| Andrew Breitbart |
Give credit to News New Mexico's Rachel Pulaski. She brought up the work of investigative Internet reporter Andrew Breitbart on the Weiner story early in the morning on Tuesday May 31st. For awhile it looked like Breitbart had seemingly done all he could do to expose Anthony Weiner. And just when we thought the Weiner story was going to finally go limp, it jumped back to life. Rachel predicted the resurrection again this morning on our show. We confess. We have had more than our fair share of fun telling Weiner jokes on our radio show. And yes, we admit we actually snickered constantly. But we truly thought that the Weiner story might have finally reached a climax and petered out. Then this afternoon our suspicions were aroused again. And as our interest was resurrected when we got wind of the announcement of a pending press conference involving Weiner, the anticipation was pulsating. Rumors of what was coming were actually leaked by Weiner’s staff. And the Internet chatter suggested something big might be coming.
The Weiner press conference did not disappoint. The most watched member of Congress openly acknowledged he had stiffed reporters all of last week. In fact, all of the lies Weiner told during the painful process of the Weiner probe were finally revealed for all to see.

We openly admit we were glued to the screen as it became apparent pretty early in the press conference that Weiner was coming to grips with the truth. Eventually we got confirmation that everything released by apologists like the website Daily Kos turned out to be a cover up of Weiner’s shortcomings. Though Weiner was at one time a person political analysts considered a master debater, this afternoon he failed to perform. Knowing Breitbart had the goods on him, Weiner was forced to acknowledge the naked truth. As we watched and became completely enthralled with the proceeding, the press beat on Weiner for an hour. For awhile Weiner held up well under the penetrating questions of the reporters. But in the end Weiner was humiliated and spent.

| Anthony Weiner |
Though Weiner had been dripping half truths and innuendos to the press for a week, ultimately the New York Congressman had to swallow all sense of dignity and admit that he had failed to rise to the level that is worthy of one of the four hundred and thirty five most distinguished elected officials in the land. Still Weiner refused to withdraw and resign. Whether Congressman Weiner will be able to weather the firestorm of disdain is an open question. We are sad. Sad that Weiner failed to consummate his responsibilities, and even more sad that now we will have to talk about silly stuff like rising unemployment and the fact that half the households in this country don’t pay any federal income tax to support our wonderful government. Pity.
