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.

Somehow I don't think a feel good “treatment” program will do much good for someone with no sense of decency or morals. I am reminded of a South Park episode that lampooned celebrity sex addicts and their so called treatment programs.
