Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke on the House floor tonight in support of H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which was blocked from passage by House Republicans. Rep. Weiner addresses some of the false arguments Republicans were using in their opposition to the bill. The vote was 255 to 159 in support of the bill, short of the 2/3 needed for passage; 155 Republicans voted against the legislation, which provides medical monitoring and treatment to World Trade Center responders and survivors who were exposed to the toxins at Ground Zero.

YES...leader Pelosi, I agree with Saxman, I was ashamed of you guys-you and the president-for throwing him under the bus. He stood by you and sold your policies to the people as if they were his...you didn't have to defend what he did, all you had to do was stand by him like a friend will do. But you chose politics. That day, I lost faith in President Obama, he had become just another politician to me.

Who doesn't have the ability to yell and scream? Anthony Weiner represented only himself and anyone who supported him represents the worst of America those abusing the system!

and now YOU, "Leader Pelosi", have thrown this great, passionate, relentless Democratic fighter UNDER THE BUS! Shamefully caving to those who work (as tirelessly as Weiner did for the under-served) for the rich and powerful. Your spinelessness disgusts me.

A great man, a flawed person, but a great fighter for those who most need his voice. But after what he did, if he tried to give that same speech, all people would think about was the picture of his cock. Or his bulging briefs. Sad.

@MyComputerwizard Exactly. He ruined a great career, and the people of N.Y.C. and beyond lose. What a douche. Why would ANYONE do what he did and not think it would become public? Or that anyone would believe it was a prank? Dumb fuck.

@JanusChristIsRisen Maybe now Anthony Weiner and yourself can become good friends and go spray paint graffiti on garbage dumpsters together.

= ( I do not respect how he acts in his personal life, but you cannot tell me that this is not a man who did not represent his constituency to his best ability.
