This Is About As Political As Shaboomin Will Ever Get


From: Metropolis

A wealthy New Jersey newspaper publisher who lost a bid for Congress last year has launched an ad campaign urging Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign.
Diane Gooch, a Republican and publisher of a weekly newspaper in Red Bank, N.J., is calling for Weiner’s resignation in an ad at the top of the Drudge Report website and in a commercial that aired Friday morning during Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s weekly radio show. An aide to Weiner declined Friday to comment on the campaign.
On her website, Gooch calls the congressman a “liar,” a “cheater” and a “disgrace,” insisting that he leave the “People’s House immediately.”
Gooch is spending just under $50,000 on the campaign, with ads on radio and the Internet, according to an aide. The ads are being paid for by her political action committee, Strong New Jersey, which she funds personally, Gooch said in an interview.
“I did it because I’m really kind of fed up with the way politicians are behaving,” she said. “I think we have to raise the bar.”
Weiner admitted this week that he engaged in lewd online exchanges with six women, after repeatedly lying about his activities as part of a botched cover-up. A former New York City Council member, the Democratic politician has represented a swath of Brooklyn and Queens in Congress since 1999.


A little late on this post, but I felt it was necessary to take a stance on weinergate.

You have to be joking me with this shit. A gooch attacking a weiner? What is this world coming to? Shit's supposed to be the other way around. And as far as I'm concerned, what a man does with his twitter is his own damn business. If he wants to tweet dick pics to chicks, let him tweet dick pics to chicks. That's what twitter was made for right? And I don't really see how a guy being a little perverted should effect his politics. Yeah, I get how scandals can ruin politicians, but I think the public should reexamine what is worth getting someone fired or ending their career. What if they have great ideas and policies and what not? And they have a twitter account showing the goods? I would campaign for Weiner. That's all I'm sayin.

Dude is seriously ripped though. No homo. Thanks to jew-dick for the article.
