- Anthony's Weiner?


I've described Anthony Weiner as the biggest Jerk in congress. That's a bold statement given the running, but I'm convinced he deserves it. This past week, the twitter account of the congressman from NY sent a lewd photo of male genitalia to a young college coed.

The congressman's reaction when the photo became public was to declare it a hacker who sent the photo, and to lawyer up instantly. Hardly a position that inspires confidence if you ask me... especially from an erected elected official. Next we'll probably be hearing about his wide stance.

When I originally learned that the congressman was a heterosexual, I was genuinely surprised. This would certainly seem to confirm it. And with just a little luck, this sordid story will play out in a way that spares the rest of us having to put up with the pecker-head in congress. No one this obnoxious should ever be in a position of authority.

OFF TOPIC:
I saw this posted on Drudge.. curious as to your thoughts now on the possibility of QE-III happening.

I keep hoping that Congress continues to refuse to raise the debt ceiling. The Fed can't buy treasuries if Congress prevents them from being issued.

Sadly, I think the Republicans will cave after getting some nominal budget cuts, which won't kick in until years in the future.

I've been talking about QE3 for ages in private. I thought we were going to get it, even when it was an unpopular view among my peers. The numbers are generally confirming my strategic view.

I have some time today so I'll try to put something up about it.
