As a cache of embarrassing new photos appeared Sunday, Rep. Anthony Weiner finally began considering the possibility that he may have to resign.

A source close to the congressman told the Daily News that Weiner had been adamant about keeping his seat - even as the Democratic leadership urged him to quit amid daily new revelations of reckless sexting.

But the unrelenting media coverage, the demands he step down from his party's leadership, and the appearance of more humiliating photos made Weiner realize he may not be able to bull through the crisis after all, the source said.

Well, he is a “D” and “D”s normally get a free pass “get out of jail” card from the media and RAT House Leadership. Only “R”s are normally thrown out on their a - - after even minor offenses. So, we will see whether or not the media and the RATS come down on this guy hard enough so as for him to be unable to stand the heat.

“No doubt he’ll be back as a political pundit.”

Yeah, Eliot Spitzer’s looking for a new partner, it can be the Weiner-Spitzer show, and CNN can ignore both scandals when they do their next special on political sex scandals...

Can’t say I’ll be sorry to see this asshole go.

After that, Waxman. Then Maxine Waters.


Ye Gads, forgot about Maxine...I wonder who would be the winner of the “MOST OBNOXIOUS” from this group of donkeys.

From some of the articles I read yesterday, it sounds as though New Yawk City wants him to be their mayor.

Pretty much every article mentions the handful of Weiner groupies who have been following around the press as the press follows him, shouting out their support.

That doesn't mean that he will win the Democratic nomination for mayor.

Forest Hills isn't Sunset Park.

Why is he thinking he would HAVE to resign? Bill Clinton NEVER rsigned. Ted Kennedy NEVER resigned.

Please explain this to me.
