If the ongoing “Weinergate” story continues to be a media sideshow—and if the ongoing interviews with Rep. Anthony Weiner (D.-N.Y.) continue to yield more questions than answers about the lewd picture on his Twitter account—than the congressman may just be forced to step down from the New York City U.S. House seat he has held since 1998. whether Wiener runs again next year or is forced to step down, it seems a safe bet to say Republicans will make an all-out effort to win New York’s 9th District in 2012.

“And with the problems Weiner is now having, he could be toast,” Mike Long, chairman of the Conservative Party, told HUMAN EVENTS, “The Orthodox Jewish community, which is increasingly conservative but has always stood with Weiner, doesn’t tolerate this kind of behavior. He’s stonewalling the entire story and it has all gotten worse with the news that his [Twitter followers] included a large list of young girls.”

I hear Barney Frank may be after Weiner’s seat.
I’ve heard Weiner has been in Bawney Fwank’s seat.
It’s just a matter of time, he’ll crumble under the pressure and quit. Can’t wait, he’s a little sarcastic, smart mouthed, arrogant, liberal, piece of s**t who let his position go to his head.
An-tiny Weiner has got to be one of the most arrogant pricks in the democRAT party. I look forward to the day when this POS stands in front of the media and all of America and resigns. If that should never happen I can settle with knowing his perverted Twitter posting has cost him the NYC mayor’s race.
There are 8 million people in New York - and this is the best they can do???
This idiot is the ‘best and brightest’ they got??
How embarrassing!!!
Brightest? No. Most convincing snake oil salesman on election day? Absolutely.
It’s a pretty heavy union area. Lots of teachers,firemen,sanitation workers so its a pretty natural dem base. I live in his district.
If that’s the case, he could be caught in the act molesting a 10 year old and they’d re-elect him.
No Democrat ever resigns.
Yes.
Says a lot about the place.
This seat going Republican is funny since we can’t win special elections in Republican districts, no less win in Democrat ones!
And he will win reelection easily. In 2010 Weiner won with 61% of the vote; in 2008, with 93%; in 2006, unopposed; 2004, 71%; 2002 66%; etc. Weiner is in Schumer’s old seat. No way a Rep wins this seat.
Just need some candidate “hot dog” to beat a weiner.....
Weiner is in a typical NYC Democrat seat where they could run a “new guy named Adolph something or other” and the Jews and other hard core Democrats would vote for him.
Case closed Gizzi is wrong.
There’s always ‘pole’ dancing Tony!
My intial thought when reading the headline as well.
Yes, Barney said getting Weiner’s seat would be a “Ware tweet.”
