House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke further Tuesday on her call for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, saying that Congress’ responsibility to uphold a “high ethical standard” must trump the desires of its individual members.
Pelosi, speaking to reporters in the Capitol, said that she has explained to her colleagues in the House “why I came to the conclusion that with the love of his family, the confidence of his constituents and the need for help that congressman Weiner should resign from the Congress.”
"I'm never prouder of my colleagues than in times of challenge like this,” she said. “That our caucus understands our concern for the rights of the individual member but our higher responsibility to our country to uphold a high ethical standard in the Congress in the United States."
Pelosi’s Republican counterpart in the House, House Speaker John Boehner, also told reporters Tuesday that he believes Weiner should step down. And, in an interview with NBC’s Ann Curry taped yesterday, President Barack Obama indicated that if he were in Weiner’s position, he would resign.
Weiner, who has asked for a leave of absence from the House while he seeks “treatment,” has had little public support since he revealed that he had previously lied about sending lewd messages and photos to at least six women over the past three years.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., hinted Tuesday that Democrats believe Weiner may resign “in a couple of days.”

Maybe with Weiner's wife returning early it will provide the necessary Heave HO!
He NEEDS TO GO!
He's gone from a once esteemed member of congress to a JOKE and now a massive distraction in the matter of two weeks!
Unlike Teapublicans, once you breach the public trust you are TOAST!
What a shame!
Come on old girl, stop with the conclusions. Explain what you mean by "Unlike Teapublicans...."
So is Rangle a Teapublican? How about Watters? I assume Clinton was also - he not only admitted he lied he was found to have committed perjury and was dis-barred.
So Gietner is a Teapublican, but Chros Lee, is not, is that your point?
So Clinton was "toast."
Come on, provide the basis for you statement, cause it appears to be, um, wrong.
BLAH!!!! Feisty get a life already...you have to have something in your miserable life other than posting first every fricking day on political stories...then again maybe u dont..ya in fact thats most likely the truth
Vitter needs to go too! What is it with these DEMS to let a member of Congress get away with what Vitter did. Be Gone VITTER NOW! Dems need to grow some here and quit being pushed over by the Republicans. Bye Bye Vitter NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOA! Who p!ssed in your Cheerio's this morning!
And you call ME miserable? LMFAO!
Teddy Kennedy's car accident was in 1969, and won re-election in 1970.
Many people, especially liberals, have wondered why Rep. Weiner should go, while Ted Kennedy stayed on in the Senate for another 40 years. I have often wondered the same thing. I remember when Chappaquidick happened. I was a teenager at the time, and it was I believe the same weekend as when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. Bobby Kennedy had died the year before. By the time Bobby had died, Teddy was only 37 years old, having lost his three older brothers, two brothers to assassination and one in World War II. I remember people here in Boston saying for a number of years that Teddy will always be a Senator, but never President. I guess people here felt sorry for him in many ways, because of the assassinations of his two brothers. I don't know how people across the country felt, but here in Boston we always thought that Teddy too was going to get shot. It was a common comment when Teddy's name came up.
As the years went by, we worried about this less and less. And he became a strong leader in the Senate over time. His drinking was always an issue, but again, we tried to put ourselves in his shoes. He had a sadness to him that you didn't see too often publicly but it was always there. When Bobby died in '68, Teddy remained in Hyannis for a long time in seclusion. He took Bobby's death very very hard as we all saw with his eulogy to Bobby at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
So we in his state stood by him and never regretted it. Chappaquidick was not something we, or Teddy himself was proud of. It's not something anyone can defend. But it was an accident. A tragic accident.
There are some (Keith Olbermann specifically) who are of the opinion that Rep. Weiner should resign, put his life and family back together and then run for Congress again. If his district wants to support him, then fine.
I agree with this sentiment.
