WASHINGTON – Amid increasing calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the decision should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents. The former speaker said in San Francisco that she believes the decision should be made by "the individual member" and the people in his district.

Sadly, this doesn’t actually appear to have any effect on the Democrat Party, much less sink it.

I knew when this whole thing started that some Dems would make ritual noises of shock and horror...and then go on to stand by their man. When you look at the track record of the Dem Party, I don’t think you’re going to see a single corrupt Dem pol who has had to pay any price for it in terms of his party. (Think of people like Frank and Rangel.)

It doesn’t have any impact on Dem voters, either.

Sadly & regretfully, you are right. However, IMHO knowing what a “dirt bag”, this guy Weiner is, there is tons more to come out on this pervert and his wife. I read a piece the other day about the Clintons taking Huma under their protective wings as if she was a daughter. Some daughter, thirty-five years old, supposed to be gifted and intelligent and....she marries a pervert like Weiner. Come on, don’t pour water down my back and tell me it is raining. These people are the dregs of society and so is the Democrat Party!!! Having said a mouthful, I still want Weiner to remain in office and be shown as the picture of the Democrat Party!!! It will be the gift that keeps giving!!!

I agree, it’s very likely that a lot more is going to come out...er...emerge...er...be revealed...oh forget it! You know what I mean!

I still want to know how the guy got any state business done. Sexting seems to have been a full-time occupation for him.

This is a surprise. I didn’t think Pewlosi liked Wiener.

I think many of us have seen the "individual member's" decision.

This the same Pelosi who talked about a repub “culture of corruption” just a couple of years ago?

Maybe we should start talking about the "culture of perversion" that is rampant in Washington.

She may not “like” him, but no matter, she sure defends him!

Well this will help in the elections come next year, when Weiner can become the new “Willie Horton” in any future political ads.

Dumping Weener/Whiner in 2011 would help them in 2012, but hurt them now.

“His district faces redistricting”

Yes, I’ve read that it _could_ be eliminated.

That may be the only way to get rid of him.

Then again, if they eliminate his current district, watch for him to try to muscle in and run in ANOTHER district!

I always thought she avoided Wiener. I assumed she picked that trait up from Hillary.

She can be very unpredictable. This is why I also call her the “the wicked witch of the west!”
