Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) will resign from his seat in Congress, heeding calls from President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and dozens of other congressional Democrats, sources confirm to POLITICO. The resignation ends nearly three weeks of tumultuous political controversy since the New York congressman sent a lewd picture of himself over Twitter which he claimed at first was a result of a hack, and later admitted he had sent himself.
According to two sources, Weiner made up his mind to resign Wednesday night, and shortly after began making calls to inform them of his decision. Weiner called DCCC chair Steve Israel — who had also called for his resignation — on Wednesday night at the White House picnic to inform him and Pelosi that he had decided to resign on Thursday.

Dammit.
Watch the Democrats explain this one! (Culture of corruption)
I expected him to stick it out.
I agree, this one was dragging all the Democrats into the slimy sewer from which they came.
*singing* “Ding-dong the pervert’s dead”....
Well, not quite...but any career he’ll ever want, other that porn store clerk, is toast.
The bigger they are, the harder...never mind....
This will free him up to pursue his digital photography interests.
It was kind of nice having him around and making everyone else squirm.
Seeing him up for re-election would have been classic.
Darn! Now we must find a new stooge.....only 5 or 6 hundred to choose from ;-)
Leno, Conan, and Letterman are going to be PI$$ED
See what happens when the wife comes home!
I wonder if she will be on stage with him.
Sweet. The Weiner resigns at the picnic. ROTFL!
Look for his show on MSNBC in the near future. CNN would hire him, but they already have their resident sex addict, Eliot Spitzer.
Time for New Yorkers to kiss their Wiener goodbye.
” I expected him to stick it out.”
Or whip it out......
It will be interesting to see what the MSM does with this in the coming weeks.
The idiotic public will forget about it in less than 3 days.
America may need to keep an eye on Weiner, he and his democRAT cohorts may be hiding Ayman al-Zawahiri in their trousers.