Representative Anthony Weiner and the Democrats/Liberals are on their remarkable "Journey of Discovery". Both of them are in this intense self-absorbed examination of their values, their morals, and their beliefs. Is lying bad? Obviously, for Anthony, it depends. Is cheating on your family bad? Again, for Anthony, there are gray areas that need to be discussed and debated. And these journeys of introspection take time for the Liberals, and they are shared with the public with all their glorious details. A teachable moment as it were. It's important to Anthony and the Liberals that everyone share in their journey because what's important to them should be important to everyone. Resignation? Not a chance, not for Anthony. He worked hard for the job he has, and he really doesn't have another skill set, so he would have to apply for unemployment and food stamps without his Congressional job. These are not good things to do when there is a child on the way, and also when you've grown accustomed to a certain income level. And cheating, just what is it? Anthony and the Liberals like to redefine what cheating and lying actually are, and if you decompose their definitions down enough, they really have no meaning at all. Liberals do love the No-fault and the I'm-Okay-You're-Okay lifestyle.
So we all share in this remarkable Journey with Anthony and the Liberals, telecast live on CNN, Fox, ABC etc. And now Anthony is in treatment! There is always a treatment, because it is not a character issue, but instead, it is a medical issue! See? No one is to blame. Pop a few pills, talk with a psychologist a few times, and you're cured! The wonders of medical science. After that, let's all just move on.
Congratulations Anthony, you have taught the nation a valuable lesson, and we all look forward to your triumphant return.
No ability to provide any substance, eh, Feisty.
You are rapidly becoming a cartoon character. Amusing, always. Insightful or thoughtful, never.
With Obama's self doubts about a second term and his approval rating tanking (57% less than a month ago and 49% today)....the last thing Obama needs is having to deal with a full blown pervert in Congress with just 2 weeks of so called "re-hab"? Two weeks??.....is that like 6 steps of the 12 step process?
Interesting post, Pat. I like to think that as Americans we are forgiving people and that Rep. Weiner could have a chance to have a good career in politics but would need to know that he has learned a lesson from whatever personality issues led him to this behavior. So the suggestion that he resign, get his life back on track and then make a comeback has merit to me.
Go BRUINS!!!
Oh how rich - Pat is now comparing Weiner to Kennedy.
Best analogy ever.
But maybe Pat has some inside info. Pat, have you heard that Captain Turgid Rod, in his zeal to show his unit to as many 17-21 year olds as possible, killed someone? Or did one of the lovely nubiles die of laughter after seeing his peeker-wood?
Was it a case of death by schlong?
But seriously Pat - let's hear it. You are in favor of, and support Weiner? Huh.
What every happened to Charles Schumer (D-NY) who is Tony Weiner's champion and mentor? Usually a day cannot go by without Chuck being in front of the cameras pontificating on the great events of the day. But for the last two weeks, no Chuck. Chuck sure has gotten quiet on us. Maybe our elite media can track Chuck down and get his opinion on Mr. Weiner.
Maybe its just me but it seems that the public display of one's wiener is definitive proof of one's lack of ability to engage in rational thought. Does it really matter if they have a "D" or an "R" after their name? Of course one could argue that the fact they have a "D" or an "R" after their name is also definitive proof of their inability to engage in rational thought, but that's an argument for another day; perhaps closer to election time.
The Swamp Queen speaks: House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke further Tuesday on her call for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, saying that Congress’ responsibility to uphold a “high ethical standard” must trump the desires of its individual members.
With her record of "draining the swamp" as she claimed she would do when she became Speaker in 2007, Weiner is fully justified in telling her to bend over and kiss his weiner. She has zero credibility on an issue like this, even with the Dems.
Spanky, I'm not making the comparison. Others in the Democratic Party are who desperately want Weiner to stay, and are bringing up Teddy's accident.
Weiner should resign. I have said so. From the get go.
Okay?
Rep. Weiner must face the consequences of his bad behavior and extremely poor judgement. I am sure that New York has many intelligent, honorable, and morally stable men or women to elect to lead them.
Weiner had his chance but chose to blow it. Even though people may forgive him, there will always be consequences for this type of behavior. Rep. Weiner will always have this stigma or blemish on his record, his legacy will be the congressman who used the internet to show private parts of his body that only his wife and physician should see.
SteelerFan: Hard to believe the Bruins will be in a game 7 tomorrow night for the Stanley Cup. Wasn't expecting this at all, especially after being down 0-2 after the first two games.
It's been fun.
Do you REALLY want to compare notes given what Speaker Hastert did for Mark Foley?
Pat I had an "accident" also. I was high on marijuana and tboned a car. The lady I hit died. It was an accident, may I get a free pass as Ted Kennedy did? Please, will you come testify at my trial on my behalf?
