Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 via NYT http://www.nytimes.c...ill-resign.html WASHINGTON — Representative Anthony D. Weiner has told friends that he plans to resign his seat after coming under growing pressure from his Democratic colleagues to leave the House, said a person told of Mr. Weiner’s plans. His decision follows of revelations of his lewd online exchanges with women, said a person told of Mr. Weiner’s plans. The news comes as Democratic leaders prepared to hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss whether to strip the 46-year-old Congressman of his committee assignments, a blow which would severely damage his effectiveness. Mr. Weiner, a Democrat, came to the conclusion that he could no longer serve after having long discussions with his wife, Huma Abedin, when she returned home on Tuesday after traveling abroad with her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pressure on Mr. Weiner to leave the House has been building for days, with top House Democrats, including Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader, coming forward over the weekend publicly urge him to spare himself, his family and his party any more embarrassment. But that pressure intensified earlier this week when President Obama publicly suggested that he should step down and Ms. Pelosi told reporters that she was prepared to strip Mr. Weiner of his committee assignments if he did not leave. At the same time, the House ethics committee had formally opened an inquiry into Mr. Weiner’s conduct, including trading private messages with a teenage girl in Delaware. The investigation raised the prospect that he would face formal charges and sanctions, including expulsion. But with his decision to resign, the investigation is expected to end, since the committee has jurisdiction only over the actions of members of Congress.

hotboy06 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Poor Weiner. Although he didn't cheat on his wife, he still did a fucked up thing and then lied about it. It doesn't affect me either way if he resigned or not. But with the pressure of some of his people telling him to, he should.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you got him fucked up with Arnold now the stank shit he did reflected on him being a family man, in Weiner's case he was showing nude pics, and dick shots, and a Congressman when the news was on the story they talked about "oh and some of the pictures are from the official gym that only Congress uses, no one else gets in" Im like where is the part about wifey? Trust me this was about nothing but good ole sex and America, Madonna said it best back in 2004, "Its much ado about nothing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aed05 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If Bill Clinton didn't resign after the Monica Lewinsky drama, no one should have to resign. Dems don't know how to hold each other down.

Bailey Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Im surprised at the comments, they took this man down in scandal and ya'll swear you wouldn't resign what the hell is he supposed to do? Stay on the front page of news? Shower fully clothed? Come on now resigning over this isn't the issue, the issue is whether you can stay in your job and do it effectively when everyone is coming at you sideways, besides the commentary on him basically said he was a mouth piece, he spoke a good game but as far as legislation goes he did nothing major he was not THAT important on a national level.
