Weiner: I’m not resigning
WaPo ^ | 6/9/11 | Felicia Sonmez

Posted on 06/09/2011 11:49:26 AM PDT by markomalley

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner maintained Thursday that he does not plan to resign his seat, despite growing calls from members of his own party for the seven-term congressman to step down in the wake of his admission that he conducted inappropriate online communications with at least six women.

“I’m not,” Weiner told a reporter for the New York Post on Thursday when asked if he planned to resign. “I’m going to get back to work as best I can.”

Weiner said that he is working on making amends with his wife, senior State Department aide Huma Abedin, who the New York Times reported Wednesday is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

The U.S. Government is full of corrupt arrogant deviates.

I didn’t think he was going to resign because he is a amoral idiot who thinks he’s Bill Clinton. If anybody wants to point at what is wrong with the VALUES of the democrat party he is Poster Boy, par excellence!

Stand firm, Tony! Stiffen your resolve against all your detractors. Show them what you're made of ......(wait, you already have.)

Weiner went on to say:

” am not shrinking from this. I am not withering away. I am erect and tall with my head held high. I will continue to stiffly resist these penetrating questions and ......

At this point Weiner got a call on his cell phone. “Excuse me, I have to take this”, at which point he unzipped his trousers, and shoved the phone into his pants.

I need this job.Have you seen how bad the economy is?

I wonder if there's not some truth to this. I would like to know more about his lifestyle. When we think of these politicians, we so often think they have limitless cash reserves, but my guess is that's rarely the case.

You figure this guy has a place in Queens and DC. That's expensive.

Anybody know what this guy did pre-politics? Is he an attorney? Would he be capable of going into private practice? That's not much of a living for a lot of lawyers these days - you really need to be good to make a go of it.

I agree.

Liberals know hoe to scheme, because their ideologies can not hold up to reason.

I thought if this wiener problem lasted more than four hours he was supposed to call a doctor immediately. He could hurt himself.

Hope he stays in office.

Republicans need all the cannon fodder they can get in the 2012 campaign.

Ready, Aim, Fire!!!

His government retirement and healthcare means he’ll never have to worry about finding a job.

Anthony is missing one essential fact - in the end it’s not up to him whether he stays or he goes. If the DNC crime machine wants him gone - he’s gone. They might have to go to the mattresses to make him gone - but gone he will be.

Indeed. Weiner should stick it out and not go limp.
