Lusty lawmaker Anthony Weiner checked into a treatment center for his randy behavior Saturday - but it may not be enough to save his job.

Weiner will be seeking help in the wake of the sexting scandal that put his career on life support, just as several of the country's most powerful Democrats simultaneously called on him to quit.

"Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person," said a statement released by his office.

"In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well."

Political sources said Weiner started at-home therapy last week and made the decision to check into a treatment facility for a full evaluation of his sexual urges and compulsive behavior.

It was not immediately clear where Weiner went or what sort of help he'll be receiving.

Does his basement really count? The little pervert could be down there taking more pictures.

I think all the Dem leadership did was a bit of CYA. They can’t force him out and he won’t go on his own so it’s easy to make a statement like that.

I am glad to hear they can now cure stupidity. It used to be considered a permanent condition.

I really hope he can hang on thru Nov ‘12. Maybe we can watch the John Edwards trial in the fall of ‘12.

Ole Nancy just never got a handle on that swamp thingy.

Well, if Wiener problems last for more than 4 hours, you need to seek medical treatment. His 15 minutes of infamy are well overdue.

In addition to seeking a urologist, he also needs to seek advice from a proctologist, since he has been acting like one of the biggest A-holes in the beltway - he may be the biggest among them, and we have identified so many.

But, maybe his District like a priapismatic A-hole representing them.

Weiner started at-home therapy

Virtual therapy for a dude into virtual sex.

Does he have a "blow-up" therapist he is using there at home?

I have a question: If he resigns, does he still get that nice fat congressional pension and benefits paid by our tax dollars?

Weiner is lucky. There have been some dramatic developments in aversion therapy that make it possible to cure jerks, fools and even foolish jerks. They'll just have to hook Weiner up to some electrodes and give him a hefty jolt every time he acts stupid or obnoxious. He has a good chance of making a full recovery so that he can lead a normal life, unless, of course, the therapy kills him which might not be the worst possible outcome. Would anyone miss him?

Samuel Jackson once famously said: “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”.

Today it could be said that the first refuge of liberal crooks and perverts is the calim of victimhood and a rush to seek “professional help to cure their imaginary infliction.

Liberals caught with their hand in the cookie jar or their organs hanging in the breeze aren’t really crooks or perverts - the devil made them do it.

Or was it a naughty Mommy, some strange virus or rampant new bacteria?

But with some “professional help”, a huge capacity for public ridicule, and the support of a liberal press they will be cured, repaired and good as new in no time at all.
