BREAKING: Breitbart WINS!
According to our professional news persons (who report the news BEFORE it happens, more and more often), Anthony Weiner will announce his resignation from Congress at 2 PM, EDT, in Brooklyn, New York.
So, in keeping with this premature ejaculation of reportage, Andrew Breitbart and (anonymous) Publius (who broke the story) ought be pointed out for their instrumental role in taking out one of the few Democrats in Washington, D.C. willing to fight back against the Breitbartian Thugocracy — that not only pound their Bibles to make their points, but often pound them ON the opposition, and anyone willing to dispute their points.
How proud they must be!
And now that they’ve succeeded in silencing an annoying voice, we can all take solace that Mr. Breitbart will be content with his trophy, and downsize his anti-ACORN, Planned Parenthood, NPR, Andrew Weiner, Shirley Sherrod operation and become a beloved and familiar American folk hero at State Fairs for years to come.
Courage.*

I knew the far Left would be upset that one of their own failed in a spectacular manner, but wow.
[shaking head at the waste]
I’m with DLS on this one.
Yes, it can’t be Weiner’s fault, can it? That would imply responsibility for one’s own actions, and that is not part of the Democratic platform.
And Dan Rather? HE is your poster boy? HA HA HA HA!
Blaming Brietbart instead of Weiner himself? Hoo boy. Breitbart is an ass, but this time he was right.
Kill the messenger, he is often not very appetizing with all that dirt.
Well put, DaGoat. Conspiracy this was not. I’m sure Breitbart is happy and perhaps even gloating, but this was hardly something that would have required much digging in the dirt to find.
Poor Dan Rather. Brought down for lying. Terrible thing to happen to a journalist.
By this logic, I suspect we should feel pity for Nixon. After all, without those meanies, Woodward and Bernstein, we would never have had Jimmy Carter.
On the plus side, we have another moderate guest here at TMV
I’m not a big fan of Breitbart myself. But this post seems to be a classic case of shooting the messenger.
