Don’t forget, as I was reminded by a TAM, this SOB will collect his tax-payer funded congressional pension for the rest of his life. I also believe there will be a press conference at 11am PT, just in time for Tammy Radio!

Weiner Tells House Leaders He’ll Resign

WASHINGTON — Representative Anthony D. Weiner has told House leaders that he plans to resign his seat after coming under growing pressure from his Democratic colleagues to leave the House, said a top Democratic official and two people told of Mr. Weiner’s plans.

His decision follows revelations of his lewd online exchanges with women.

The top Democratic official said Mr. Weiner called Representative Nancy Pelosi of California and Representative Steve Israel of New York last night while they were at the White House picnic to inform them he had decided to resign on Thursday.

    So long, Anthony. As Bob Hope used to say, “Thanks for the memories.” LOL

    This morning, I was elated when I heard the good news, but then I remembered that we still have Schumer, Gillibrand and Bloomberg :( Weiner was Schumer’s little pet, and he helped get him elected. Wow, Schmucky (as Levin calls him), ya really know how to pick ‘em!

    Kathleen Parker is working on a talk show deal with him, I’m sure.

  4. This speech essentially means he has no intention of going away–some way, some how, Weiner intends to return to political life. And imagine what an sob he’ll be if he does.

    Weiner will receive 75% of his $174,000 salary for live after 55 3/4.
    If Huma out lives him she receives the same. I am sure he is covered for life with medical benefits. He is on the congressional plan which means he is exempt from Obamacare. No pity party for the Weiner’s.

  6. MaryVal says:

    SO glad Huma was not on stage to hold his weiner, I mean, hold his hand when the pervert resigned. If the Weiner needed reassurance or support, he could always hold the weiner. It’s worked for him in the past. We need a divorce pool. Weiner’s primary love relationship is with the weiner and the image in his mirror. There’s no room in there for a third party (Huma).

    File this in the Funny/Not-Funny, short-staffed or what Folder.
    When the stuff hit the fan, what?…2 weeks ago?, I sent an email to my Congressman, Carter-R-TX, with the usual complaint about this situation. Well, today, just a few minutes ago when I checked my personal email I received a reply:

    Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns regarding the recent revelation that Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in unethical online behavior.

    Geezie-Peezie!

    Ciao’

    So long, Weinie. Maybe you can play Horshack on a Welcome Back, Kotter reunion.

    You know, this all has been rather familiar to me. Belligerence, random exhibitionism, blaming other people for your mistakes, lying to try to stay out of trouble, not knowing when to shut up — I’ve been dealing with all of these things at home recently. But, oh, wait … it’s my FOUR-YEAR-OLD child who’s doing those things. And he’s showing a far greater capacity for shame and self-correction than the aptly-monikered Mr. Weiner — not to mention his being about a bajillion times cuter, nicer, smarter, and more helpful than the erstwhile congressman.

    Goodbye, pervert!
