Congressmember Anthony Weiner must resign Now!
The Congress reconvened this week – without the representative from the 9th District – Weiner, who has fled the attention cast upon his lewd and perverted life for "rehab."
We said Weiner was "SEX SICK" last week. As the never ending stream of revelations and compromising photos taken semi-nude in dubious and off-limits areas like the House gym streamed into the weekend newspapers, we knew it is finally over for another political pervert.
Competing groups supporting Wiener and calling for his resignation faced off over the weekend in front of his Forest Hills office. TV reporters followed the embattled legislator around on mundane errands like taking in the dry cleaning.
Barraged with the question "Will you resign?" he emphatically said "No."
All weekend long the list of prominent Democrats calling for Weiner’s head grew and became quiet vocal. Those who days ago just shook their heads and declined to comment were now unabashedly calling for him to step down.
He was at one time a scofflaw with over $2,000 in parking tickets. He paid the price of the tickets and fines in that case.
Weiner is stealing the representation from his constituency and the paycheck that goes with it. For all his lies and sexual indiscretions and his use of social media to his own sick designs, we are disappointed that he has slipped away into rehabilitation someplace without paying the price for his deeds.
We say the price is his job. Resign now!
