The trouble for Tony is that he's well overpaid for his level of competence. He knows once he leaves, he isn't worthy of picking lettuce.
“Like most lib legislators, Wiener has no marketable skills.”
They are called “consultants” or “lobbyists”. DC is full of them.
In fact, I heard a report that Weiner is refusing to resign because he’s not wealthy. Almost his entire income is his congressional pay. Huma also makes six figures, however, with their bills and living costs for those in their crowd, their money doesn’t go too far. It’s doubtful Weiner can go on the lecture circuit or write a book and make money that way. He is not well liked by other politicos, so his chances of getting some other job in politics are very small.
Once his congressional term ends, he’s cut off from a six figure income. I wonder if Huma will cut him off too, if you get my drift.

George Soros has whole companies full of unmarketable liberals, I’m sure he’s got an office all ready for the lil’ Wiener...
I would not be shocked if he got a job with MSNBC after leaving Congress. But picking lettuce is honest work of much greater usefulness to mankind.
I believe that Wiener is waiting for a payoff from the DNC.
He's shaking them down.
Wiener will stay in House and keep embarrassing the Democrats until they come up with enough money to pay him to vacate his House seat. Then he'll leave, giving the standard excuses for stepping down. This is the standard operating procedure for Dems.
