[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner dramatically resigned today after weeks of mounting pressure in the wake of a humiliating sexting scandal. Speaking from the same building where he launched his political career almost 20 years ago, he apologised to his wife, party and his staff for the wave of scandal and shame he has brought upon them.

His resignation comes after immense pressure from Democrats and the President to quit in order to save the party, not to mention his own family, further embarrassment.

He made the decision after having 'long discussions' with his pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, who arrived back in the U.S. from a diplomatic trip to the Middle East and Africa this week, friends said.

Weiner QUITS with grovelling apology to his wife

Jeez, Hillary, took ya long enough to decide what to do. Or did you have to clear it with the Saudis and Huma's parents first? LOL

[La Lydia]

I thought he was arrogant and self-important to the very end.

[MarkeyD]

He’s a Major League Clymer.

Let’s see how the networks bleep out the comments.

All this time we thought he was ruled by his genitals. Instead, we learn his wife has some power over him.

I can’t imagine that face-to-face encounter. WOW!

His wife got home last night and boy was she po’d.

I thought the joke went, "His wife flew in last night and BOY were her bat-wings tired."

[VeniVidiVici]

Be interesting to see who he goes to work for (paid him off).

[Psalm 144]

These people appear hetero, but the marriage also seems to be an utter sham; one of those political theater arrangements.

The speech was interrupted several times by a heckler who shouted innuendo laden slurs at the congressman.

LOL!

[USNBandit]

Boo hoo, gonna resign and pull his congressional retirement which is more money than most Americans will ever make.

[dforest]

It would have been so great had Huma had walked out and started hitting him with her purse.

I can just picture the explosion of laughter.

Well, he might think it was long, but in reality it was quite short.

In the end, the Weiner has no staying power and quits.

[freekitty]

Exactly

[SMARTY]

I think he could have salvaged a little more respect from people if he would have handled the whole thing better from the beginning and if he would have stood down right away.

If what he did is not ignoble enough, he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to that podium to deliver his calculated and unconvincing ‘apology’.

[basil]

I'm still wondering what kind of treatment is given to someone prone to thinking his wanger is special and wants to share photos of it with several women.

In fact, is there a cure for perverts in general?
