Over Time with Bill Maher: June 6, 2014

One of the better editions of this online-only portion of Real Time with Bill Maher. And while I'm dismayed whenever a shyster like Ralph Reed gets a forum like this, others are doubtless annoyed that Anthony Weiner continues to get the same.

Lawrence O'Donnell to Anthony Weiner: "What is Wrong With You?"

Did you watch The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday night? If you didn't, I've got to tell you, you missed probably the most interesting live interview you're likely to see all year. It was riveting, but at the same time repelling. It was uncomfortably awkward, but I couldn't turn away. And I had food on the grill! Suffice it to say, Lawrence wrung all the drama that was left out of Anthony Weiner's failed mayoral campaign, and Weiner--who I'd have felt for, before he proved to be such a douchenozzle--didn't come off so well. You could argue that Lawrence didn't come off well either, but I really think he accomplished exactly what he set out to do.

Carlos Danger Man! (Rocky Mountain Mike Song Parody)

Anthony Weiner gets the Rocky Mountain Mike Treatment, for his online cruising name, "Carlos Danger." To the tune of (what else?) Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers.

 

Anthony Weiner: Clear and Carlos Danger!

By now you know about aspiring New York Mayor Anthony Weiner's latest "not really sex" scandal, in which he referred to himself in sexting as "Carlos Danger." Ira Verklempt, maybe. Irving Meshugga? Anyway, he's got all new nekkid pix with something for the foot fetishists, and something for those who are into pixelization (if anyone can hook me up with the uncensored ones, forward them on, y'hear?). So, don't let it be said that I can't poke fun at a Democrat. And I probably shouldn't have said poke.

Weiner's Seat Taken by Republican

There were two special elections on Tuesday for the House of Representatives. One was Anthony Weiner's seat in Queens/Brooklyn, New York, and one was Dean Heller's in Nevada. Both available seats trace their origins to scandals of a sexual nature (John Ensign and Anthony Weiner). Both were likely very, very low turn-out affairs. Both had some super-duper spending by groups like Karl Rove's American Crossroads on behalf of the Republican candidate.

In both cases, the Republican won. In neither case can it be called a bellwether, in my opinion. Both races were in lonely little special elections with little fanfare. I was struck by AOL/Huffington Post's banner saying "In a stunning upset seen as a rebuke of Obama, a political novice wins the special election to succeed Rep. Weiner."

Really? I'm not stunned. I'm not thrilled, but I'm not stunned. Yes, the New York seat was long a Democratic stronghold, but Weiner pulled out his wiener, and the voters had a spaz.  The Nevada seat was everything but Las Vegas, essentially, long much more red than blue. Maybe this could give the GOP a little bit of buzz? But I wouldn't make too much of it. We are 14 months from the next big election. That's a long time to hang your hat on two odd elections.
