Washington (CNN) -- Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York plans to resign from Congress in the wake of a "sexting" scandal with several women and lies he repeatedly told about it, a Democratic source with knowledge of the congressman's plans said Thursday.
Weiner, 46, was considered a possible front-runner to succeed New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2013 until the revelation of his online communications, including lewd photos of himself he sent to women he befriended on Facebook and Twitter.
OK...so...heres the thing. Ladies...gay guys...Look...Im man enough to be able to look at some men and think..."huh...OK...thats a good lookin man. I can see what people would find attractive there..."
But...some guys...I just dont get it...
Case in point...
Now...I dont know...its probably me...but...really???
He was a useful force in office, too bad he ended up being such a dick.
Agreed. Sad that he did something so stupid and foolish as he was an effective congressman. Resigining is the right this to do, IMO.
So Vitter is next? oh snap...
Wait...did I miss where Vitter lied about it ...
Apparently. He denied using prostitutes and such as early as 2002 when allegations of this were made public during his failed run for governor in which he later dropped out of the race. He denied those charges which turned out to be completely true. He didn't admit to his frequent use of prostitutes in both new orleans and D.C. until 2007.
Mind you, I'm not saying he's evil for doing so, just pointing out that he did in fact lie.
Also, you pointed out that Wiener "encouraged criminal activity", what do you think hiring prostitutes is? That means he was actively involved in criminal activity.
I don't know anything regarding the solicitation of minors thing, I haven't really researched the details of Wieners case after the initial underwear shot, but regardless, you're essentially saying that these are two different cases because one is a JonaGold apple and one is a Braeburn Apple. They're still both apples. Dirty, filthy apples.
Wait...did I miss where Vitter lied about it and accused others of a crime? Did I miss where Vitter encouraged others to lie? Did I miss where Vitter was sexting with minors? Cuz...if he did those things...hell yes...he should have resigned. its the only reason for Weiner to resign...not because he was sending pictures of his junk to another consenting adult...thats just idiotic behavior. But the encouragement of criminal activity and slander? And solicitation of minors? Yeah...thems resignation offenses.
He would definitely have a chance. Vitter ****ed prostitutes and liked to wear diapers during sex apparently and was still re-elected, not to mention Rangel was reelected after his myriad of ethics violations.
There is a difference between saying uh-uh...I didnt do it and saying someone hacked my federal computer and we know who it was. Good point though about paying for prostitutes. OK...you want to call it apples to apples...fine...but for the record, I didnt fault Clinton for denying the affairs...just for lying about it under oath.
Anthony Wiener did not commit a crime... Vitter did... unless prostitution is legal in DC now...
I agree with you. Wiener lied about the hacking and that is worse than someone just denying it. But in the end there both guys that wanted to look at/touch/ sleep with women that aren't their wives without getting in trouble for it. Just because one of them had to make up a story in order to lie about it doesn't mean , to me, that he is any worse at decision making than the other guy.
Weiner to resign after sexting scandal, source says - CNN.com
The Weiner is cooked.
What will be his next career? DNC chair?
That remains to be seen. Accusing an individual of hacking a federal computer and vowing to have your private investigator expose the cuplrit certainly smacks of at least a civil crime. Sexting a minor is certainly a crime. Still...Ive ceded the point re prostitution.
I dont care that Weiner is a disgusting little pervert that gets off on posting his weiner around the globe. I said from day one if it is just about him cybercheating on his wife then who gives a ****...its between him and her. But when it comes to lying about it, encouraging others to lie about it, accusing others when you know damn good and well you are the guilty little pervert, and now the prospect of lewd and indecent contact with a minor...yep...thats the ticket.
