Anthony Weiner would have been 'rendered impotent' in Congress, Sarah Palin says

Anthony Weiner jokes are so easy that even Sarah Palin got into the act, saying the gentleman was correct in stepping down from his congressional seat.

“Anthony Weiner, from henceforth after his personal indiscretions were disclosed, he was going to be rendered impotent basically in Congress and he wasn’t going to be effective," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said on "Freedom Watch" on the Fox Business Network in an interview that will air this evening.

"Obviously it was the right thing to do. Day late dollar short though; I think he should have resigned when all of this came to light," hockey mom and Fox News contributor said.

Freedom Watch host Judge Andrew Paolo Napolitano asked Palin how she felt in the wake of tens of thousands of her emails being released recently.

"It certainly shows the priorities in what was once a respected cornerstone of our democracy; our mainstream media and we see that priorities are quite skewed. With the gusto they went after my emails; I hope folks who read the emails learned a lot about energy independence, fish and game conservation, protecting 2nd Amendment rights, why I opposed [President] Obama’s stimulus package," Palin said Thursday.

"I hope folks learned a lot from these benign and boring emails, but it showed a picture of what my priorities were, with a servant’s heart, trying to serve the people of Alaska. I knew there was nothing to hide because I know what I have done over these years," she told Napolitano.

Palin and her daughter Bristol both successfully trademarked their names and likenesses, U.S. News and World Report said Friday.

The clear sailing for both Palins is something of a surprise considering the attention they draw from detractors.

Aw, the lady has a gift for words. She drives the Left batty. "The Undefeated" will not be deterred.

Glamorous, gracious Gov. Sarah Palin gamely stood her ground in grueling interview with Judge Napolitano. She correctly observed that Tony Weiner had rendered himself politically impotent, but at least she didn't predict that his replacement would be a flaccid fowl,,,er, lame duck.

Andrew, with the Anthony Weiner saga now - hopefully - behind us, maybe some time should be devoted to an examination of the phenomenon of THE BAD DEMOCRAT.

Within the last few years we've seen three classic examples of this phenomenon: John Edwards, Rod Blagojevich and Anthony Weiner. Each of these gentlemen found himself in the crosshairs of the MSM, and never - really - recovered. Somehow, while other Democrats guilty of sins as bad or worse were given a pass, these three men were treated like Republicans. Why?

First of all, they were safe targets: each one was/is a straight, white male.

The MSM needs the occasional "safe" whipping boy to throw in the face of those - on the right - who complain about media bias. Folks within the MSM will report that x-amount of MSM time and attention has been devoted to scandals surrounding Republicans, and y-amount of the same was devoted to Democrats; and, of course, x and y are similar amounts. What is not underlined is the fact that the number of Republican scandals exposed and pursued far outnumber the Democrat scandals: all of the latter pertain to the three gentlemen listed above.

Malcolm, here's the obvious question to end with: which lucky Democrat will follow Weiner, Blagojevich and Edwards into the MSM crosshairs?
