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 softens.
He petered out.
A post tumescent Weiner apologizes, lamely.
Politicus Interuptus!
No woman should be so disrespected. And, as for the women Weiner tweeted and sent his lewd pics to...he disrespected them, also. He certainly did not contact them to exchange comments about politics, or anything of any intellectual significance. He tried to entice them into responding in a sexual manner with his references to his "package," and hoping their responses would satisfy his base needs. Thus, he used them as merely sex objects to satisfy his perverted and excessive desires. That is the real crux of the issue. Weiner's use of women in such a manner is a slap at all of womenkind who have fought, for the past 40 years, to have men treat women in a way that elevates them to be considered for their minds, not their bodies.
If Huma is smart, she will get out before he hurts her again. And, as a narcissist, whose whole life has been based on gaining adoration, Weiner...even with therapy...will always be a man who cannot be trusted from trying to find some form of sexual stimulation outside the marriage. Psychologists and therapists are united on this...there is no cure for a narcissist who is dependent on being a sexual preditor in some manner.
“There must be exploding heads in the left”.
I read some posts at DU. Even they condemn Weiner. And my language here is certainly not what they are using there to describe how they feel.
Geeeesh, Hitlery doesn’t look good AT ALL!
As a Muslim, Huma is probably glad Weiner is a Jew. Were he a Muslim too, he might have blamed her for his perversion and had her killed!!!
Not difficult to pick out the butch in that photo......
The little perv still has not sent his resignation letter to Speaker Boehner. Instead he has run off out of town for a few weeks. I hope he doesn’t think he can slink back in and still keep his job. It would not suprise me though.
Your post is the conversation the media should be having.
Weiner, and his apologists, disrespect women. First, they excuse his bad behavior and then, some even shift blame to the women.
Huma: "You sure as hell are!"
and where are my pantyhose, you little pervert???
Weiner - not too big too fail
Anthony may have the weiner, but it’s Huma that’s got the balls.
The fact that not only are some accepting his behavior (let alone the lies) without even a blink, but supporting Weiner, shows they aren't seeing beyond what has been the sensational aspects. Whether it is the sensational aspect of his illicit behavior, or the sensational reaction from a disapproving public...no one seems to realize how he has shown that his beliefs about women are back in the era of "keep them dumb, pregnant, and barefoot," or back further to the days of the cave man.
Sometimes I think that is why he chose Huma as his wife. Although she seems to be worldly and to have become "Westernized" and does not observe her Muslim traditions when it comes to dress (no burkas, etc.), choice of a non-Muslim husband (let alone one of Jewish culture), she probably still accepts a subservient position as trained to do and common in the Islamic practices. Obviously Weiner figured he needed someone who was raised to be a subservient, adoring type wife so Huma would certainly be one who could fill that need of his. It is a pattern with narcissistic men to marry a woman who they feel will not be a challenge to their position, and who they can keep separate in their minds from the women with whom they dally.
To narcissistic men who are sexually perverted, the wife is the woman they consider "pure" and is merely for show...to prove they are upstanding, righteous, moral men so no one would ever even begin to think that underneath the facade of a decent man and good marriage partner, is a lurking sexual predator who considers himself free to satisfy his illicit desires as if they have no impact on his wife or marriage. Huma is Weiner's "cover" and I really feel sorry for her.
Mmmm... Horsemeat!
That medal Hillary is wearing is the "Hero of Bosnia Legion of Exceptional Bravery" awarded to her
by a grateful nation for her selfless action on the front lines during the 1996 Bosnian airport sniper attack.
In fact, there is a “cure”. Become a registered DIMocRAT.
