Seared by scandal, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner announced his resignation from Congress on Thursday, done in by lewd photos he took of himself, sent to women online and then adamantly lied about after being caught.
"I'm here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused," he said reading from a brief statement in Brooklyn.
"I make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife, Huma."
Weiner's wife was absent as he announced his decision, as she was 10 days ago when he admitted having sent inappropriate messages and photos to several women online.
This was predictable...The D.C. mob bosses and assorted insiders called the shots here. He made them look worse, if that’s even possible.
Well, that’s it. Once standing tall, Weiner has shriveled up;)
He hasn’t submitted a letter of resignation to the Speaker; so it’s just an attempt at public contrition.
Took some guts to make a personal appearance - he must have had some professional PR advice - so that he can make a comeback with the wife & child.
LOL, wonder if BOR will have him on once a week now...?
Mistakes? Mistakes? A mistake is once or twice not a flood.

I have to LOL. Weiner once stood tall, now he is shriveled up. You could interpret such a statement in various ways.
Well, this may be the final chapter of the scandal. We’ve come a long way from the days of being lectured by Weiner about ignoring the guy who throws a pie at a speech.
Look for the announcement of Huma's divorce and engagement to she whose name cannot be mentioned. )(arc.)
Although Anthony Weiner will be replaced with another left-wing Democrat, at least the DNC lost their yapping little Chihuahua attack dog. Good riddance.
"Mr. Weiner, do you plan on raising your kid in the Islamic faith of your wife Hummer." ["Huma" pronounced in a heavy NY accent]?
"Mr. Weiner, does Hummer give your package its "due respect"?
How could he make a public appearance, if he’s supposed to be at a rehab facility of some type? Did he quit rehab already?
Cnn and FoxNews are probably in a bidding war right now to give him his own show.
Sad part is, people would watch him......
It was a miracle!
Bill Clinton healed him...just like BC performed his marriage ceremony....HAHAHA!!!
Did you press the "post" button more than once by mistake?
THAT’S funny!!
I wouldn’t doubt some DNC thug reminded Weener that there is a lot of ocean out there.
Hum a Wiener can't let this set back ruin her social climbing.
Or to "It's Complicated."
