“So Congressman Weiner Lied!”

The ReadyWriter

After days of denials, the choked-up New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed that he tweeted a photo of his bulging underwear to a woman and even admitted to “inappropriate” exchanges with six women before and after getting married. He apologized for lying but said he would not resign.

If you recall, on May 13, BigGovernment.com broke the ‘Weinergate’ scandal after Weiner allegedly tweeted a graphic photo of himself in an advanced state of arousal to a 21-year-old college co-ed.

Within seconds, the tweet was snatched down and Weiner claimed his Twitter page had been hacked.

Weiner said at a news conference that he had never personally met any of the women he corresponded with online and sometimes via telephone, and was not even sure of their ages. He also said he had never had sex outside of his marriage. Mm, wonder if that’s a lie too?

In the meantime, Weiner’s submissive wife Huma Abedin returned to work on Monday as the aide of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, like nothing had even happened.

“Rev. Al Sharpton Stands By That Tawana Brawley Case”

The ReadyWriter

Whenever I speak of the good right Reverend Al Sharpton here on this blog, some of my readers mention his handling of the Tawana Brawley case. Here we are 24 years later and Sharpton still stands by a story that the courts of law and public opinion have ruled a hoax.

When asked on the CBS’ “60 Minutes” to explain why he never apologized for the accusations that proved false, Sharpton said, “I don’t know that.” “I have thought about that a million times,” – “I just don’t believe they treated that case fair.”

In 1987, 15-year-old Tawana Brawley claimed she had been raped, abducted and held for four days by a group of white men and one cop. She was found in a garbage bag, covered in feces and charcoal-scrawled racial epithets all over her.

Sharpton at the time, was a young, inexperienced activist when he took over publicity for Brawley and made inflammatory accusations of a massive cover up, even naming an assistant district attorney as one of the rapists.

The case fell apart when a grand jury refused to indict those accused, citing no physical evidence of rape was evident. Witnesses said, they had also seen Brawley publicly, at the time she was supposedly held captive.

So for those of my readers who continue to hound this issue, you need to know: Sharpton may not be where he was politically, economically and financially in 1987 but he still refuses to admit he was wrong or mislead in the Brawley case.

“Eddie Long May Go To Trial – He’ll Need 5 More Rocks”

The ReadyWriter

According to news reports the good Bishop Eddie Long’s case may be going to trial after all.

At first all parties involved, were close to a successful settlement but the Judge in the case said he is now preparing for a trial. Judge Johnny Panos didn’t say why the mediation isn’t working, but he revealed that he could start hearing testimony in the fall.

Bishop Eddie Long is being sued by four former members of his New Birth “Missionary” Baptist Church congregation and his “Long Fellow Academy”, who say the Bishop used his power to coerce them into sexual relationships.

Just last month, during the week of Easter Judge Panos said the parties were close to a settlement, now he is telling WSBTV that he is preparing for a trial. The judge says if there is no settlement reached, a trial will begin in August or September.

“Cher’s Daughter Chaz Bono Thinks Little Shiloh Jolie Pitt”

The ReadyWriter

Will grow up to be a man like her.

The surgically crafted man, formerly known as Sonny and Cher’s daughter Chastity, just released a book and a documentary about becoming a man. Although Chaz/Chasity still has a vagina, the lesbian/transgender discusses in her book, life as a boy trapped in a girl’s body.

Chaz/Chasity volunteers with a support group for children who have gender identity issues and their families. “I relate to these kids,” he/she says. “The difference between them and myself is that I didn’t articulate it and fight for it and say, ‘No, no, no! I’m a boy!’ I have so much respect for these kids that do.”

Bono doesn’t know Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and wouldn’t assume anything about their daughter Shiloh’s choice to dress more boyishly, but the media’s attention to the story did shed some light on gender identity. “I would love to talk to them at some point,” Bono says, “to at least let them know we have resources for them if they ever need it.”

So what Chaz/Chasity is saying is that, Shiloh is a tomboy, not because she has two older brothers, but because deep down inside she knows she was supposed to be born a boy?? And again I say: “The devil is a liar!”

“Tyler Perry Told Spike Lee To Go “Straight To Hell”

The ReadyWriter

Yes it’s a war of words between the two directors as Tyler Perry expressed his frustration regarding Spike Lee’s constant talk and criticism of his films. Spike said that Perry’s films “harken back to ‘Amos n’ Andy’.”

Mr. Perry in the meantime defended his films saying they are both spiritually uplifting and fun, but his words for Spike Lee were blunt and harsh in a press conference to promote “Madea’s Big Happy Family”.

“I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee,” Perry said during the press conference. “Spike can go straight to hell! And you can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, ‘this is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘you vote by what you see,’ as if black people don’t know what they want to see.”

Tyler Perry’s films are consistent high performance at the box office; all independently financed, they’ve taken in over $520 million in ticket sales over the past six years. He recently extended his deal with distributor Lionsgate, with whom he has worked with since 2005. Spike Lee is still critical of Tyler Perry in spite of that success.

Spike said: “Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is coonery and buffoonery,” he said. “I know it’s making a lot of money and breaking records, but we can do better. … I am a huge basketball fan, and when I watch the games on TNT, I see these two ads for these two shows (Tyler Perry’s ‘Meet the Browns’ and ‘House of Payne’), and I am scratching my head. We got a black president, and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep ‘n’ Eat?”

Is Spike a little jealous maybe of Tyler Perry’s success? I say both men hook up and produce a film together, now that would be interesting.
