Disgraced Weiner Showing Anthony Weiner is Eligible for House Pension on $1.3 Million at Tax Payers Expense

Can some one explain how Weiner is being held accountable for his actions?

Isn’t this special, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) remains eligible for his sizable federal pension as a House US Rep even though he resigned in disgrace amid a sexting scandal.Ever wonder what’s wrong with our government? Disgraced scum bags take no responsibilities for their actions and are not held accountable for their actions. Even after Weiner shows his “weiner” and diminishes his office as a People’s Rep, Weiner still receives a $1.3 million pension. The US tax payers are still on the hook for this joke of a Congressman.

Anthony Weiner to Tax Payer … Show Me the Money Pension

Weiner could receive almost $1.3 million in taxpayer funds over his lifetime, depending on his contributions to the voluntary program and when he chooses to draw down his pension benefits, the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) reported.

“Anthony Weiner’s resignation from Congress may have put an end to the ‘distractions’ and ‘embarrassments’ that prevented him from getting back to work, but for American taxpayers, the scandal may have only just begun,” NTU Executive Vice President Pete Sepp said Friday in a statement.

Makes one want to be a “weiner” showing Congressman that resigns from office, eh? As Weasel Zippers states … “Only in Congress”.

Under federal pension rules, Weiner could begin drawing down reduced benefits 10 years from now, when he turns 56. Under that scenario, he could collect up to $32,357 annually, totaling $1.12 million over his lifetime, NTU estimates.

If he opts to take the full pension — which kicks in at age 62 — he could receive $46,224 each year, totaling $1.28 million over his lifetime, NTU found.

BTW, in his exit press conference, did Weiner say thank you suckers for his pension?

Barack Obama on Weiner’s Resignation … I am Confident “they’ll end up being able to bounce back.”

Obama’s prediction …

Prior to Weiner’s resignation, President Barack Obama chimed and stated that if he were Weiner, he would resign. Now that Weiner has resigned is disgrace amid the sexting scandal, Obama now tells ABC’s GMA that Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, that he is confident that “they’ll end up being able to bounce back.” This coming from the President who also predicted that a $787 billion stimulus package would keep unemployment below 8.0%. With all the issues going on in America, Obama once again discusses Anthony Weiner. How about them jobs Mr. President?

He’ll bounce back … yea that’s the ticket, now get outta here

President Obama said he is confident that embattled New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, can bounce back from the sexting scandal that ended the Democrat’s congressional career.

“I wish Rep. Weiner and his lovely wife well,” Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts to air on “Good Morning America” Friday. “Obviously, it’s been a tough incident for him, but I’m confident that they’ll refocus and he’ll refocus, and they’ll end up being able to bounce back.”

The UK Telegraph lists 10 jobs that Weiner could immediately step into now that he finds himself unemployed. Here are a couple listed below:

  1. Hot Dog salesman
  2. Fedex Spokesman
  3. CNN host
  4. President of the United States

Yesterday, Anthony Weiner held a press conference to announce his resignation. Why? Once again Weiner had to make himself the center of attention which speaks to the reason why he finds himself in the middle of a sexting scandal and resigning from office. Needless to say, the presser became a 3 Ring Circus. What else would one expect when a many named Weiner takes pics of his Weiner and brilliantly decides to send it to women? It could not have been more of a ridiculous and fitting ending to a man who disgraced himself, his family and his office.

Gallup Poll: Registered Voters More Likely to Vote for Generic Republican Candidate than Barack Obama 44% to 39%

Barack Obama a “One Term” President in 2012?

According to the most recent Gallup poll, 44%  of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for “the Republican Party’s candidate” and 39% for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. Making matters worse for Obama is that with Independents, 42% chose the generic GOP candidate, 32% chose Obama and 26% have no opinion.

It would appear that Rasmussen registered voters side with the unnamed GOP candidate over Obama as well.Does this mean that the GOP will win in 2012, no. But as stated at NRO, it certainly means that Obama is beatable.

With an economy getting worse, no job growth and a housing market that his hit the skids again, Obama will have a difficult time getting reelected when he was elected in 2008 to fix the economy. His policies have failed and so has he.

Big Bear High School Year Books Recalled after Child Pornography Pic Discovered

YIKES!!! DOES ANY ONE EDIT YEAR BOOKS ANYMORE?

The 2011 year books at Big Bear High school in San Bernardino County, CA were asked to be returned in order to edit a photo that appeared in the book that does not comply with federal and state laws regarding child pornography. Most students have returned the book for editing; however, some have not. Authorities have warned that those who are still in possession of the book with the photograph risk criminal charges involving the possession of child pornography.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials said they became aware of the picture on Tuesday and have asked students to return the 2011 Big Bear High School yearbooks to the school to “facilitate editing of the yearbooks to comply with federal and state laws regarding child pornography.” Most students have done so, officials said, and officers are contacting those who haven’t to round up the missing yearbooks.

UPDATE I: The pic that seems to be at the center of this controvery depicts a 17 year old male student with his hand inside the clothing of a 15 year old female student. That’s the pic that is considered child porn? Can you imagine the photos that are on high school student’s phones across America?

Cindy Bachman, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, said the students appear in the background of the photo and “are not the intended focus of the photograph.” The picture was taken at a school dance.

However, authorities said they were concerned enough about the picture that they demanded that all Big Bear High School students return their 2011 yearbooks to the school so that the photo can be removed or covered up. They also warned that those possessing the photograph risk criminal charges involving the possession of child pornography.

Pressure Mounts … Anthony Weiner Reported to be Resigning in Wake of Weinergate

It would appear that Anthony Weiner’s rope is at an end … according to sources close to Weiner, he will resign.

As reported at the Politico, Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is going to step down from Congress and resign. This scandal and story has gone on far too long. Any individual with any common sense or shame would have resigned two days after the scandal surfaced. Big Government is saying that the resignation will come today.  There will be a presser at his office at 2 today.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) will resign from his seat in Congress, heeding calls from President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and dozens of other congressional Democrats, sources confirm to POLITICO.

The resignation ends nearly three weeks of tumultuous political controversy since the New York congressman sent a lewd picture of himself over Twitter on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. After spending over a week claiming that the photo was sent by someone who hacked his account, Weiner admitted last Monday that he had sent it himself, and that he had carried on online sexual relationships with at least six women in the last three years.

It was just last week that news stories were released that Weiner was considering resigning from office as more and more sordid details were released. However, as we stated from the outset of this scandal, it was only a matter of time. Weiner was just biding his time and extending this scandal for no other reason than to try and save his political career. That was never going to happen. He was toast then and he is toast now.

More from NewsBusters … how will the MSM react to Weiner going bye, bye?

UPDATE I: WEINER OUT!!!

Prince Harry Granted His Wish To Return To Afghanistan as an Apache Attack Helicopter…

Finally, a “Royal” who can be royally admired. According to the UK Telegraph, Prince Harry has been granted his wish to return to Afghanistan as an Apache attack helicopter pilot. Although he will not be returning to the front lines as he did in a previous tour, Prince Harry will be flying Apache attack helicopters. A “Royal” that all can truly be proud of.

The Prince, who was hastily withdrawn from a tour of Helmand in 2008 after his position was compromised by foreign media reports, has often expressed the desire to return to the front line.

Now he is set to be granted another tour when his squadron is deployed to Afghanistan next year, by which time he should have completed his Apache pilot training.

Clarence House said the Prince would complete his training next year and would then be available for deployment wherever Apaches were needed – including Afghanistan.
