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.

Can someone with an addiction to treat be terminated from his job in NY?

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

This is nothing but a dodge.

He’s just trying to get the press off his ass so the Dem leadership will stop pressuring him to resign. He’s trying to hide.

Therapy will have no effect on someone this narcissistic. He doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him.

The only lesson he will learn from this debacle is more discretion next time.

Weiner is waiting on Huma to get back before he makes a definite decision on what to do.
Interesting that there has been no report of support from her or any kind of statement. Hillary must be advising her.
My guess is that Weiner is going to throw himself at her for mercy and for her to talk to Bill Clinton about a nice mid 6 figure job at one of his foundations to ease his way out. He needs that kind of job to pay his debts and take care of Huma and the baby coming.
It's all so sordid.

Maybe he can call Michael Douglas and get in that Sex Clinic he went to.
It’s all such a sham. There is no real help for a guy 46 years old who still thinks he is in High School, check out his Twitter photo as evidence.

bet he’s just hanging out with Bill Clinton for some pointers on how to get away with it all.

“Can someone with an addiction to treat be terminated from his job in NY?”
Not if they are a Democrat.
Wiener has found the perfect way out of his predicament. Instead of being found guilty of violation of “Congressional Ethics” and having to face even a farcical “investigation” by his fellow reprobates, he now has “a medical problem” and must be treated with kindness and sympathy.
Anyone that would vote for this scumbag has the intellect of a dung beetle.

Weiner is just confirming once and for all, he is a true “congressional member” representative of all democrats.

Or he can shop a reality series to Bravo. “Weiner World”

Anyone who really believes that The Weiner “checked into rehab” is an idiot. This story is for public consumption in their effort to take some of the heat off of The Weiner and get him some public sympathy. You can’t fix stupid.

Obviously the “Center for Hyper Arrogant, New York Jew Perverts”, recently opened in Manhattan I suspect.
