Weiner probably imagines himself as Schumer’s natural heir. He’s hanging on because he wants that senate seat. Those things are “for life” in NY.

His district is going to be “redistricted” into oblivion and there’s buzz that the Albany Democrats are as interested as anyone in casting Weiner adrift. I can’t imagine any of the party leaders want the Internet Flasher appearing regularly on television.

Personally, I’d rather have the obnoxious Democrat Party poster boy persist in his current position, dominating the headlines and twisting in the wind.

That was a good idea. I called my (useless) Congressman. Then I called the offices of Mike Pence, Marsha Blackburn and Michele Bachmann as well.

Scumbags like Weiner have and want no other life outside of politics. They thrive on the rush of being elected to an office with lots of juicy perks and the power to, by their votes, tell everybody else what they can and cannot do.

If you tweet your meat, you must lose your seat.

Call your Congressman and demand Weiner’s immediate resignation

???

Why on earth would you not want Weiner to stay exactly where he is? Just on the face of it, if the rat leaders want him gone, I want him to stay.

Weiner is the perfect “face” of the Democrat Party. I hope he has the guts to hang tough against the political whores in his own party who only care about the reflection he makes on the party. The simple scum in his district who elected him and consistently re-elect him have spoken, and they want him to stay. If he was to resign it would be like kicking dirt in their faces. Besides, those scum would only replace him with an equally repugnant piece of garbage.

Hang tough, Weiner! Stand tall! DO NOT resign!

He’s waiting on some job offer, the democrats can drum up for him.

He needn't be in any rush -- that big fat pension of his is secured (his full congressional salary for the rest of his life).

In the beginning of this, I was wondering if the Republicans would be heavily criticizing Weiner. Generally, they chose not to get involved. Perhaps this was a pretty good idea. Had they started in on Weiner, the media would have gleefully counter attacked, making Republicans the target. As time went by, and more was revealed, it got to the point that the Democrats finally had to demand Weiner’s resignation.

Surely a union lobby somewhere can use another idiot?

Apologies to the Sunny Side of the Street:

Hey Weiner, buck up, the sun will eventually shine again, it can get better!

Hide your meat, go back and tweet
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the Sunny side of the tweet

You know, I haven’t felt much sympathy for Congressman Weiner up until now. But think about the psychological devastation this must be causing him. A month ago, he was a rising star in the Party. Now, whether he quits or continues to tough it out, his reputation is destroyed forever. It’s a sad, pathetic situation, and it really makes me want to point and laugh and laugh.
