I play no partisan favorites when it comes to this type of loser behavior; if a Dem or Repub does this sort of despicable thing, they must leave office POST HASTE !

On a related note, the Congressman's ancestors have had a storied career in cinema & music-------------

Mein here's a heartfelt reply from P&R's "baseball troika" :

Btw, mein, it has been my fervent belief that MARVEL has always been VASTLY superior to "slick
whitebread" DC.

Looking forward to seeing "Capt America" movie tomorrow ( in fucking 3D yet ! )

Wow----ANOTHER thread hijacked-----LOL !

free of his firm editorial hand, when Kirby & Ditko went to DC, their work there was far inferior to Marvel.I found their stories there to be heavy handed, & pretentious. Both of them
severely lacked the "panache" Lee brought to characterizations & dialogue.

Btw, I think people are finally coming to the realization that comics are a distinct U.S. art form, ranking alongside jazz.

Lastly, Mein, we neglected to mention what many think was the greatest comic book company of all----

1981, btw, was the launch date of MTV.

Lotta great movies made in the 60's & 70's which brought forth intelligent audiences with actual attention spans to digest the profoudly abstract concepts of the following ( which will be the subject of a forthcoming OP by "moi") :

This is yet another example of how we hold our elected officials to lower standards than in the private sector.  The big excuse for Weiner was he didn't do anything illegal.  If my employer found me cruising girls on Twitter all day and sending dick pics I'm fired immediately.  Not when you're a U.S. Representative.  If you're not in cuffs you keep your job.

So this guy has been acting crazy for a couple of years and most of his staff quit on him?  I'm sure he would cruise to another reelection without the sex scandal even though he was having some kind of serious emotional problems.

Everything I read said that Lee came up with very, very broad ideas and Ditko and Kirby did all the heavy lifting.  Then Lee would take the glory.  Lee does seem to have a huge ego appearing in every Marvel film.

BTW, Captain America was the best Superhero movie since the first Iron Man

I know you want to bag on her, but that was weak! Try again when you have something more substantive!

Nancy pelosi...the one who swore she rid the DC of sex scandals, is NOT on the case...says she is too busy elsewhere.....so much for that dictate....all show..no go.

She talked to him. She's recommended that the whole affair be referred to the House Ethics Committee. What else is there for her to do? You would have her spend time focusing on this issue when the government has real crisis's to deal with?

Maybe you should have listened to the report you posted before you posted it???  

You are right Matt...that is what she did last November regarding earlier allogations.  As the clip you posted indicated, she is far too buzy with the current finacials to deal with these new allogations...  I don't blame her...I'd run as far away from this congressman as I could get as well!!!

MSNBC......chris matthews!
