Weiner Tells Friends He Will Resign
NY Times ^ | 6/16/11 | NY Times

Posted on 06/16/2011 6:55:37 AM PDT by illiac

WASHINGTON — Representative Anthony D. Weiner has told friends that he plans to resign his seat after coming under growing pressure from his Democratic colleagues to leave the House in the wake of revelations of his lewd online exchanges with women, said a person told of Mr. Weiner’s plans.

The news comes as Democratic leaders prepared to hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss whether to strip the 46-year-old Congressman of his committee assignments, a blow which would severely damage his effectiveness.

He had to wait until one of the sweating Dems bought him off with a lucrative position somewhere.

Weiner Pulls Out!

Stands tall and keeps his head up after climactic morning.

“If any of us commoners had done something like Weiner did, using our employer’s facility for some of the stupidity, we’d have been fired. Congress needs to begin “firing” these losers.”

I agree that this is cause for termination of employment. However, his employer isn’t the Congress. It’s the voters of his disctrict, and it’s up to them to fire him. Unfortunately, we have a poorly run government because the bosses don’t know how to run the business.

I agree. If you go over to YouTube and watch just about any video of Weiner you will see a very effective piece of leftist nutcase crap at work. Not only was the guy sick in the head sexually he was a pervert when it came to his “job”. The fellow was an arrogant, mean, nasty, lying piece of feces. He was smarmy, condescending, self-righteous and above all an absolute lier. He was a rabid attack poodle for the Democrats who was on his way to being mayor of New York.

Call it Karma or whatever you like the hammer of G-d fell upon his head. What happened to him gives the old adage “how the mighty have fallen” a whole new slant. He was going 100 miles and hour and ran in to a brick wall. And all on his own. What a treat! What a tasty morsel! Personally, I am savoring this. After the amazing event in the last Congressional cycle where there was a sea change this is the icing on the cake. The cherry on the top of the sundae. I feel like Eric Cartman licking the salty tears off the face of Scott Tenorman. Like the coldest of beer on a hot day. Like a perfectly done lobster thermidor. This is sweet! I get the same feeling seeing Weiner crash and burn as I do throwing my 911 in to a curve or going 95 mph+ in my Fountain. What a thrill it is to see a punk little asswipe like Weiner be forced to commit a type of dishonorable Seppuku right in front of me. It is wonderful.

Weiner has not only brought me such joy with his self-inflicted “hold mah beer” moment he has also turned some light on his devoid wife and her equally devoid boss. Yea Hillary, I know how you treated people in the White House and I know how you treat people today. This is brushing close to you. I hope some of the mud flings off on you and your little flying monkey who is married to this wack(off) job. When will you fire your “body person”? The “beautiful” and “brilliant” muzzie you hold so dear? Have you done so already? Or can you? She and Anthony know about you, don’t they. What a joy it would be to see them turn on your wretched ass.

I say give him no quarter. Shed for him no tears. Do not feel sorry for him. He is not worth our spit upon him. He is the enemy and what he has done to himself is an epic failure. Ye haw!!!!

“If it wasn’t an election year he would not resign.”

Well, 2011 is not an election year. The House of Reprehensibles all stand for election every two years. The last election was last year; the next election is next year. Would you like to clarify your comment?

“It turns out that one of the women Congressman Anthony Weiner was communicating with was a porn star. When asked how it was possible to get involved with someone in such a sleazy business, the porn star said, ‘I don’t know.’” —Conan O’Brien

“Congressman Weiner is in a lot of trouble since he tweeted those pictures. But good news for him, he just found out he’ll be allowed to keep his porn name ... Anthony Weiner.” —Conan O’Brien

“Anthony Weiner admitted to sending inappropriate messages to several women via Twitter, text, email, and Facebook. I think the lesson here is that if you’re going to send explicit pictures of yourself, send them through MySpace, where no one will notice.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“51 percent of New York voters think Congressman Weiner should keep his seat in office. The other 49 percent think that he should disinfect it.” —Conan O’Brien

“What?! The congressman had a sex scandal and had to apologize to Bill Clinton? For what?! Copyright infringement?” —Jon Stewart

“I don’t know if laws were broken or not, but Weiner was sending around pictures of him in his underpants and I thought, Well, now, wait a minute, what is the big deal? Don’t men and women in Congress get to mail their packages for free?!” —David Letterman

Anthony Weiner Jokes “This is why Twitter exists. Members of Congress can now send you pictures of their penises electronically. Remember the old days of Senator Larry Craig when you had to get in your car, drive to the airport, find the airport bathroom, try to figure out which stall he’s in, knock on the door...Now they send it right to your house.” —Jay Leno

“Democrats don’t share our values. An elected official is tweeting dirty photos of himself to strange women who he never meets for sex? Come on! At least Republican Chris Lee was trying to get some action! Republican politicians are man enough to hit that thing. Ensign, Vitter, even when it’s a gay scandal! They’re not tweeting love letters. They’re tearing up an airport bathroom until somebody calls the cops on them!” —Stephen Colbert

Anthony Weiner Cartoons The Weinergate jokes are flying fast and furious on Twitter. Here are the best of the bunch:

“BREAKING NEWS: Rep. Weiner has apologized to Paul Revere.” —Steve Martin

“Tattoo it on your chest, MEMENTO-style, Weiner: ‘The Internet is forever.”” —Patton Oswalt

“A historic day for trivial Twitter fame. Charlie Sheen has called Anthony Weiner to offer his concession.” —Arianna Huffington

“Weiner-gate is teaching me a few things..if a pic posted of my weener on web looks big: i posted it, if its small, my account was hacked.” —David Spade

“Just my luck! On the same day I find out it’s bad to tweet dirty pictures, FedEx shows up w/ all that penis make-up I ordered!” —Andy Richter

“BREAKING: Rep. Anthony Weiner admits the Twitter pics are his. He also said, ‘When I took the pics it was really really cold.” —Justin Stangel

“Tough to know what Weiner was really thinking during his press conference because he was standing behind a podium.” —Andy Borowitz

“Well, our long, national nut-mare is over.” —Steven Weber

“Now that we have certitude of what Weiner’s wang looks like, let’s use it to raise the debt ceiling!” —Jason Linkins

“STEVE MARTIN IS REALLY OILED AND BUFF. OMG, my Twitter account was just hacked.” —Steve Martin

“I guess this is what happens when Bill Clinton presides at your wedding.” —Sara Benincasa

“Remember when the only people who saw a politician’s penis were hookers and interns?” —Jason Mustian

“Maybe Weiner and his wife have an open genital-tweeting marriage.” —Mileskahn

“Americans will remember where they were, what they were doing, and what color underwear they were wearing when today’s news broke.” —Arianna Huffington

“Somewhere James Carville is thankful that Bill Clinton didnt have a cellphone with a camera back in the 90s.” —PatGarofalo

“Too bad Boehner won’t stand up for Weiner.” —JasonIsbell

“Which would make a better theme song for weiner: You Can’t Touch This or Pants on the Ground?” —elraei

“Schwartzenegger, Weiner, DSK and John Edwards walk in a bar. There were no survivors.” —iowahawkblog

“I hope that instead of retiring Weiner just reads a list of jokes. ‘This is hard.’ ‘Yes: I am pulling out.’ ‘We faced stiff challenges.’” —bengreenman

Very true. The guy was in the upper echelons of the Obama regime, and moving up. He wrote the health care bill. Having such power removed suddenly is very traumatic. His regeret must be huge.

That said, a great country cannot survive corrupt, perverted leaders. Hopefully more will fall.
