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.

From some of the articles I read yesterday, it sounds as though New Yawk City wants him to be their mayor. He needs to resign and take them up on their offer.

Does he have any marketable skills, or has he been lining up a lobbying job? I guess Huma will be wearing the pants in this family since he rarely has any on, IF she sticks around.

I think it’s time.

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

But the man went a bit nuts and he needs to regroup.

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

After that, Waxman. Then Maxine Waters.

Wife is home and he just found out he's out on the street.

He's creepy...He's a pervert.

Bet some folks are doing some digging. And then there are Hillary's FBI files.

I’m glad he is finally getting a clue that staying in office is not an option. If I was Huma I would get a 6 month visa extension to stay in Africa and go on Safari. Eee Gads who wants to come home to this nightmare.

He is ill. And his outbursts of denial and not resigning is a symptom of the disease. He needs immediate psychiatric help.

For the good of the country and the American people, it is only fitting that Weiner resign.

Yes, I pity the fool. Even so, Weiner is such a putz.

He’s known it all along, he’s just stalling so that someone will offer him a job so he can make his exit.

You just made me throw up a little thinking of those two in a sex scandal and the pics that would come out. Just disgusting.
