Speculation is starting to rise that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) will soon succumb to intense pressure to step down from his congressional seat as a result of his recent sexting scandal that has dominated the opinion and political media landscape over since the story broke on Memorial Day weekend. The most recent public official that is ostensibly calling for his resignation is President Obama, who told NBC’s Ann Curry that if it were him, he would resign. This follows similar comments made last week by Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

The report by NY1 cites fellow New York congressional Democrat Carolyn McCarthy who appears to have told NY1 that she was hearing that he might resin soon. According to NY News:

House Democrats are meeting today to discuss Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal as new speculation from within the New York delegation suggests a resignation may be coming soon.

Long Island Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy said today that she was hearing he might resign in “a couple of days.”

She did not say where she got that information from.

Meantime, House Speaker John Boehner — who has stayed out of the debate over Weiner’s future — is the latest high ranking politician to weigh-in on Weiner’s future.

When asked by reporters today if he thought the congressman should resign, Boehner answered “yes.”

Watch the report from NY1 below:

Well he always has his Law degree he can find work with.

No? Well Im sure he’s held some other job besides being a politician that he can fall back on.

No again? Jeez no wonder he doesnt want to quit.

By the way, look at this article, dated Feb 11, 2009:

“NY Congressman Hot For Foreign Models”

A New York congressman has introduced a bill that would create 1,000 new visa slots for foreign fashion models. Democrat Anthony Weiner said the measure would boost New York’s fashion industry.

He can always get a job at Hebrew National Hot Dogs as a spokesman!

Seriously I hope he hangs in there and becomes the poster boy of the Democratic party! They need him.

Attn Rep Weiner:

Democrats everywhere hate you.

Please stay in congress until you are voted out by the degenerates of Brooklyn.

Haha

“NY1 Report Suggests Rep. Anthony Weiner Might Resign In A Couple Of Days”

Oh, NO, NO, NO, No… say it ain’t true !!!!!

The Weiner has become the poster-boy for the moral, ethical, social and political depravity of the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists.

The Weiner is the face of what passes for “family values” amongst d-cRAT socialists, and he is the epitome of the d-cRAT socialists’ culture of erection and corruption. (Thanks, Rush)

Please, please let The Weiner stay in office until the Nov 2012 elections so we can all keep The Weiner and his disgusting, revolting and despicable actions in mind as we vote to further TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

Sounds like a job only Super Weiner in his Super Weiner Speedos can handle!

It’s been rumored(not verified at this time) that he may have a deal in the works with the porn industry, which will give him a bigger paycheck and possibly real sex. “weinergate the movie” in porn shops and iphones near you soon….

A rabid leftist attack dog like Anthony Weiner should have a bright future at MSNBC, the home of rabid leftists.

I don’t know. I’m really looking forward to “In The Arena with Spitzer and Weiner.” Mostly to see the look on ED Hill’s face.
AlexRadcliffe

Yeah, as much as I was happy to see this story two weeks ago, and as someone who’s been yelling at Weiner everytime he’s been on CNN and MSNBC for the past few months, I hope he just gets this over with and resigns.

Why have the last few days been such slow news days? WHY DON’T WE KNOW WHAT SARAH PALIN IS DOING???

Any word on Vitter resigning in a few days? Not that I’ve heard any Republican calling for him to do so.

@ Royal

That’s ironic. You’ve said pretty much the same (and more)about yourself… yet, where is the evidence of that?

Bottom line, not sure you’re the guy to be complaining about this.

Problem is, where else can a sociopath get work? Maybe he can go to work for Soros, he likes sociopaths.

Maybe CNN?

Now I’m sure the Dems don’t want Their Weiner in a pissing contest with the President.

- and he was such a good fighter for the Progressive Left!

How’s the view from under that bus, Anthony?

LMAO!!!!

Things are starting to get really hard for Rep. Anthony Weiner. See why in “A Day in the Life of Anthony Weiner” on The Loop Now.com. It’s mostly fiction, except for all of the REALLY embarrassing stuff.

Or they could call it the Weinerspitzer Show.
Dem4Ever

NOOOOOOOO!!!

Weiner, you stay and fight. We don’t want you to quit. You are the true face of the Democratic party and you need to let that face shine!

You tell Pelosi and Reid that you’ll resign ONLY after they have. Take your Barbara Walters approved cajones in hand and with the mirrors of the media surrounding you, stand your ground…LOL

Anthony Weiner needs to leave congress ASAP. He has disappointed me greatly.

But lets not forget this:
John 8
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]

Teabaggers only support the Bible when it is convenient for their agenda. You could cut their hate with a knife.

lol – too cute. You make up a derogatory name for the tea party and then you have the balls to talk about the hate from the right. Right…….. somehow I see a disconnect – could just be me.

Support the bible – you mean try to live our lives respecting all people, not just the ones we agree with? Right….. you don’t have to because you don’t support the bible.

p.s. exactly what does “support the bible” mean? Haven’t heard that term bandied about, but I’m sure you can explain.
Prom Night Dumpster Baby

I still can’t believe this actually happened. It’s like something that would happen in a comedy.

In any event, he’s essentially a cartoon in the public mind now, and will forever be a reference and parodied forever. I can’t imagine anyone being able to govern ably with that hanging over their head. So he should quit.

And get some help.