Pat Boston
I don't feel any pity for anyone who kills another human being. There is a big difference between a real accident and a drunken cover up. I also don't have any pity for a crude man who feels he has to send pictures of his genitals to women he doesn't know.
All of you libs who keep saying Vitter must go, do you realize what happened was about 7 years ago. He and his wife have put it behind them. Yes he went to a prostitute, No he didn't lie to his constituents or the rest of America. He admitted his error and took responsibility for it. It had nothing to do with his job. So if he should go I think every politician who has broken any laws should also go. If that happens you libs are going to need a lot more replacements than the republicans.
DaNoid - You do know that Rahm Emanuel Knew of Mark Foley's actions for about a year before he spoke up. He held the information to use at election time. If the left is so upset about what Mark Foley did to young boys why do they feel it is OK to hide the facts for a year just to further their political agenda. That is sick. But then again libs are sick.

I don't feel any pity for anyone who kills another human being. There is a big difference between a real accident and a drunken cover up.
I would imagine most people don't feel pity. It's why I said I wondered how Teddy survived all his re-elections.
I also don't have any pity for a crude man who feels he has to send pictures of his genitals to women he doesn't know.
I'm not sure it's pity as much a progressive voice in the House that is desperately needed. Believe it or not, there are people who don't care about what Rep. Weiner did. Especially the media. They consider this personal behavior. I disagree big time.
I'm not calling for Vitter's resignation. There is hypocrisy all over the place. How do we stop this behavior? Can we the people demand it be stopped?
The only way I know is to start demanding resignations. Immediately. What's in the past is in the past. I agree with you.
Oh Rep. Weenie, please don't resign. This whole thing is the most fun I've had in months! The media won't let it go, and the Dems are furious that they can't get anything done....well, not that they get anything done at any time.
Pat...Have another glass of Scotch ...you must be keeping the Living Kennedy's in business...
Ted of course was part of the Kennedy family and the Kennedy mystique. People, for what ever reason, got caught up in this mystique and seem to be able to forgive Ted's very major transgressions. Certainly others were more than capable when compared to Ted, and could have taken over that Senate seat and done a fine job. What's even more bizarre is the media left Ted get away with it. He was always the "Lion of the Liberals" in the Senate. It's not clear why they gave him not only a pass, but they also glorified him.
There is something very wrong with Tony Weiner. And its going to take a long time for him to sort through the issues he has before he gets in control of what ever urges he seems to have. The problem for Tony is he's a very outspoken critic in a very public forum. Because of that, the public will be subjected to every move the man makes.
franciosduvalle: I don't drink scotch. Never have. I'm not much of a drinker. However, if the Bruins win the Stanley Cup - who knows. I may have a few Bud Lites. That's about my speed.
Speaking of the Kennedys, I just bought a book after seeing the author on CSpan a few weeks ago. It's called Berlin 1961 - Kennedy, Kruschev and The Most Dangerous Place On Earth. Evidently the author doesn't believe JFK handled Berlin too well. Nor Cuba.
I'm anxious to read it. I just may agree with the author after reading it. Or I may not.
We'll see.
JoAnna, nice post. I agree on all points.
And to be honest, I was completely caught up in the Camelot image of JFK growing up. There wasn't a book about him I didn't read. I admired Jackie as well, mostly because she could speak 5 languages and was well educated. She grew up in a Republican family, which most people don't know.
As time goes on we have all had to put away all those unrealistic images. Especially as the stories surfaced of JFK and his womanizing in the White House. He always thought if he got caught he was going to be impeached. But the media back then didn't report such things.
JFK also said many times that no other president had a worse first year Administration than he did. It was pretty bad.
Hey, the bottom line is, he's a pervert. Does he need to go? He!! yes he needs to go, just like any, and all, elected officials, regardless of Party, that don't have strong morals and character. I can't believe anyone can possibly support and justify his miserable, immoral behavior. Now is a good time for Mr. Obama to use his "shovel ready" shove and shovel the slime off the floor.
Dave D-1046643
I couln't agree more. It is time this Weiner 'turd' was flushed.
@FIESTY
I'd LOVE to see your response to Comment #1.1
At the moment I'm in complete agreement with Spanky's comments on the subject.
