Anthony Weiner Has Some Advice For Michael Grimm: "Don't Do Interviews For A While"
Following NY Rep. Michael Grimm's apology yesterday for threatening to break a reporter in half and throw him off a balcony, none other than former NY Rep. Anthony Weiner had some advice for the cantakerous congressman. Wring in the New York Daily News, Weiner began: "First, if you don’t want to talk about a scandal in which you’re embroiled, whatever that scandal may be, maybe it’s best that you don’t do interviews for a while..." but the snark and irony surges from there.
Weiner's New York Daily News Op-Ed advice begins...
First, if you don’t want to talk about a scandal in which you’re embroiled, whatever that scandal may be, maybe it’s best that you don’t do interviews for a while.
For that matter, you may not want to attend community meetings, visit your office or go a sporting event. Fact is, an investigation that’s hanging over your head is the kind of thing people might be curious about. People ask you about embarrassing stuff even when you want to talk about other things. Especially when you want to talk about other things.
But gets a little snarky...
Better yet, if you don’t want to talk about your fund-raising scandal, maybe just maybe don’t have one to begin with. I only know what I read in the papers about all this. (OK, maybe I know a bit more.) But it does seem like a lot of people are being investigated and indicted in connection with Mikey Suits’campaign.
I’ll leave it to the authorities who are probing this in New York, Washington, Texas and Israel to work out what happened, but it seems like we may be headed for another of those Nixon/Christie “mistakes were made” moments.
And then, in the irony of the decade (given Weiner's outrageous outbursts to his voters and reporters alike)...
If you ignore the first two rules, try answering the questions posed to you, calmly.
I know that “can you tell us about the status of the ethics investigation into you?” sounds like fighting words. But it can actually be an invitation to explain some of the messy doings that have swirled around you since nearly the moment you were elected.
Weiner concludes...
Bottom line, notwithstanding the fact that there are lousy reporters — and that we all pay too much attention to scandals and not enough to all the people in public life who get up every day to do the best they can to do good work — the basic deal of representative government is this: The people who get elected have to be held accountable by the people who pay their salaries.
Sometimes that means getting a certificate of appreciation from the local Kiwanis Club, and sometimes it means having a reporter ask a question you don’t like. If you are living right, there are many many more of the former than the latter. But being an elected official is a high honor. You roll with the punches.
...
I did a terrible job following these rules. I did embarrassing things and made them so much worse by being dishonest about them.
So, people that live in glass houses shouldn't screw there?

