BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Rep. Weiner tells friends he is resigning, NYT reports. Developing
Good Riddance to another Liberal who thought he could get away with lying and being a pervert on the INTERNET..
NBC News confirms that Weiner called Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Rep. Steve Israel last night to inform them he had decided to resign on Thursday.
Now watch Weiner have another long goodbye press conference and another meltdown by this Liberal Pervert....IMHO

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Rep. Weiner tells friends he is resigning, NYT reports. Developing Good Riddance to another Liberal politician who thought he could get away with lying and being a pervert on the INTERNET.. Fixed. This isn't a liberal/conservative problem, it's a entitlement problem that seems to afflict some people after being elected to public office

Rep. Weiner plans to resign Thursday Ten days after admitting that he lied about sending sexually-charged text messages and photos to women he met online, Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., is preparing to step down. NBC News confirms that Weiner called Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Rep. Steve Israel last night to inform them he had decided to resign on Thursday. The New York Times was the first to report that Weiner told friends of his plan to resign under mounting pressure from House Democratic leaders, who were poised Thursday to strip the New York congressman of his committee assignments. NBC reported shortly before the news broke that congressional staff members appeared to be packing up Weiner’s office this morning. Per NBC's Alex Moe, two staff members and two interns left the office with their belongings after turning off lights and locking the door. Weiner resisted giving up his seat for more than a week, despite calls for his resignation from Pelosi and President Barack Obama. firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/06/16/6873028-rep-weiner-plans-to-resign-thursday-?gt1=43001

Liberals in congress such as Weiner, Rangel and Waters can lie, cheat, steal because they know that they are protected by Nancy Pelosi and the Ethics Committee is a joke....However Weiner went too far with his crotch shots...do deal with it..

Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky.—Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow'r to accompt?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

Christopher Lee ring a bell? How about Larry Craig? Mark Foley? Bob Allen? Bad behavior is not limited to one side of the aisle. You really lose credibility when you point fingers solely at democrats while ignoring that some republicans have done the same. I can admit that there are democrat pigs in government, what's the problem with admitting that some republicans are pigs too?

I have to agree with the libs on the point that both parties are chock full of scoundrels who do terrible things. The difference still is that the Republican Party's scoundrels tend to stick to screwing up their own lives, while Democrats like to screw up our lives while screwing up their own lives.

Naw I know, that is asking to much. 50% of the representatives who have sent pics of their naked body parts to someone not their spouse are too busy stressing over whether they are next to pay attention to business.

Sorry Paul, you were close but until Weiner steps up releases a statement to his constituants he has not resigned, he may have called Pelosi to give her a heads up on the 15th but, until his rsignation letter is in hand he can always change his mind.

What about all the Liberals who defended Weiner ? Are they going to apologize for being behind this Sick Pervert?? And what took so long?? Weiner should have been forced to resign last week by Pelosi and spared us all his weird hangups ..IMHO When this story first became news the Liberals here tried to downplay it and post past issues by Republicans....this is about a Liberal who was a disagrace to the Congress of the United States before he began to post his crotch shots...

If he wanted to stay, he could. He loses his committee assignments, so what? He's still a congressman until he's unelected by his constitutents.

Weiner resisted giving up his seat for more than a week, despite calls for his resignation from Pelosi and President Barack Obama.
But the Times reports that Weiner decided to step down after “having long discussions” with his wife, Huma Abedin, who just returned Tuesday from an overseas trip with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. News broke last week that Abedin is pregnant.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner told reporters at a press conference Thursday morning that Weiner had not informed him of his decision to resign, adding that the episode has been a "distraction."
His wife Huma Abedin must have forced him to resign if it was NOT Pelosi or Obama so who cares....he is history...

OK, so I looked at a bunch of links, and I can't find a credible source that shows any texts with the hs girls were of the "sexting" variety. No question that he was sexting adult women.
Does that really make him a pervert? Stupid and arrogant, yes, but a pervert? I don't think so.
