Weiner Weiner Weiner

It is just fun to repeat his name . . . I don't know what needs to be said about this unfortunate tale of woe, but it does raise a few questions:

1. Are these lawmakers so bored by their jobs that they must resort to taking pictures of the front of their briefs and emailing them to college kids? Is it something about Washington, or the job of lawmaker that makes otherwise ordinary people do the kind of things that Congresspeople get caught doing? Or, is it possible that only really horny people get elected to Congress? Can someone shed some light on this?

2. Why did Rep. Weiner NOT resign yesterday during his press conference? Does he really think he is electable? As they say on SNL . . . REALLY? REALLY, Anthony? The Dem leadership is planning to skewer him royally (to the extent he has not skewered himself completely already) because they have no use for him now. And, he could cost the Dems big time if he sticks around through the 2012 elections. Imagine how much fun it will be to GOP pundits to tar and feather the entire Dem Party with images of Weiner's weiner.

3. Does he resign Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of this week? My money is on Friday because he probably figures it will get the least amount of press if he does that. Plus he gets another 3 days of using the House gym and all those free stamps.

For those of you who, in response to this posting, say "give the guy a break" or "come on, don't kick a guy when he's down", I say, the man should have done the honorable thing and resigned yesterday. He is belittling the electorate by insisting on running for re-election. Until he does the right thing, he has left himself open to this kind of criticism.