Hey Steeler Fan and Boston Pat, found something for us to come together on:
GO BRUINS!
As a Die-Hard Red-Wing Fan and with family in Boston, I will be cheering for an Original 6 Team every time!
Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals is one of the best Sporting Events anyone can hope for.
Weiner's mistake was not having an affair, I don't care about other people's morals, but in being so stupid as to take pictures of his own pee-pee and send them electronically (where they can remain forever and ever amen) to someone he doesn't know, and all the while posing lovingly with his beautiful, new, pregnant wife. People elect leaders because they believe they will make intelligent decisions on their behalf. Not this piece of ca-ca.
Don't pay any attentio to Spanky because somebody pissed in his cheerios.
Alas, the Weiner is limp......time to move on......
No Weiners in Congress, there are enough already.
Weiner is probably thinking "What will I do now?".
Not to worry - CNN will probably give him a job, like they did for Eliot Spitzer, former Democratic Governor of New York. If not, msnbc will give him a show to compete with Keith 'what's his name'.
Pelosi looks like she can stand a good stiff Weiner!
Only if it's silicone...
The headline or this one should have been Nancy pelosi wants to Pull Weiner!
Or, "Nancy Pelosi says no Weiner". How about "Pelosi says 'No Weiner in here'"
Weiner was elected by the people of New York to represent them. Its up to New Yorkers to choose whether or not they want to yank their Weiner!
navyvet98 ..Good post ...Speaking of which ..google the New York Post headline today..."Obama beats Weiner"...I wonder if they are talking about Anthony Weiner????
Hurry up, guys...recess is almost over and you don't want to be late for gym class!
Da Noid....almost done ...I'm still holding up your mothers picture with one-hand ..
Erections have consequences.
He also votes on issues that affect the entire Country. I don't want this slimeball voting on anything that affects me, period.
HeY...Navyvet98....Wake up. This clown may have been voted in by New Yorkers but he is a vote that could affect us all. He has lost all credibility. He's not capable of rational thought. He had his oppotunity with 7 terms, now he's blown it. Time to talk a hike.
When the fornicator with prostitutes SENATOR DAVID VITTER resigns from office Representative Weiner should resign, BUT NOT BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feisty is a dude.........
It is downright embarrasing when our government - at ANY level in ANY jurisdiction - is in the hands of perverts.
Earily quite in this whole mess...his God Father" Schumer.....
The sheer arrogance and hubris of this idiot (Weiner) is astounding....
Weiner is a dog!! Dog gone!! NOW!!
Why isn't Pelosi and Boehner also calling for Vitter's resignation?
So far the only person who committed a crime was Vitter?
They need to both resign.
Hey Groucho, you must be a democrat right? Nothing like shifting the attention elsewhere. We're dealing with the pervert Weiner. Weiner has to go.
R.- That is exactly what most people do on these vines. I have noticed that as soon as one group talks about the other, the other group immediately brings up someone from the other group. What it seems to me is that if it is in the past, not sure what constitutes past, it is ok to move on. One of the posts above talks about Vitter admitting what he did so we should just move on. The problem is that they only admit to wrong after they have been caught. It shouldn't excuse them whether they told the truth when caught or lied about it until the truth came out. They should not be representing anybody. To suggest that because they admit to doing wrong it is ok to let them be is completly wrong.
We need more men and women like Weiner in congress. At least he's honest after prodding and he seems like a fun guy.
Ha!Ha!Ha!......stop......your killing me....
What are you talking about? They're ALL weiners in Congress!
AMEN
Feisty..u are miserable..admitting it is the first step to recovery..u can do it
Should Senator Vitter (GOP) of Louisiana quit?
ADMITTING to performing SEX CRIMES? Were some of the girls and boys Vitter had sex with minors? Why no Republican/Democratic calls for Vitter to resign? Why no Corporate Media Coverage? Why no POLICE INVESTIGATION?
That my point exactly!!!! The democrates are all weak-knee, spineless and has no guts with the exception of Weiner. Weiner was the most effective person in congress for the democratic party that spoke up for all deprived poor and middle class people. It was natural for the opposition to target him because they already know the democratic party is weak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the voters decide. All the elected officials need to grow up, distractions even unlike this are a part of life. Figure it out dude.
