>>He’s gone. And he’ll probably be arrested for tweeting the DE girl too.<<
I want wiener to fight to hold on to his spot as long and hard as possible (pun only partially intended).
So long as he is around, the nation can see what the democratic party “stands” for.
Fight, wiener, fIght!
Yep, wonder why Nancy and Wasserman Schulz are now calling him to resign? Are there more bombshells to drop in this case? Maybe the idea that he’s contacting underage girls forced their hand?
Weiner is politically radioactive, and Weiner’s a good Democrat. Get more popcorn as we wait to see what happens next.
The media can’t focus on Palin’s emails while Weiner is running amok.
The under age girl was the last straw, he can’t get past that one. If it were just all adults, he might have bluffed it out like sick willie did.
He will cut a deal on this one, they always get away with it, they are better than us serfs.
We can’t even get rid of the tax cheats like Rangel. demwits have no shame factor.
It would be great if he stayed. A highly pub(l)ic stain on the Demon Party.
I do too. Maybe we can form some sort of a support group. ; )
“Weiner slapped by Pelosi”
There was a story here yesterday about his co-op apartment in New York City that was listed for sale for a while, then suddenly got pulled off the market just a couple of days ago. I’m not sure what it means, but I’m certain it has something to do with whatever his “future plans” might be.
The 17 year old girl
Why should Weiner resign? Clinton lied under oath about having sex in the Oval Office and got away with it.
Why should Weiner be held at a higher standard than the leader of his party?
Another probable Post headline: Pelosi: “Suck it, Weiner”
I don't think that's permitted anymore. I believe 1990 or 1992 was the last year members of Congress were allowed to do that, which is one reason why there was a large turnover in House seats in the early 1990s. A lot of long-time Congressmen took the money and ran when they had the opportunity.
We are going to have Sexual Harassment training at work next month. Perhaps the Weiner could get a job as a poster boy for these bi-annual corporate get togethers.
She kept her word to be loyal to Anthony Weiner, right to the end.
And she has, this is the end.
If Weiner withdraws prematurely...... (pregnant pause)..... then he has no balls.
He shouldn’t resign yet. We need video of an audience of his supporters chanting “Weiner! Weiner! Weiner!...”
In the best political tradition: drop the bad news on the weekend, when fewer people are paying attention.
Normally a story like this on a Saturday would mean they wanted to bury it but I think the underage girl development meant that Pelosi couldn’t wait any longer.
