Subscribe to RSSEven Mark Foley is saying Weiner should resign.
The New York Post’s cover: “Weiner: I’ll stick it out.”
Roll Call notes that the key player if Weiner resigns is New York Congressman Joe Crowley.
The Times on Weiner: “The scandal swirling around him has revealed a truth about his personality and his place in the Capitol: He does not care much about those he serves with, and they do not care too much about him.”
“Senior Senate Democrats are growing frustrated by what they see as President Obama’s passivity on the economy, and are beginning to discuss a large infrastructure package funded by tax increases,” The Hill writes.
“Some House Republicans who supported Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) budget are wary of voting to increase the nation’s debt ceiling, fearing a barrage of campaign ads in the 2012 election,” The Hill reports.
Rep. Pete King announced a second hearing on “radicalization within the American-Muslim community,” to be held Wednesday.
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s chief spokesman, Jon Summers, will announce Friday that he is departing the Nevada Democrat’s leadership office, sources confirmed Thursday evening,” Roll Call reports.

Please, no more Weiner stories.
Weiner shoudn't leave any sooner than Vitter does. He should stay for the same reason that Vitter stayed; the inability of the other party to find someone who can hand him his @$$ at the polls!
Yes Vitter actually broke the law by doing business with a whore house and very kinky by having a diaper put on him. Eric Cantor defended him by saying Vitter's constituent will decide if Vitter should leave, Cantor also said the same thing for Governor Stanford. But now Cantor thinks Wiener should resign, Cantor is like most Republicans/Tea Party members as they are all hypocrites. Mr. Foly, Wiener was not trying to have sex with under age boys as you were trying to do and I suspect you are still doing. I don't condone what Wiener has done but be fair and have the same rules for everyone. If I remember correctly Mr Vitter received a standing ovation from the Republican side, pretty disgusting.
This is the kind of guy we tell our children and grandchildren to watch out for on the internet. Having said that his constituents want him to stay on. Their choice for their district. He will be totally ineffective as a Congressman and the ethics committee investigation can't possibly help the party.
Okay, wait a second...isn't this the same Mark Foley who was exchanging inappropriate messages with underage kids (see also: Not Consenting Adults) and who had Speaker Hastert try and help cover it up?
...and he thinks people will take him seriously?
Foley resigned so yes he has every right to say Weiner should resign.
One likes to play with boys and the other has a fantasy over girls, both sickos. But I would rather have a man who likes the opposite sex represent me than a man who likes "boys".
Also Senator Vitter did not lie when confronted that his phone # was in a madame's black book. It's the lying that should be a basis for resigning. Vitter's actions were over 8 years old, even the statutes of limitations in a court of law had expired.
i am a chris matthews fan but in the case of anthony weiner he is off base. he can't seem to leave it alone--i didn't hear him crying out to have the child molesting, pedophile, rapist, priests prosecuted and jailed and he seems to have complete amnesia concerning bill clinton.
Anthony--when Vitter leaves you can also go -- but not until then.