Enjoy the cognitive dissonance...
The congressman's actions are NOT assault.
Campaign contributions are NOT bribery.
Carlos Danger giving advice to Miguel Psycho.
It should turn out quite well!!!
Perhaps like Jessie Jackson, Carlos Danger can make a new name for himself as a 'counselor' to errant politicians. Yessir, a new era of ethical politicians.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm thinking, Vice President Danger.
Best you not give some interviews for a while, but let's send some selfies of our dicks to young children, yo.
what the hell is wrong with new yorkers?
Even having lived (and hated every fucking moment of it, except for the food) and worked in the Big Apple, you have me stumped.
There is no explination
You have to admit though, that '...break you like a boy...' comment was well beyond NY bizzare. I laughed my ass off. Ex-jarhead or not, that was absolutely golden.
is he saying he routinely breaks boys in half?
Notice the all seeing eye (of Horus) in the bottom left of the second pic on the microphone...always watching.
.
K, carry on...
What i think he meant is that he routinely partakes in Washingtons favorite pastime...banging young boys against their will while being secretly filmed for some "stakeholders" future reference. Also he thinks he's got a large member.
A real swashbuckeling buttpirate of the USS NAMBLA out of DC... the classy gentleman's choice.
Read "Last Exit to Brooklyn." NYC has been a hellhole for probably well over a century. It might have cleaned up and put on a good face a couple times but the consistent reality is "Last Exit to Brooklyn."
An apt picture of the shithole mere millimeters neath the peeling veneer of civilization.
Well, alot of them live on that horrible concrete prison island. Over time, that'll drive anything even remotely human totally monkeyshit.
Christ, I should talk. I live in Santa Monica.
Weiner gave hime pretty good advice. I kind of like this Michael Grimm after this. If he started throwing banksters off the balcony then he has my vote. Journalist are as slimy as banksters.
And all Canadians posses every bit as much class as Rob Ford and his crack buddy fonestar. Right foneboy?
Actually, I like Canada and Canadians, and find it hard to believe that a person as devoid of class as fonestar chooses to live there, if he actually does. I would expect him to feel out of place and long for more than the one friend he has in Rob Ford. Maybe the Canadian penal system allows prisoners internet access. Anyway, based on the old saying " birds of a feather flock together", I would have expected fonestar to reside in Washington DC.
Still butthurt missing those cheap coins eh?
What are you talking about? Gold coins are still on sale you classless and clueless moron.
That's it!
Take him to the "toolshed", brother.
Damn....
Hey...
I wonder.
If you played fonestar's face backwards on asphalt would it sing "Paul is Dead?" ... or do that tingamajiggie with the Wizard of Oz?
What are you talking about? Gold coins are still on sale you classless and clueless moron.
Haha, right... not nearly as much of a sale as Bitcoin. Gold is the new bronze.
" Gold is the new bronze."
I guess foneystar never tires of demonstrating his lack of intellect. Gold is created as a result of the nuclear fusion process in stars. Bronze is an alloy of primarily copper and tin. Gold and bronze were both in use during the first Egyptian dynasty around 3500BC. The use of gold as an asset likely began a good bit earlier still. Both are widely used today, over 5000 years later, due to their unique and valuable properties. On the other hand, an anonymous NSA agent using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto began development of bitcoin, which has no tangible properties due to the fact that it does not exist in the real world where humans reside, in 2007, with it's first transaction ocurring in early 2009. Gold, and bronze, have unquestionably survived the test of time. With bitcoin it is clearly much too early to judge it's long term usefulness at this point in time. However, based on it's current ability to generate controversy and speculation, coupled with it's internet-only based existence, it is probably best comparison would be to that of now widely unused, former internet phenomenon, myspace.com. Or, in other words, a passing fad.
This has been a public service anouncement.
"BTC is the new digital-tulip"
fonestar realizes the unique properties of bronze and speaks in the sense of invest in gold and you will receive a bronze medal. Bitcoin has stolen the gold medal from gold for the past five years and will continue to do so at a blistering and increasing rate. Additionally, the tards here often cite the meme "gold has been money for 5,000 years"! What a joke, do they realize the only difference between 5 and 5,000 years is 4,995 years?
fonestar is not a member of the public and will not serve.
intrinsic value is important.
Silver, copper & bronze for having copper in it have a value gold does not: on-contact sterilization of bacteria on the surface.
RE:Toolshead - Isn't Rob Ford from New York?
"stay classy America!"
that train left the station long ago. Sadly.
If ya don't tweat yer meat, you can't have any pudding!!!

The reality is our "elected officials" are not so bright relative to the rest of us... they simply want special interest money given to them to spend as they please - debauchery mostly. This is what happens when you elect people to represent your interests who are morally bankrupt people. When the people start running the system (like they're supposed to) in lieu of the inverse (i.e., like now) things may start to improve.

Probably closer to 8=D or maybe 8D.
Please don't encourage him. That was the most horrid pathetic imagery that was ever inflicted on me. Shudders!
Miffed;-)

It was like being raped visually. HELP ME IM BEING RAPED! Wow, who would have thought I'd sound like a feminist.
Miffed;-)
You people are seriously funny today.

So is Weiner implying Grimm shouldn't think with his "little head"?
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your elected officials.

