Rep. Anthony Weiner finally considering he may have to resign amid sexting scandal, says source
NY Daily News ^ | 6/12/11 | Alison Gendar

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.

“Does he have any marketable skills...?”

The market is only limited by one’s imagination. In Mexico there is a cartoonish character that is the brain child of a socialist doctor...google Dr. Simi to see some pictures.

Basically, Dr. Simi is a walking penis used to educate the (Mexican) public about condom use. Weiner has the skills to don the suit and help spread the message. I’m sure he would be a natural for it.

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.

Weiner is no different than any other liberal democrat. He, and most of the others, must go. Nancy and Harry should be first. Dick and Chuckie are close seconds. And of course Alfred Weiner next. His name is Alfred, isn't it?

The left says Sarah Palin is a quitter when she resigned as a basically lame duck Governor to save her state millions from frivolous lefty lawsuits, but the disgraced and creepy lefty hero Anthony Wiener may have to resign - not be a quitter.

Come on lefty media and other lefties, show some balance and call it Wiener what he is if he does this. A Quitter!

Adios Weiner. The testosterone enhanced Democrat über alfa females have decided that you must go. As you are an estrogen dominated under male, you must comply.

Maybe he and Ginger Lee can do a little film together.

Working title - "Ginger does Congress".

Funny how it is the women who are in charge in the Dem party who are (publicly) supposedly pushing him out - Allison Schwartz, Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman-Test. I take it the men are all hiding something.

They can call the CNN show;
“On the Grill” with Spitzer and Weiner.
I’d like to call it “Spitting Weiner” ,but I would be mauling Spitzers name(not that he hasn’t done that already).