Morbas......I'd guess that you are under the age of 50 right? I say that because we, for the past 50-60 years have been BREEDING corruption, greed, indifference, low/no morality in all of the generations. Why, because it's easier to be a friend and GOOD BUDDY than it is to be a parent teaching good values. It's part of life that we've allowed....doesn't mean it's right. I guess APATHY kicks in at some point and rational thought slips away.
Nancy Pelosi should stop throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Anthony Weiner has been a good congressman and can still do a lot of good for democrats and for our nation. She is wrong to be so spiteful and judgmental.
Throw out the baby with the bath water?... Anthony Weiner's parents kept the foreskin, and threw out the baby!
..They made a wallet out of it ...But when he goes on vacation he has Nacy Pelosi rub it and it turns into a suitcase!
Old Nancy (and I do mean OLD), thought it was made of alligator at first, until she found out it doesn't bite, it just spits...
With Obama's approval rating tanking (57% less than a month ago and 49% today)....the last thing Obama needs is having to deal with a full blown pervert in Congress with just 2 weeks of "re-hab"?
Obama can always blame it on Bush.
alwaysfaithfull to whom?
Whats is Congress' approval rating?
Oh what a tangled web they weave, when Weiners practice to deceive...
If every elected official who lied had to resign, there wouldn't be a government left on any level.
And where were these Democrats when Bill Clinton lied, when he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman; Miss Lewinsky"?
I think representative Weiner has a mental problem (exhibitionism?), and is an idiot, but for the Democrats to go after him is hypocritical. Also, as a representative he will be up for reelection next year; I would like to see his constituents make the decision.
You might be on to something there. We could finally have a fresh start.
John - Not absolutely sure about this but.... tweeting a picture of his naked dick to a college girl......just might mind you...just might have something to do with just about everyone in Congress (including the President) wanting him to get the hell out now........just speculation on my part of course......what do you think? If not...maybe you can offer up your 18 year old daughter, sister, niece, cousin as an intern to Congressman Weiner.....God knows he is going to need all the help that he can get........now there is a thought! What an opportunity of life time!
Me thinks ol Feisty.....has been nippin the ol Blackberry Brandy Bottle this morning.........and frequently.....................
They're ALL a bunch of dicks in Congress...
to alwaysfaithfull, did you tell Vitter to offer up his 18 year old daughter?
Enough is enough ... Leave the man alone. Did everyone forget what our President did? And I'm talking about Mr. Bill Clinton here ... He lied, and he did a WHOLE lot more than just send a few pics.Â
And I'm so tired of all of these liars in Congress throwing stones at the glass house. Every single one of these have lied, and they continue to lie to the American people every single day. Why don't they all just resign ... I know that I would be happy. I'm so tired of all of their lies and deceit. They just need to go ...Â
Yeah but ol slick Willy was good........he left no photos..............just DNA!
Meanwhile, Rome burns. The National Debt ticker is winding down and here are the Dems (you know, the guys who controlled 100% of government and couldn't even draw up a freakin BUDGET on their watch)...dancing around the issue of Wiener's pole. This is pathetic and just another "crisis" these idiots intend not to waste. Sad.
The Beev-2396805.....I've been telling many people through emails that we can do something about this problem with the 534 selected politicians. We can vote them out. Well, that sounds good....then there is the Electoral College. This is the time when our $125,000 politicians all become millionaires.We all just need to be emailing our Senators and Representative weekly on all issues and ask what they are going to do for US today and TOMORROW. Forget what they did or THINK they did for us yesterday.
Enough is enough!! Let's face it. If you think there are politicians that are above board, honest, hard working. Someone with good morals and good character......let me tell you....they just haven't been exposed yet. I hate to talk like a defeatist, but if you been watching and listening to the crap for over 50 years .....the stories are all the same, only the names have changed.
Do you actually think that your Congressman sees your emails?
For the most part comments on these threads are reminiscent of school kids calling each other names. They usually don't have anything meaningful to contribute. Feisty does at times as she deftly jabs the idiocy of the Republican non-agenda. Spanky? Never. What a useless person this must be. And now there's someone who has created a user name to "mimic" Fieisty.
