http://www.wral.com/news/political/story/9718506/ Weiner won't go; new photos surface on Internet Posted: 5:08 a.m. today Updated: 44 minutes ago WASHINGTON — House Democratic leaders on Sunday urged embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner to quit because of his sex texting scandal, a request the New York lawmaker has sidestepped in favor of a temporary leave of absence to undergo treatment. The Republican Party chairman criticized Democratic leaders for not taking a more forceful stand earlier on the affair, which has overshadowed much of the legislative business on Capitol Hill over the past week. Weiner has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos ranging from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online, and the latest to surface appeared on the entertainment website TMZ. The photos posted Sunday were purportedly taken in the House members' gym and show a shirt-less Weiner with a towel around his waist and his hand on his crotch. TMZ said the photos were sent online to at least one woman. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat, spoke of Weiner's "bizarre and unacceptable behavior" in texting inappropriate pictures of himself to young women. Hoyer said it would be "extraordinarily difficult" for Weiner to continue to represent his constituents effectively. Weiner announced Saturday that he was entering professional treatment at an undisclosed location and wanted a leave of absence from Congress. A statement from an aide did not say where he would receive treatment or what type was involved. That announcement came right after House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the national party head, said Weiner must go. snip..... |

. This guy has got problems - the Rehab is cover, of course. When you read House Members Gym - think Taxpayer's Money. That is our money. Something's funny if he's using a personal blackberry and not one reimbursed by the Gov't. Clinton is his Hero - so maybe he's playing word games - it's his private Blackberry and he is reimbursed every month, maybe. Which would mean you and I are paying for it. .

If the Democrats are really serious about getting rid of this guy, they will move quickly on ethics hearings and expel him. Otherwise, the same arrogant attitude that put him in this trouble will continue. I suspect that all of that counseling has not helped Tiger Woods and neither will it help Weiner because both were forced into it. I wonder how many congressmen knew about his exploits in the House gym? Perhaps, cool heads will prevail upon him for the sake of his wife and family to give it up. |

What is the approval rating of congress lately? About 9% I think. After Weinergate I imagine it's down to zero. Anthony Weiner is an unattractive porn-star wannabe who is an embarrassment to this country. It gets worse every day with him! I'm like Baldo - don't know whether to laugh or cry. |

weiner has always worked as a politician. He has no other talents that he can make a living at for his wife and soon to be child. He needs to hang onto this job because it is the only thing he knows how to do. I guess when one learns how to screw the taxpayer with porn pictures, it is not hard to screw your wife by getting caught. That poor kid is not even born yet and is already facing serious problems in the future. How could the kid think anything other than how could dad love my mother and want me if he wanted all these other women to see how pretty he is just a month after the marriage happened. Our congressman has not matured yet. Just a kid in the heads. |

I've never heard of the staff being taken out from under a Congressman. Rangle didn't have this happen to him, nor did William "Cold Hard Cash" Jefferson (who was sentenced to 13 years in prison), Waters, etc. If this is true, it is very unusual and hard hitting. What is going on? Edited by jewelcove, Jun 12 2011, 06:50 PM.

Make no mistake Weiner's demise is a big loss for the Dems. The Huma Abedin Brand, Weiner's wife, was destined to be a rising star with her husband. It's gone now. |

I agree. Pervert that he is, Weiner was not afraid to confront conservatives whenever/wherever the occasion arose. He would go on Fox News and never be at a loss for words. He was a very effective spokesman for the left. He would make an argument for his side every time, and you cannot win an argument you don't make |

I don't know about any one else her, but when Gabby Giffords got shot in the head, while attempting to hold an outdoor town hall within her distirct, she was given time off to heal. That to me seems to be perfectly fine, she was shot by a pervert. Now we have a pervert that admits he is a pervert and he is getting the same courtesy as Rep Giffords, getting time off while being paid, for pervert training and we are paying for the training and his salary at the same time. Where is the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, on this issue, typical Boehner, he is speechless and playing golf with ZERO |

Reading between the lines... He may just be holding out to see if Clinton or others will help him out with a new career. |
