Weiner Is Thinking About Resigning
By John Hudson 08:59 AM ET
Rep. Anthony Weiner may be worn out. According to the New York Daily News, the embattled congressman is considering resigning following the latest batch of beefcake photos and calls for his resignation from the Democratic leadership. "A source close to the congressman told the Daily News that he had been adamant about keeping his seat - even amid daily new revelations of his reckless sexting," Alison Gendar reports. "But the unrelenting media coverage, the demands from his party's leaders that he step down and the appearance of more humiliating photos made Weiner realize he may not be able to bull his way through the crisis after all, the source said." Additionally, Wiener's office released a statement to Politico saying "Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.”
At this point, the bigwigs calling for his departure include House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Steve Israel.
But two of his closest allies have not yet urged him to step down: his wife Huma Abedin and Chuck Schumer:

Shouldn't 'beefcake' photos really be taken by someone other than the pervert?
He will announce his resignation about five minutes after he lands his gig with CNN or MSNBC. That’s all he’s waiting on.
He must have gotten his ‘back room’ deal from the democrat thug machine. That is the only way he is going to leave. Follow the money....
Hay Weiner! BEAT IT ! ! !

Call your Congressman and demand Weiner’s immediate resignation, or have Weiner face an expulsion vote as allowed by the Constitution.
He won’t go without a firm push—from you.
Take a stand. His behavior is a pox on the body politic, and if we stand for this, we’ll stand for anything.
I agree. He’s waiting on some job offer, the democrats can drum up for him. CNN or MSNBC seem like the perverted match... I mean perfect match.
Beefcake eh....so its a weiner upgrade..............snicker
I thought he was determined to stick it out?
Beefcake???
Hardly they were gluten free.
Beefcake? Weiner is the Internet Raincoat Flasher, no different from the guy in the park who shows his privates to anyone, including children.
You gotta quit!
WHERE'S THE BEEFCAKE???!?
Some big-timer in the party has found a job for him so now he doesn't have to worry about going broke, and jobless with no known skills.
>> I thought he was determined to stick it out?
ROFL!
Isn’t “sticking it out” what got him into trouble in the first place?
And Briebart is just rounding the 4th turn of this 400M. More to come. KICK BRIEBART KICK!
“...Follow the money....”
Yep, you can bet that, if/when he resigns, he’s cut a deal for a good chunk of Obama’s “stash” aka “stimulus” money that is coming out of the taxpayers’ pocket. Now we know where all that money is going—into democrat pockets.
