Weiner to resign after sexting scandal, source says - CNN.com

Washington (CNN) -- Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York plans to resign from Congress in the wake of a "sexting" scandal with several women and lies he repeatedly told about it, a Democratic source with knowledge of the congressman's plans said Thursday.

Weiner, 46, was considered a possible front-runner to succeed New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2013 until the revelation of his online communications, including lewd photos of himself he sent to women he befriended on Facebook and Twitter.


The Weiner is cooked.

What will be his next career? DNC chair?
 
It's looks like...

LOL

Power is intoxicating to a lot of women. They'd screw a shoehorn if it would buy them a house.

I never understood the gay thing. If you're a man, and you like men, why do you go for men who act like women?
 
Good, I was sick of his cocky sarcastic puss on the news
 
This closes the zipper on another Weiner saga, and leaves Weiner grievously injured, career wise. I had to slip this in before the whole thing goes limp. The story that is.

Unfortunately it also means an end to the subject of a lot of plays on words commonly known as Weiner jokes and for that reason alone the use of Weiner is a sad thing, but has left a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths.

I'm not one of them.

He was a useful force in office, too bad he ended up being such a dick.
 
So Vitter is next? oh snap...

Agreed. Sad that he did something so stupid and foolish as he was an effective congressman. Resigning is the right this to do, IMO.

It is, but its a loss :(

Wait...did I miss where Vitter lied about it and accused others of a crime? Did I miss where Vitter encouraged others to lie? Did I miss where Vitter was sexting with minors? Cuz...if he did those things...hell yes...he should have resigned. its the only reason for Weiner to resign...not because he was sending pictures of his junk to another consenting adult...thats just idiotic behavior. But the encouragement of criminal activity and slander? And solicitation of minors? Yeah...thems resignation offenses.
 
Why Anthony Weiner should resign

I would love to see this. What would it say if he won?

He would definitely have a chance. Vitter ****ed prostitutes and liked to wear diapers during sex apparently and was still re-elected, not to mention Rangel was reelected after his myriad of ethics violations.

Apparently. He denied using prostitutes and such as early as 2002 when allegations of this were made public during his failed run for governor in which he later dropped out of the race. He denied those charges which turned out to be completely true. He didn't admit to his frequent use of prostitutes in both new orleans and D.C. until 2007.

Mind you, I'm not saying he's evil for doing so, just pointing out that he did in fact lie.

Also, you pointed out that Wiener "encouraged criminal activity", what do you think hiring prostitutes is? That means he was actively involved in criminal activity.

I don't know anything regarding the solicitation of minors thing, I haven't really researched the details of Wieners case after the initial underwear shot, but regardless, you're essentially saying that these are two different cases because one is a JonaGold apple and one is a Braeburn Apple. They're still both apples. Dirty, filthy apples.

There is a difference between saying uh-uh...I didnt do it and saying someone hacked my federal computer and we know who it was. Good point though about paying for prostitutes. OK...you want to call it apples to apples...fine...but for the record, I didnt fault Clinton for denying the affairs...just for lying about it under oath.

Anthony Wiener did not commit a crime... Vitter did... unless prostitution is legal in DC now...

You forgot Ensign.

I agree with you. Wiener lied about the hacking and that is worse than someone just denying it. But in the end there both guys that wanted to look at/touch/ sleep with women that aren't their wives without getting in trouble for it. Just because one of them had to make up a story in order to lie about it doesn't mean , to me, that he is any worse at decision making than the other guy.

That remains to be seen. Accusing an individual of hacking a federal computer and vowing to have your private investigator expose the cuplrit certainly smacks of at least a civil crime. Sexting a minor is certainly a crime. Still...Ive ceded the point re prostitution.

I dont care that Weiner is a disgusting little pervert that gets off on posting his weiner around the globe. I said from day one if it is just about him cybercheating on his wife then who gives a ****...its between him and her. But when it comes to lying about it, encouraging others to lie about it, accusing others when you know damn good and well you are the guilty little pervert, and now the prospect of lewd and indecent contact with a minor...yep...thats the ticket.

Simple fact is that if it was just consensual contact it is irrelevant to me. I long ago gave up the notion that politicians can, should, or would be bastions of morality (and when you consider the hisptorical perspectives of politicians its amazing we ever dared to expect as much). I didnt care that Clinton was diddling Lewinsky...or Flowers...or any of the others in the little black book. I did care about the allegations of sexual harrassment and the instances of sexual assault. I cared about lying under oath. But if he wants to smoke cigars soaked in Monica juice...well...nasty...but...not my business.

Weiner said just a couple of days ago that he was going to stick it out. LOL.

OK, so Weiner is finally doing the right thing. He is still a scumbag, who would have stayed, if not for the intense pressure put on him by both Democrats and Republicans.

So when is Diaper David Vitter going to resign, or is that different? :mrgreen:
 
He doesnt have to do anything does he? Isnt he set for life with his pension or whatever its called coming from being in Congress? His marriage is a sham. Its known in secret social circles his wife and bills wife have been lovers since the ugly one was 19.

Ensign lied many times, as did Vitter.. your "outrage" is so freaking partisan and hypocritical. Vitter is STILL in Congress, and he was fully backed by his GOP buddies, many of who used the same house in DC where Vitter had his "encounters". Ensign seems to have used campaign funding and political influence to help his mistress. Romney also seems to be up in his neck on issues of voter fraud, unless you seriously believe that Romney lives in his sons basement while having 2 x 10+ million houses in California and NH.

Why is it the right complains and bitches about the democratic scum but never of their own... in fact they more than often defend their own scum.. remember the paedophile US congressman from Florida that for years if not over a decade was known to hunt young congressional pages? What did the GOP leadership do.. stand by the idiot at the start at least. Or Bob Ney, a convicted criminal, who sat in his seat to the day he was thrown in jail... Or Cunningham and the repercussions of that conviction. When the GOP starts to denounce and kick their own crap out the door then maybe we can take the whining and partisan bitching remotely serious.
 
Good. It is about time.
