Rep. Weiner to resign over sexting scandal

[Udog]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sources tell The Associated Press that embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner is telling associates he will resign amid the furor over his sexually charged online relationships with several women.

The married seven-term New York Democrat's resignation would end a once-promising career as a leading liberal voice.

Weiner became embroiled in a scandal over lewd photos and messages sent online to at least six women. During a tearful news conference recently he admitted he had told a series of lies to cover up his bad behavior.

Top Democrats had called for a House ethics probe to see if Weiner had broken any rules, including whether he may have abused his congressional office.

I really think we should return to the days when a person who holds the public trust and behaves like Weiner would just have been taken to the center of town and hanged.

The bright side of this is that he can now do what he wants with his "weiner" without having to explain it to anyone other than perhaps one of the young ladies who has questions about it and how it peforms and what guarantees come with it. lol

Whatever happened to "Herbie?" I would think he might have some appropriate comments for this thread.