The Grimm Weiner.
It beats the Michael Grimm/John Boehner combo, the Grimm-Weeper ticket.
I'm backing the Weiner/Holder ticket in 2016
I am betting on (Huey) Long/Weiner 2016 !
.
(Elijah) Cummings/ (John) Boehner 2016
Boehner/Cummings !!! :)
(Marcia) Fudge/(Maxine) Waters 2016
Waters/Bush .....when hell freezes over!!!
(George) Holding/ (Anthony) Weiner 2016
how can you miss Holding/Boehner?! :)
EDIT:Holing=Holding
Sadly we do seem to get the politicians we deserve...... Staten Island has a history of astoundingly low standards for elected officials.
yeah but Chicago takes the cake on the corrupt and convicted category. Just think how many more got by w/o investigations!
Hell, Exhibit #1 is now in the White House.
You / we voted them in (scratch head). So whats the real problem? Stop electing these posers.
Anyone who wants the job is a poser.
Now what?
we have been randomly picking people to serve on capital murder cases for a long time. They can't take lobby money, they have serious term limits, they debate it out in the backroom, and they actually make decisions.
...and if they accept money or influence in making their decision, they are punished severely (in most cases.) One can wish.
In The Original Democracy, each public position was drawn by random lot and the position was held for a year. No one ran for anything and no one really wanted the job because it sucked and was thankless. If someone WANTS to be an elected representative that should instantly disqualify the person. The Original Democracy was also founded on the size being governed as able to be walked across within 3 days.
Anyone who wants the job, is morally unfit to hold the job. Anybody who is morally consistent, would refuse the job.
There's a joke in there somewhere about fairytales and dicks, but I just can't get there for some reason...
I'm no fan of Carlos Danger, but I think he's having a little fun giving back the advice that was given to him by a guy who now finds himself in a broken glass house. I'm pretty sure the irony is not lost on Mr. Danger.
As 'Carlos Danger' inserts himself in someone else's scandal, for attention.
I just had a vision. This is going to be the most commented on Z/H article of the day, and I might have an hernia reading it.
...and don't create a Twitter feed for your schlong.
Do schlongs eat twitter feed?
I wish I were a kosher tweeting weiner
then everyone would love advice from me
or maybe...
I wish I were kosher weiner tweeter
then everyone would love advice from me
CUT!
Hmmmm....advice from a sociopath. No matter what, I think I'll just take a pass. That fucking scumbag doesn't even deseve to be posted about on Zero Hedge or anywhere else. Leave that to CNN, CNBS, or Huff Post, etc....where all the other trash like Weiner hangs out.
***yes, I know I just said that. haha
"CNN, CNBS, or Huff Post"
the Soros funded "truth tellers".
If their kids got married they could hyphenate and be Grimm-Weiner. Perfect name for a Fed chairman.
I think I've just gained a little respect for the man after reading that Op-Ed. Seems like consequences of his prior actions and learning your lessons from them might be finally sinking in. That whole piece comes off at least to me as genuine in trying to impart some advice based on his past problems and not some political attack piece. Redemption comes when the change is genuine and not contrived for ulterior motives. I think that lesson may be finally sinking into his head.
Sorry, but sociopaths don't change that quickly.
I don't think Wiener is a socopath but a useful idiot like a Krugman who got delusions of grandeur and was smacked down over it when he started feeling his oats. I also think he had legs cut out from under him over his wife and her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood hence his pot shot at Israel there. The Clintons and in turn the Marxists got one of theirs in either way so he was expendable.
Useful idiots can be rehabilitated because they are brainwashed dupes, sociopaths not so much.
Unfortunately with useful idiots those offering redemption for them usually don't want to rehabilitate them and set them free, just chain them to a new master to do their bidding.
If you don't think the Clintons also aren't on team Marx with Obama.