An exception I think is "Pat, Boston, Ma" who gives us a well thought out retrospective of the late Ted Kennedy. Pat wasn't trying to vilify anyone or justify any stupidity of anyone. Just kind of putting out his/her thoughts about one of the great political men of our time.
Thanks Pat.
You are right, John-----thanks for sharing an adult viewpoint!
Pat always has an interesting take on events of the day and a different perspective.
Thanks John for the compliment. You too SFan.
Glad you noticed - thanks for the kind words John!
You're right on the money about Pat - she's one of the FINEST contributors around here! ;o)
And just what "meaningful contributions" has Rep. Anthony Weiner made, besides Twittering his "Hebrew National" to college-aged girls?
"Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases." -John Adams
"The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest." -Thomas Jefferson
"Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust must be men of unexceptionable characters." -Samuel Adams
"You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think." -Milton Berle
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." -Mark Twain
Fiesty, I was saddened to read you were playing us. It was a challenge going up against you. Please keep up the dark side from time to time to keep it interesting!
Ted "hic" Kennedy was a drunken filandering slimeball. I can't believe you whack jobs would even mention his name! I guess he and Clinton are in the Democrat hall of fame. Weiner will be nominated for sure!
Tit for tat! You give us Vitter, we'll give you Weiner.
Frank-1942760
There should be no tit for tat, which is just a race to the bottom of the dungheap. The Democrats can draw their own line in the sand and clean up their side of the House, starting with this "turd" representing Queens, NY. Having at last claimed the high ground, they can shame the Republicans into flushing their turds, too.
HA.HA.HA..........Boner telling Weiner to resign is like Charlie Sheen telling Pee Wee Herman to stay off the TV air..........
Tolerating this guy's continuation in office serves to show the depth of depravity existent now in our congress. Trust is gone and so is respect.
What "trust and respect" are you getting from Congress?
The Beev:
The last 3 GOP presidents signed TWENTY deficit riddled budgets which contributed AT LEAST $11T to the national debt. WHY would they do that??? Easy. They followed the strategy called "starve the beast" (google it) which was adopted under reagan and called for running up the debt so high as to cause a debt crisis. THEN they could present to the American people that privatizing the entitlements was the ONLY solution. They endangered the national security of the United States and its future economy JUST to accomplish a long held goal. Hell, even bush's last budget, FY 2009, had a $1.3T deficit BEFORE Obama even took office ( you guys are so fond, mistakingly, of attributing that deficit to Obama.)
So yes this crisis is a deliberate creation of the GOP over the last 30 years. It is SO MONSTROUS that it is hard to believe that a US political party would do such a thing. However, the facts support that they indeed did it quite intentionally. The goal is to take benefits away from the LESS fortunate and given that money to the MOST fortunate.
The Republican Party has broken faith with the Ameican people and they've forfeited their right to meaningfully participate in government for the foreseable future because of their sheer TREACHERY!

You have done a wonderful job of looking these things up, however any Republican will denounce these truths as lies or misinformation. You will probably be chastised for even thinking of this. How ever this registered Republican that has seen his party go to hell in the last 60 years praise you for the websites as most do not, they just give their opinion, with out any facts
life, well, they'll have a hard time doing so credibly since 2 of the links are OFFICIAL numbers, one article is written by a conservative republican (Bruce Bartlett) who served in both the Reagan and Bush administrations, another written by a Nobel Prize winning economist. But I agree, I dont think those little details with stop them from having a cow. BUT, they wont be able to refute those facts. THAT is why I think this version of the GOP must be destroyed in the enxt election. They represent a clear and prtesent danger to the survival of this country as we know it! It is almost UNHEARD of for a political party to risk the survival of this country to accomplish a political goals. But that is EXACTLY what the GOP has done. I believe this version of the GOP has forfeited their right to meaningfully participate in the governence of this country for a VERY long time!
Tom, nobody gives a !@#$ what you say. You are about to be very miserable for a very long time thanks to the GOP. You will probably have to get a real job. Oh the horror!
he needs to resign, then come back and be a host on cable tv and he can be a stay at home dad during the day while his wife is out travelling the globe with Hillary. Oh wait, she will be out of a job after 2012.
Weiner can team up with Spitzer: Weiner & Spitzer... & Swallows...
