House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday joined President Barack Obama and a chorus of other Democrats in suggesting that Rep. Anthony Weiner resign, while a member of Weiner's New York congressional delegation said she expects him to quit soon.
Boehner, who until now has let Democrats wrestle with Weiner's sexually charged messages and photos to several women, responded with a one-word answer when reporters asked whether Weiner should quit.
"Yes," he responded.
Earlier, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., told reporters, "Hopefully, we are hearing he might resign in a couple of days." She did not say how she learned that Weiner may soon buckle under the pressure.
Weiner is seeking professional help at an undisclosed location. His wife, State Department official Huma Abedin, is due back from an overseas trip early Wednesday.

” Weiner is seeking professional help at an undisclosed location. His wife, State Department official Huma Abedin”
Just what we need in the State Department........a leftist muslim.
And he should keep his trap shut.
“Resignation”????? Why not have Congress remove him? Don’t wait.
agreed....
Boner was probably crying as he made his statement.
I don’t know why you want the GOP leadership to make themselves part of this story.
The ‘Rats are disgracing themselves quite nicely without any outside help.
I think it is best to just stand clear and let them continue.
What a limp Weiner response from Boehner.
Anothe door slammed on Weiner.
This post helps conservatism how?
Congress would have to go through a process to expel Weiner, which I believe is similar to an impeachment type of proceeding. It would be long and messy, and Congress doesn’t want to go there.
And since the Ethics committee is allegedly going to look into it, that fact alone would prevent Congress from starting up expulsion proceedings.
No, I’m not going there...
Aw, heck. Boehner wanting Weiner to step down seems kinda self-destructive to me...
Better yet, a Saudi mole.
I don’t think the media has said where Weiner is, or what type of treatment he’s getting. It sounds like he’s in a rehab facility of some kind, but we don’t know what his addiction/problem is.
Are you certain that you’re not being retarded and doing the leftists’ work for them?
