Rep. Anthony Weiner finally thinks with the right head!

Posted on

Ba-Da-Bump-Ching!

But seriously, the news:

WASHINGTON – 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.

TMZ published a new slew of squirm-inducing self-portraits, including several full-body shots taken in the House gym – some clothed, some not.

Several show Weiner showing off his naked body holding only his camera and his privates.

Another source close to Weiner said the congressman was surprised it took two weeks for the gym photos to surface.

It’s quite obvious, that this dude was sick; so, I will not do the pile on. Hopefully, he does the right thing, quickly.

There is another thing too; there is a rather funny poll over at this story’s source link, which says:

If Anthony Weiner quits his job, how should he earn his living?

My answer? I have no idea, but for his sake, I hope it does not involve long periods around his wife! 😛

I do not always agree with Jack, but more often than not; he is right on point.

NYT: Weiner’s wife is preggers

Posted on

Just when you it could not get any worse for the man. This drops:

Via The NYT’s city room blog:

Charles Dharapak/Associated Press
Representative Anthony D. Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, in January.
Their marriage has become the subject of intense speculation and scrutiny amid an embarrassing online sex scandal.

Now, Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin are about to make news of a different kind: they are expecting their first child.

Ms. Abedin, 35, is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.

The pregnancy, which the couple has disclosed to close friends and family, adds a new dimension to questions about the future of their marriage.

Sad, disgusted…. Just a few words I am feeling right now.

Go Read Here and Here especially.

Now, before anyone hollers, “What about you!?!?”

I wanted to wait and see; before I starting writing about it; and yes, it does have to do with the fact than Andrew BreitBart is not my high list of people that I respect! Don’t like it, tough shit! 😡

However, said discussed subject matter at said links is another clown; who cannot admit when he is wrong. Unlike me.

That is all.

 

The crap is now hitting the fan for Weiner

In more ways than one….

First enter one Tim Kaine:

Then, there is this:

Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York, reeling from revelations of salacious online behavior that threaten his political career, moved rapidly on Tuesday to make amends as Republicans called for his resignation and leading members of his own Democratic Party distanced themselves from him.

Mr. Weiner spent much of the past 24 hours apologizing over and over to stunned Congressional colleagues and Democratic leaders angry at him for misleading them and the public. Even neighboring House Democrats seemed shaken, with many of them worrying that worse disclosures may still surface.

In a tense telephone call with Mr. Weiner, during which he apologized, Representative Nydia M. Velázquez of Brooklyn scolded him, as she recalled: “How can you explain that somebody can be so smart but so stupid?”

Asked if Mr. Weiner should resign, she replied, “The most important thing in this business is credibility.”

Signs of a redrawn political reality quickly emerged for Mr. Weiner, once considered a top contender to become mayor of New York. His campaign donors said they were especially shocked and furious because a week ago the congressman attributed his online travails to a “vast right-wing conspiracy,” a contributor who spoke with him said.

When you’ve lost your Party and your donors; that is usually a good time to get out of the position you are working in. I believe he will be gone by Friday. I bet there are a great number of Democrats who hope that he is gone by Friday!

WeinerGate Continues: TMZ reports that Weiner asked porn star to lie

Posted on

Oh boy…:

From TMZ.com

Congressman Anthony Weiner instructed one of his Internet women how to lie about their relationship … and even offered PR help from his team, which could create major legal issues for him … TMZ has learned. Weiner and former porn star Ginger Lee exchanged scores of sexual emails over a long period of time.  When the underwear scandal broke on May 28, Lee began receiving calls from the media, and Weiner was more than happy to help her control the situation … by lying. On June 2, Weiner emailed Lee, “Do you need to talk to a professional PR type person to give u advice?  I can have someone on my team call. [Yeah, my team is doing great. Ugh].” It’s unclear if Weiner’s PR team is from his Congressional staff.  If so, Weiner could run afoul of House Ethics Rules as well as the law.

Looks like Weiner might be gone by the end of the week. This stuff is building and sooner or later, he is going to have to go. Much to her credit Nancy Pelosi is ordering an investigation into whether Weiner broke any ethics laws or not. Time will tell or not whether he faces any charges or not.

Either way, this is a huge blow to the Deomcrats on the hill and in New York.
