White House takes "Hands Off Weiner" Approach

White House won't say Weiner should resign

By Sam Youngman - 06/13/11 11:32 AM ET

A White House spokesman said Monday that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) is a "distraction" from important issues, but he stopped short of calling for Weiner's resignation.

White House press secretary Jay Carney, who refused to comment on the scandal last week, said Monday that "the president feels, we feel at the White House this is a distraction."

10 Weiner rules for the Congressman that the rest of us learned in kindergarten (explicit)

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

For an entertaining departure from the norm, today we take issue with Rep. Anthony Weiner's claim that his recent actions were caused by him having a "sickness" for which he needs "treatment."

Maybe he only needs manners. Or maybe he should have learned what I'm now calling the "10 Weiner Rules" that the rest of us men learned in kindergarten. If you're up for some humor this weekend, read more (explicit):

Rule #1) (We just covered this one.) Don't show your wiener to the other schoolchildren. Even if you think they might be impressed.

Rule #2) Your wiener is not welcome to the party unless it is invited. No surprise show-ups.

Rule #3) "If you show me yours, I'll show you mine" is not a cool pick-up line. Not even if you offer to show yours first, it turns out.

Rule #4) The power of the wiener is nothing compared to the power of the press.

Rule #5) Your wiener is supposed to be camera shy. If it isn't, it's time to have a talk with it and explain a few things. This is called "counseling." Try not to video record this counseling session and post it on Youtube, or you just might get a million new amazed fans overnight.

Rule #6) If you get caught showing your wiener to others, it is not acceptable to use the excuse, "It's afraid of the dark and just wanted to have a look around..."

Rule #7) If your wiener had its own hands, it could send tweets for you. But since it doesn't, it can't. And that means YOU tweeted it, you twit.

Rule #8) Never send social networking messages with your mouse in one hand and your wiener in the other. Sometimes the mind confuses left and right and you end up submitting the wrong thing to the wrong place. Practice safe computing. (Corollary to Rule #8 - There is no UNDO function on Twitter.)

Rule #9) Whatever you get caught doing that involves your wiener, just scream, "I'm seeking treatment!" If you drool a little, too, this will earn you pity points instead of perv points. After your treatment, you can always announce you're "cured" and be called a hero for overcoming a serious mental disease. Then you can sell yellow "Wienerstrong" bracelets that young people wear as a fashion statement to feign support for your disease.

Rule #10) This is the most important rule: Never let little wiener do the thinking for big Weiner, because this tends to get big Weiner into trouble! This is actually a sensible rule for Congressmen, husbands and Catholic priests, come to think of it.
