Anthony Weiner Should Resign Now
Washington Times ^ | June 6, 2011 | Emily Miller

Posted on 06/06/2011 6:50:35 PM PDT by Qbert

Rep. Anthony Weiner lost the support of the leader of his party when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced on Monday that, "I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred." 

[Snip]

The wily eight-term congressman refused to resign his office, claiming that he did not break any rules or laws because he he didn't use any government resources for his sexual predator actions. “I don't believe that I used any government resources,” he said. Mr. Weiner also claimed, “my Blackberry is not a government Blackberry. My home computer is usually where I did these things.”

[Snip]

Although Mr. Weiner claims to have not used any taxpayer funded resources for his sexual peccadilloes, he has lied long enough that the Ethics Committee will need to investigate his office computer, phone records and Blackberry.  The committee rules are based on the Code of Official Conduct for the House. The first rule is that a member, “shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” Mr. Weiner sending sexual photos of himself and highly charged sexting message to strangers clearly violates this rule.

The Office of Congressional Ethics – which was begun under then-Speaker Pelosi to allow for outside groups to file complaints about Members of Congress – would not respond if it was investigating Mr. Weiner.

Perhaps if Mr. Weiner had admitted immediately to sending the Tweet, the onetime New York mayoral candidate might have come out of this, but the lying and deceit make a clean getaway impossible now.  Since the Twitter photo was uncovered by Andrew Brietbart a little over a week ago, Mr. Weiner has held repeated press conferences to openly lie to cover up...

“claiming that he did not break any rules or laws because he he didn’t use any government resources for his sexual predator
....this is probably next weeks news, when they find out there were minors involved....”

Yep. That’s probably what Pelosi is really freaking out about now.

Won’t surprise me if Weiner doesn’t resign but instead sends himself off to some beachside retreat for therapy for “sexting addiction” and then comes back and pronounces himself “cured.”

In his next election, he will bravely speak out as a champion on behalf of all people struggling with sexting addiction.

LOL

You're probably right.

LOL. It's a lot like calling a Chesapeake Retriever. It'll only come when it wants or if you can hit it with a 2x4.

Okay, enough already.  I have top level secret connections and it's time someone put the stupid photos on the net.

Sorry, I've only provided links, because these are just too over the top for the open forum.

Here we have the full frontal shot everyone has been talking about.

He's hot hot hot...  LINK

Here's another full frontal shot.  My he looks festive in these.  You can tell he's about to go out on the town with the girls.

Ready to party hardy... LINK

Seemingly sporting a wig in this shot, the Congressman proves he looks as manly from the back, as he does from the front.

Hot tomalies tonight...  LINK

This last shot proves the Congressman did have somewhat of a good heart.  He sent a frontal shot of his upper torso and face because he didn't want to mislead the girls.

The guy with a conscience is finally revealed...  LINK

Nice work Congressman.

Ed Schultz of MSNBC has just called on him to resign. It will re-air in 3 hours.

I’m surprised. He’s being fairly tough on the weiner.

Dude, you’re absolutely right. Apply for a job as his agent immediately! Because after his therapy the boy’ll get a $5 mill book advance, and an appearance of the Couric Show promoting it (which show is to replace Okrah’s, as the well informed know.) Eat your heart out Keith Richards (now in paperback)!

"Rep. Anthony Weiner lost the support of the leader of his party"

Really?! I think she just gave every Democrat the excuse to decline comment on an ongoing ethics investigation, and thereby provided the press pukes an excuse to stop asking questions and writing stories.

If we followed this suggestion that “This member of Congress and this member’s member should no longer be members of Congress”, then we would have a much smaller Congress because it is full leftist pricks and aholes.

People were wondering if Weiner was going to show up for his press conference and after a while, a notice went out that one of “Congress’ members was missing”. Posters went up on telephone poles asking whether anyone had seen a “little prick named Weiner.”

Clara Peller shouted “Where’s the beef?”

Daschunds said: “He’s not here”.

The NYPD put out an APB (All points bulletin) asking citizens to “Be on the lookout for a little missing prick named Anthony Weiner, about 5 inches tall, skinny, with a lot of hair on his head”.

Barney Frank said “I’ll join the hunt for any prick, esp. this one.”

I wonder if Weiner’s staff will rally round this disgraced member after his limp performance at the press conference?

Stay tuned for more fun and games re Little Antny’s weiner.

Totally agree

Keep this dumbass front and center with Debbie Wassserman Schultz, Steve Israel along with Chuck the Schmuck. A bunch of NY Putzes who think they are better than you and will remind you of it every day. Since they think they are better than you only they know what is right policies for the country.

“Ed Schultz of MSNBC has just called on him to resign”

I never thought I’d see those words...

(OTOH, maybe Schultz just wants Weiner to resign so he can jump to MSNBC and try to pull their ratings out of the dumpster.)

I bet the White House could intervene if Democrats think Obama could get a Bump on Weiner?

I think most Democrats will now rub Weiner the wrong way!

Well, he used his TITLE...that’s a gov’t resource, IMO. It’s not as if he tweeted as “Tony Wiener, not the congressman”.

As for Nancy’s tough talk...pure duck and cover. Now the dems can refuse to comment on it because “it’s under investigation”.

I heard he is a goalie. Would I have run him over in a game and suffer the consequences of my actions? Since he probably plays for a Wash Dc Elitist team I think I
could hold my own
