MSNBC's Uygur on Weiner: 'You Know How Many Times I Lied To Girlfriends?'
MSNBC's Cenk Uygur made an on air admission Tuesday that might not only raise some of his boss's eyebrows but could also make a few ex-girlfriends very unhappy.
As he defended Congressman Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) handling of the sex scandal that's riveted the nation for more than a week, Uygur said to his guests, "You know how many times when I was single, and I had girlfriends, you know how many times I lied to them?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CENK UYGUR: When you get into some sort of sexual issue whether it’s the sexting or whether it was Bill Clinton with the intern, you know what you do? You lie, okay? Nobody comes out and says, “Oh, by the way, I’d like to tell you all the terrible things that I’ve done sexually," okay? Nobody in the history of mankind has ever done that, okay?
So, I mean, he lied. So what? You know how many times when I was single, and I had girlfriends, you know how many times I lied to them? Okay? What does that make me not responsible on any other issue?
Well, if your stock in trade is your trustworthiness - say, for instance, you're a political commentator on a cable news network - then being a serial liar would appear to make you unsuitable for the position.
On the other hand, since telling the truth doesn't appear to be a requirement for employment at MSNBC, maybe the ability to seem sincere when you're lying to someone's face is considered a valuable attribute at this so-called news organization.
His bosses might actually be pleased with this revelation.
Who knows - he might even get a raise.

Just think of the things he's done that he isn't proud of. Give this guy a reality show.

He must be so proud of himself, as a result in his on air admission...What a guy, huh? Everyone lies to their girlfriends, don't they?? What's the big deal?? All he did was lie...Right?? No biggie there.

Even after he got married. What a creep
Yep...Nothing has changed for Weiner...

He said that he told his wife about his internet "behavior" before they were married, and yet, she still chose to marry him, why I'll never know. I am sure he told her that he was no longer doing that sort of thing and wouldn't anymore, which of course was a lie. As we now know, he kept right on doing this type of sick stuff, got busted for it, lied repeatedly about it, and finally knew that there was no way out, and admitted it. Weiner is more than a creep...He is a morally bankrupt liar, who apparently is also an internet stalker and appears to have an addiction to sexting and phone sex. I would think that his wife would dump him as fast as she can...I know I would. After this, I wouldn't ever believe another word that ever came out of his mouth.
As for Cenk Uygur, he appears to be a kindred soul to Weiner. This whole story makes one want to take a shower.

Is it just me, or is it not morally acceptable to lie under ANY circumstances? Do most of you continually lie to your girlfriends, fiances & wives?? Do you lie to your bosses? Do you lie to your neighbor? Your friends?? Of course you do not. Neither do I. To lie is to have a huge defect of character. Straight up. To admit to this flaw on national TV & shrug it off as no big deal is simply stunning.

I just got home from work, Dave.............so you got the chance to nail it for me. Shank Hunger is a lying piece of Moooooooooooooooooslem camel crap..............and der Weinerschnitzel is a lying piece of Hebrew fecal matter who's married to a Moooooooooooooooooooooooslem, so I gues what goes around, comes around. And anyway, she's just a woman, so both of these creeps would probably feel justified in lying to her.
We ought put him and that other Turkish Turd - Farakesh (or whatever the hell his name is) on a rickety Cuban canoe, captained by their leader, Boy O'Barry, and aim them back towards the middle east and Africa. And throw Weiner in there with them, and see if he even MAKES it to landfall before even those guys get sick of him and throw him overboard.

Lie: "I'm a stallion in the sack"
Truth: 15 seconds later he's snoring like a hound dog
Lie: "I'll be hanging out with the guys tonight"
Truth: In the basement playing dungeons and dragons while his hoochie is out turnin the tables on him
Lie: "I'm combing my hair"
Truth: You can make your own assessments
Lie: "That's not lipstick on my shirt collar"
Truth: It is ketchup from eating a hot dog like a freakin slob
And last but never least...
Lie: "I'm sorry I had a stressful day at work"
Truth: He forgot to get his prescription filled to help performance, ahem

this absurd statement but I feel who was speaking in more of a political tone than a personal one. He's just keeping with the liberal mantra of lying to women they supposedly love the most. As usual liberals are soul-less and shameless.

There is a BIG difference between lying to a girlfriend and lying to the WHOLE world. Not much, cause both can get you killed, but I expect more from an elected servant for the people. Weiner is not fit to be a United States Congressman. Pelosi is calling for "ethics violations". Who is investigating her treasonous butt? Rangle had ,what, eleven ethics violations, and they gave him a pass. I say, investigate EVERY last one of our so-called Congressmen. Hell, we don't know who to trust, anymore!

The fact that he (A CONGRESSMAN!!) is the type of person that would do that sort of thing, and then, LIE about it, reveals his low moral character.
Rep Weiner is a self deluded, power hungry cretin that has no business in the public eye or in any paid public service. Given his third kind encounter with reality, truth and decency we must assume he is an idiot and should be recalled for bringing filth and dishonor to the good people he is supposed to be leading at home and representing in the House.
I'm pretty sure in all of New York's 9th they can do better than this... weiner.
