Weiner to QUIT after showdown talks with wife and demands from Democrats to stand down

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner is set to dramatically resign today in the wake of his sexting scandal.

He made the decision after having 'long discussions' with his pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, who arrived back in the U.S. from a diplomatic trip to the Middle East and Africa this week, friends said.

Democrats have been piling the pressure on the congressman to resign for days in order to save the party, not to mention his own family, further embarrassment.

For melodrama.
They want to see if anyone will weep and try to talk them out of it.

Weiner goes soft; chooses to pull out of Congress. (NY Post, eat your heart out)

Shorten (no pun intended) it to "Weiner goes soft, pulls out" and you've got a Weiner winner.

You wonder? For certain the women on the other side of the tweets would be punished,perhaps stoned. Huma may be okay so long as she doesn’t complain.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

LOL. There’s a headline I’d love to see.

[jerseyrocks]

True that. Call me a sceptic but I question the photo of Huma driving herself in such a delicate state of pregnancy with all the media out to get her photos. Don’t you think she would have been escorted home, especially by a request from the Clinton’s? Don’t know if I’m buying the pregnancy thing.

There seems to be no supply shortage of NY Dems with serious moral issues.One will certainly like Weiner.

[N. Theknow]

Dems to Weiner: “Put down the pump and step away from the Capitol.”

[RicocheT]

Muslim Huma Abedin is saying “I divorce you” three times to Jewish Weiner. A bit of a turn around in the rules of the Holy Koran.

[Moonman62]

Huma probably threatened to turn him over to her mother. You know the Mom who is a member of the female arm of that peace-loving humanitarian group, the Muslim Brotherhood.

She threatened to turn him over to Hillary. Much worse.

I think they are underestimating him - 'further embarrassment' is coming...

[Grizzled Bear]

He can always open a Hot Dog Cart business in Harlem.

I'm not the real wiener waiver,
I'm the wiener waiver's son.
I'll only waive these wieners,
until the real wiener waiver comes.

NY Post: Wiener Finally Goes Down

Tomorrow’s Headline: “Weiner Pulls Out!”

[kevkrom]

I question the photo of Huma driving herself in such a delicate state of pregnancy

I don't buy the pregnancy stuff either, but she's supposedly first trimester -- hardly a fragile flower.

Weiner shrivels under pressure,Dem leadership cuts off Weiner

[kevkrom]

DC spits out Weiner.

[Fido969]

"Maybe I can sleep at Barney Frank's house until she cools off."

[ThE_RiPpEr.]

I used to think Wiener was crazy ... but now I can see his nuts.

[kevkrom]

I guess he’ll no longer be able to pole the electorate.

[RetSignman]

Don’t worry about the little wiener, you can bet his comrades have given him something ‘special’ in exchange for his quiting.

It’s the democrat way
