That's "politics, Democrat style" for most career hacks in D.C. -- but not in Weiner's case. The reason he's hanging onto this seat so desperately is that he has nowhere else to go. He was a political science major at SUNY Plattsburgh, and never went to law school after that like most career politicians do. He's been living at the taxpayer's expense for all of his adult life, has no profession to speak of, and is a sexual deviant who has become the laughingstock of the nation.
In short, he is probably unemployable outside of politics or the porn industry.
... but I repeat myself.
