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.

I think the pix of him wearing a bra and panty-hose probably pushed him over the edge!

Whoa, I haven't seen those... are they online somewhere? ;-D

Two things to jump on!!!! Huma & Hillary as an item (It’s as plain as the nose on your face)!!! And.....Pubbies go after Weiner’s seat big time, even if we lose. And.......do not let the Republican leadership of NY have any say in the choice of candidate to run for the Weiner seat!!! And....in the race do not attack the opponent harshly, attack Obama directly and aggressively for the failure and pain he has inflicted on the USA, all around!!! get on it, today, RNC!!!

At about 5:48 Weiner starts bragging about his Twitter following and tweets while giving a speech at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner in 2011

I’m hoping that ‘Hell hath no fury like a Weiner scorned’.

I’d love to see him take his revenge by spilling all the secrets that he knows about the Demo/Commies. Let him go all kamikaze over their corrupt plans.

Maybe he can run for Congress again in 2012 from his current district, if it doesn’t get redistricted away...

He'll run for office again, prbably sooner than we think. He is a power-hungry lowlife, which also happens to describe most of the Democrat party.

The guy couldn’t resign. He has no other optional career since he is not a lawyer or ever held down a responsible job in the private sector making anywhere near what he made in Congress.

He is the definition of ‘career politician.”

As a national joke it will be difficult for the Dems to rally behind him and get him a new sinecure.

Good point. His power is gone, and soon his wife will be as well.

He held out a long time.

No premature capitulation.

C'mon, Tony, show some spine. Hundreds of your fellow moonbats still worship you and your powers of spittle-spraying sloganeering. Don't go quietly into that good rehab. Seize the moment. Make an impassioned speech on the floor of the House. Let me work for you! Let me fight for you! Please, please don't strip me!