Rodham was deeply influenced by a 1966 article titled "Change or Containment," which appeared in Motive, a magazine for college-age Methodists. Authored by the Marxist/Maoist theoretician Carl Oglesby, who was a leader of the Students for a Democratic Society, this piece defended Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, and Maoist tactics of violence. Its thesis was that "certain cultural settings" (most notably American capitalism) were inherently inequitable and oppressive, and thus caused people to feel "pain and rage" that sometimes erupted into violence -- like that of "the rioters in Watts or Harlem" -- which was "reactive and provoked" rather than aggressive or malicious. Hillary later said that the Motive article had played a key role in her metamorphosis from Goldwater Republican in 1964 to leftist Democrat in 1968. During her years as First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Clinton would tell a Newsweek reporter that she still treasured the Oglesby piece.[1]
...
In 1969 Hillary wrote her 92-page senior thesis on the theories of radical Chicago organizer Saul Alinsky. A great admirer of Alinsky's activist tactics, she personally interviewed the famed author for her project and concluded her thesis by stating:
Her conclusion also included this sentence: “If the ideals Alinsky espouses were actualized, the result would be social revolution.”
Ultimately, Hillary's investigation of Alinsky's methods and ideals led her to believe that President Lyndon Johnson's federal antipoverty programs did not go far enough in redistributing wealth among the American people and did not give sufficient power to the poor.
...
You know who else is also strongly connected to the SDS. Chucky Cheese Schumer and Bill Ayers through the SDS offshoot the Weathermen.
You know who is strongly connected to the Bill Ayers and Alinsky, Mr. Obama
I always had Bill Clinton as Da Man, but some pieces to the puzzle were lacking. Now the picture is nearly complete: Soros, not as a jew, but purely as a marxist swine, has been screwing with the world, playing his (not so) little fucking social experiment, in the process, destroying ~225 years of hard, productive work, with the help of a handful of "intellectual elitists" none of who ever contributed one iota to the productive side of building this nation, but rather destroying what others have done, for which, each and every one of them should be put in Guantanamo for a while, then dropped off deep in the Everglades!!!
Not that it makes a damn bit of difference. The nation has been destroyed .... FUBAR. The gates removed from the asylum!!!
DCH: Good stuff. Thanks for the background. +1
I think you need to review the defining characteristics of a psychopath.
They have no problems or remorse to associate with the past. They are the unfortunate victims.
He'll be just fine. Because... "If you want to know who rules over you, find out who is allowed to criticize and threaten others, and who is not." - Kirk

This might be the problem of society today, You get promotet up the ladder for Your competence, sooner or later you will ultimatly reach Your incompetence-level....
AKA "The Peter Principle", which fits in with the Grimm-Weiner comments quite nicely! :>D
Who would Anthony Weiner play in The Godfather?
Gangsterment!
Wiener would play Don Fanucci. Easy.
Hello, Carlo.
+100 for the greatest struggle scene in motion picture history aside from the lucabrasi hand scene.
Leave the gun, take the cannoli
Who is Enzo the Baker for 500, Alex
Is the number of "all the people in public life who get up every day to do the best they can to do good work" higher than five?

But, what does Huma Abedin say about it?
Not much because she probably doesn't care. She had the obligatory kid and now finds comfort in another's embraces.
Miffed;-)
She must be the brains of that Jewish/Muslim partnership though, because he certainly isn't...........
Waterboard the motherf'er for making terroristic threats.
There is a strict separation of powers within our government. The Executive Branch would not do such an unconstitutional act.
Looking at this over-compensating macho idiot Grimm I'm thinking maybe he should try his hand -or fist - at fairy tails (sic).
I'll bet he would be the hottest butch in the bar. And he does have a best friend named Wiener. Plus he seems to like tearing little boys in half - or so he claims.
So hey ... go for it tough guy. The stars are aligned just for you.
On a side note.....don't let your schlong hang out, either.....
And to think that a lot of my compatriots would do anything for a green card to relocate in the US.
Don't take this the wrong way, guys, but sometimes I am extremely glad that I am not an American.

Is this a case of a dick telling a johnson not to be a penis?
Grimm/Weiner 2016!!!!
I bet the Tea Party is just as disgusted, like they need a thug ex FBI bully.
Although I would have liked to see him dump Reid over the bannister.
I didn't vote for that.
He should never have said "f*cking" balcony. Not polite, really.
