Erections have consequences
New York Post ^ | 6/6/11 | Editor

Posted on 06/06/2011 8:46:41 PM PDT by SmithL

Let us declare with certitude the obvious: Rep. Anthony Weiner has disgraced his office, and himself, and he needs to quit.

Never mind that he went before the TV cameras yesterday, cried on cue and assumed "responsibility" for a litany of offenses to common decency -- including sending lewd messages and revealing photos to young women on Twitter, and then lying about it.

Repeatedly and egregiously.

But there is a difference between taking "responsibility" for what one has done, and accepting the full consequences of those actions -- which in Weiner's case would require his resignation.

"My constituents have to make the determination," he said.

Shameless, classless, no character, no honor; is this the kind of man that should be in a leadership position in the greatest country in the world?

Much as Congressman Weiner would like it to, this ISN'T going away. After a quiet respite of headlines over the weekend, upon which he ducked out of site, the monster he created reared it's ugly head once again this morning in the headlines. This is NOT going away.

(D-NY) Anthony Weiner must resign.

His entire purpose in office has been as a whiny screaming attack dog towards the opposition Republicans. He can no longer hold that 'high moral ground' anymore. (not that he ever had it in the first place)

One of the reasons the NY Post is my favorite paper, beyond the Mets coverage, are the headlines. A laugh a day.

For a Democrat leader, it’s par for the course/s;)

Maybe by getting on her knees and helping weiner grow into a bigger man.

He’s a ‘rat. A sex scandal for them is simply a line on the resume that needs to be completed for street cred.
