Rep. Anthony Weiner lost the support of the leader of his party when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced on Monday that, "I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred."
[Snip]
The wily eight-term congressman refused to resign his office, claiming that he did not break any rules or laws because he he didn't use any government resources for his sexual predator actions. “I don't believe that I used any government resources,” he said. Mr. Weiner also claimed, “my Blackberry is not a government Blackberry. My home computer is usually where I did these things.”

Although Mr. Weiner claims to have not used any taxpayer funded resources for his sexual peccadilloes, he has lied long enough that the Ethics Committee will need to investigate his office computer, phone records and Blackberry. The committee rules are based on the Code of Official Conduct for the House. The first rule is that a member, “shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” Mr. Weiner sending sexual photos of himself and highly charged sexting message to strangers clearly violates this rule.
The Office of Congressional Ethics – which was begun under then-Speaker Pelosi to allow for outside groups to file complaints about Members of Congress – would not respond if it was investigating Mr. Weiner.
Perhaps if Mr. Weiner had admitted immediately to sending the Tweet, the onetime New York mayoral candidate might have come out of this, but the lying and deceit make a clean getaway impossible now. Since the Twitter photo was uncovered by Andrew Brietbart a little over a week ago, Mr. Weiner has held repeated press conferences to openly lie to cover up...

He’s a POS.....I hope his wife wakes up and rakes him to the coal and then leaves his sorry a$$.....
Congress has ethics? Imagine that.
....this is probably next weeks news, when they find out there were minors involved....he did act quickly when the second woman surfaced, it's Tiger all over again
Where the GOP congressmen calling for him to resign?
LOL stumbled across the pic and I’ve been looking for a place to use it.
Ah weiner woe, ah weiner woe, ah weiner woe, Ah weiner woe, ah weiner woe, ah weiner woe, In the jungle the mighty jungle, The Weiner tweets tonight, Near the village, the quiet village The Weiner tweets tonight, Ee-e-e-hum-huma-weh Ee-e-e-hum-huma-weh
I’m glad hes staying. I like having the alcee Hastings williAm Jeffersons, Charlie rangles etc to illustrate the culture of corruption of the Dem party.
Won’t surprise me if Weiner doesn’t resign but instead sends himself off to some beachside retreat for therapy for “sexting addiction” and then comes back and pronounces himself “cured.”
In his next election, he will bravely speak out as a champion on behalf of all people struggling with sexting addiction.
Heck she was fully supportive of BJ Clinton, and he was having a real physical tryst with a barely legal age govt employee under his supervision. Compared to that, Weenie is a paragon of ethics.
Suck it up, better yet check to see where the Frill you left your marbles and take them back.
Death of a loved or Birth of a Child. Maybe.
Everything else Yeesh.
“No, that wasn’t my actual penis in the photo! That was just a representative Weiner!”
“Pelosi is an idiot, but we knew that. By NOT calling on him to immediately resign, she will soon, in a day or so, when the last pic comes out, find herself defending the right to remain in the House of a congressman who posted a pic of humself, naked, and fully erect, online..”
Yep.
Drip, drip, drip.
Funny we haven’t heard from the feminazis. Not a word from NOW, not a word from the Code Pinkos, NOTHING!
I'll hand it to him for just being able to stand up with all those medals.
It’s too late. The Weener shoulda resigned about 8 years ago.
Can we bet the farm on that?
Bela Pelosi is delegating the job to others.
That’s how it’s done within the clubs of the privileged.
It will come, unless the rot is so deep that there is no hope.
