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.

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

That may, in fact, be the issue right there. Congressman Peter Tweeter would be perceived, by any sensible hiring authority, as completely valueless for any useful purpose other than collecting a federal salary for sending digital pictures of his wang to people he has never met in person. Seriously...what particular talent or skill does this clown exhibit otherwise? Absolutely none whatsoever.

Hence, his refusal to resign, borne of a complete inability to serve any useful function in the private sector economy. He has to keep this job, because he's woefully ill-equipped for anything else. He simply has no other option available, especially since he will soon bee responsible for the support and rearing of his own next generation of Peter Tweeters.

“They’ll hate him for it.”

Come the Wednesday morning after next year’s elections, they will HATE him even more.

[AppyPappy]

And he would never lie.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

THAT is funny!

[lonevoice]

YAY!!

Weiner/Edwards 2012!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

How about; “”Upstanding Member of Congress”

He just needs a little more softening up!

Has a democrat EVER resigned who wasn't in jail or prison? We could make a list of the scummiest things a human could do and dems and their butt boys in the media would give them a pass. Not so if they ever caught a Republican jay walking - now there's cause for hysteria-a-gate - or Jay-gate or we'd all have to know how much it was costing us...

But for one of their own? A pass...

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I can’t imagine why any woman would want the ill-tempered, rat-faced Wiener, or the oily rapist Clinton.

LIBERAL women do...

A liberal woman told me she agreed with Obama's speech when he said Isreal should go back to pre-1968 borders.

This particular liberal woman is married to a conservative man for many years, and I'm starting to think he can't stand her.

Supposition upon the next shoe that will drop: We’ve learned that Weiner pounced on any casual Facebook or Twitter comment from a starry-eyed young female. That tags him as a hound even beyond the Sam Malone class. So, if he does this in the cyber world, who is to say that he doesn’t do it “IRL?” Might a sexual harassment charge be lurking in the bushes?

Weiner said that he is working on making amends with his wife

As long as he's in denial WRT the sexual addiction that is still controlling him, he is not capable of making reliable amends to anyone.

” from head to toe!!!”

And from front to back (which distance can vary by a few inches from time to time).

Weiner has never worked in the private marketplace. He went straight from getting his Political Science degree at Plattsburg State University to working for Chuck Schumer, and has been on the government gravy train since then.

I'm certainly not one to denigrate a college degree, because it is an accomplishment, but the joke at my undergrad school for PoliSci majors was this.

“Why try? Go PoliSci!”

[GOPJ]

When it’s a dem, they get a pass for everything. The MSM pretends to care for a while - but truth is their boys can do anything.... dems own the press and the press returns the love...

[Bed_Zeppelin]

An apt comparison.

[Deo volente]

That cartoon says so much. Funny and very sad at the same time.

There are all kinds of ways Republicans could make his life miserable. And they should do it every single time they have to deal with him in any capacity.
If they have to sit with him in a committee.....hey Tony, any new pics on the phone?
If he is late......still busy sexting?
You’re kidding! His vote REALLY counts? Hahahahaha
Etc.
Every day, all day long.
Then I might respect them more.

Democrats. The party of sharing aroused body parts in public. Let’s call them Pornocrats. As long as they don’t call for us conservatives to share our parts, let them run on their wholesome beliefs. Diversity! All shapes and sizes of erect phalluses accepted by democrats. Dignity and modesty are for suckers.

If I was running for President, I'd have a picture of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Frank, Conyers, Rangel, Weiner et al, and my slogan would be, “Vote for me. I'm running against the President and his closest political allies.” My mantra would be, “Can we afford 4 more years of this and the economy too?”

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Didn’t Weiner tell that porn star that he’d have a stiff member work with her?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Oh! Excuuuuuse me! Meant to say “staff member,” Not “stiff member!” ;^)
