Saturday Massacre: Pelosi, Israel, Wasserman Schultz call for Weiner to resign

[tpfkaw]

Great, now I'm not going to be able to do anything of a sexual nature for a solid week.

[Reluctant Republican]

As someone who can't stand Weiner, I actually think he looks damn good in that picture.

No one ever accused me of having good taste, however.

[Meeker]

Great, now I'm not going to be able to do anything of a sexual nature for a solid week.

Oh, so it'll be just like any other week for you.

I'm always amazed at the level of projection here!

In any case, as a reasonably-attractive younger guy who's also into dudes, I can and do have all the sex I want.

Yeah, I think he looks in good shape for 46.  I'm captivated by his enormous schnoz- guy can light a cigar in the rain.

Let 2011 be henceforth known as the Year of Terrible Earthquakes & Congressmen from New York Distributing Shirtless Pictures of Themselves Via the Internet.

I hope to god Louise Slaughter isn't next.

Hopefully it turns out to be Gillibrand.

Charlie Rangel is still in Congress.

My money's on Michael Grimm.

[Paul Kemp]

For someone that apparently really opposes big government, Breitbart likes to play big brother.

 I think that would be a smart bet. Guy just seems shady to me.  Of course he isnt married so it wouldnt have legs.

Weiner is expected to hold a press conference at 4PM. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Weiner is expected to hold a press conference at 4PM. 

A drink says he won't resign.  Deal?

No, because I don't think he'll resign, either.  My guess is he goes the I'm a sex addict, I'm getting treatment, please respect the privacy of my family route.  But we'll see.

That in itself ought to be the scandal.  Staten Island deserves a congressman with at least two families.  None at all is a travesty.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

This whole "scandal" just shows why Weiner would be a great mayor of NYC and far better than Giuliani.

cinyc, cynic, cynic.......you can't refuse a drink for a bet  Ok, I'll bet you a drink he does resign, deal?

That would work - especially since NY1 says he's not resigning:

[Meeker]

Smart move. If he gets this out of the way now in three or four years no one is going to remember this except nasty Republican bloggers who bring it up when they write a post about him.

He's young; he can run for NYC Mayor in 2017 or whenever.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

God I hope he doesn't make his wife stand there and look as pathetic as every other political wife....

[Meeker]

Apparently Breitbart has shown up at the press conference and is at the podium taking questions

My guess is evil BREITBART has more than what he just released.  ABC News reportedly interviewed evil BREITBART's source for their evening newscast.  And once the floodgates open, more will follow.  Democrats neither want nor need the distraction - so ultimately, his Congressional career is in real jeopardy.  If he doesn't go, he might be pushed.

By the way, evil BREITBART is rumored to be at the Weiner press conference.

[Oakvale]

1) Haha, New York Congressmen are the best.
2) I hate that this turned out to be true mostly because it gives Breitbart something to gloat about.

I forget who it was who said around the time of Eliot Spitzer's resignation (lol New York) that that stock image of 'disgraced politician with "supportive" wife at his side' has become the modern day American Gothic.

[Cincinnatus]

1) Haha, New York Congressmen office holders are the best.

Weiner is crying at his press conference admitting to his lies.  He's saying he will not resign by the way.
