Weiner is, it isn’t just Breitbart who has the images. Whoever sent the pictures to Brietbart has them, as well as anyone else she has sent them or retweeted them to, along with the folks at Twitter most likely. Really makes you wonder who was advising Weiner the whole time.
Brietbart would be smart not to release the other picture(s), but they will come out.
With apologies to Ray Stevens…
Oh yes they call him the Geek,
Who now regrets his retweet.
He’s as proud as he can be of his anatomy,
And he (Andy’s?) going to give us a peek.
My, he tried very hard to provide himself with cover, didn’t he? “Elmer Gantry to teh white courtesy phone, Mr. Gantry to the white courtesy phone.”
#14: That’s exactly it. Those pictures are Legion, and they are everywhere.
I think Weiner should stay on and be the
facefull frontal of today’s Democrat Party.This failure probably stems from a lack in his childhood. Most boys are taught early on that you don’t go out in public until you check and make sure that your “Weiner-gate” is zipped up.
670 sex offenders live within just two blocks
I didn’t think they let congressmen live in their offices any more.
