Anthony Weiner sexting scandal: Congressman's constituents post sign calling for him to resign BY Mark Morales, Ellen Durkin and Corky Siemaszko DAILY NEWS WRITERS

Some of Rep. Anthony Weiner's constituents made it clear Tuesday they want him gone.

"Resign Pervert Weiner," read the sign taped on the window of his Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, office.

Whoever posted that was speaking on behalf of many of Weiner's dismayed former supporters in Queens and Brooklyn, many of whom called for his ouster after he admitted to seamy sext-capades with six women - and lying about it.

"I think he should be barred out of politics. He's disgusting and a pervert," Ronnie Homan, 50, of Borough Park, Brooklyn, said after Weiner made his tearful admission Monday.

Maya Goldstein, 44, of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, agreed, and said the congressman's teary TV breakdown shows he needs help.

"He should resign immediately because of his lies," she said. "He should get some therapy... When it comes time for reelection, I'm definitely not voting for him."

Still, others said Weiner's flaws have nothing to do with his job.

"He manned up to his actions. He took responsibility," said Carl Cottow, 26, of Sheepshead Bay. "He's only human."

"He was foolish, but he didn't commit any crimes," he said.

The tawdry admissions earned Weiner one fan. "Who cares? He's a man. He's not like a preacher. I'd rather vote for him now that I know he's down to earth," said Steve Acevedo, 25, of Sheepshead Bay

The sideshow takes the heat off the kenyan marxist pig and his destruction of our economy. Forget weinie and keep your eye on Obutthead.

When the U.S. dollar dies and our financial system collapses we are not going to be able to get all of the things that we need from the rest of the world so cheaply any longer. That is going to cause fundamental changes inside the United States. Right now, the economic news just seems to get worse and worse, but this is just the beginning. What is eventually going to happen in this country is going to be so nightmarish that most Americans could not even imagine it right now. So are our leaders doing anything to prepare for the coming economic crisis? No, they are too busy with other things. The big political news of the day was U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner finally admitting that he sent out lewd photos of himself over Twitter to women that he was not married to. We have become the laughingstock of the world and the economic collapse has not even happened yet.

Weiner has a safe Dem district and will be for forced to resign by his party leaders.

I'm sure they already have his replacement picked and ready to run in a special election.

It's always the cover-up that causes the biggest problem. Weiner lied for 10 days, loudly and repeatedly, and allowed Breitbart to be accused of hacking and defaming him. He was quiet while Breitbart was savaged by the Weiner Brigade. Only after Breitbart came up with additional photos and information did the Weiner finally fess up. He took responsibility for nothing and only came clean after he painted his butt into a corner.

LWhy he’d go down on himself if he could. Total narcissist!

It has been inferred that the picture that Brietbart has shows Weiner doing exactly what you describe....

Watched the interview with Breitbart on Hannity last night. Apparently, there are some pretty nasty pictures. Breitbart hinted that he might release them if the “attack machine” went after the girls that Weiner sent the pictures to.

That is the MO of the Left — attack and discredit the accuser.

Warning to Weiner and his attack dogs — leave it alone; walk away.

“He took responsibility.”

I have no idea what this phrase means.

Here’s a guess: “I’m blabbing because I got caught, but I don’t what be penalized for being found out. BTW, have you noticed that I’m so sorry, I’m crying?”

Putz.

Weiner doesn’t need to wait for election time. His constituents are speaking and it ain’t pretty like he fantasizes. The guy is a totally narcissist who lives in an imaginal world.

Ted Kennedy, BJ Clinton, and John Edwards are Democrat icons guilty of doing far worse.

I see a successful future for Weenie in the party.
