Limp Weiner

Well, get it up, guy.

"Weiner steps down, ending three-week scandal; Online antics nip a political future in N.Y." by Raymond Hernandez, New York Times / June 17, 2011

NEW YORK — Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a once-promising politician whose Brooklyn roots and scrappy style made him a leading candidate to be the next mayor of New York, made the decision after long and emotional discussions with his political advisers and his wife, Huma Abedin, whom friends described as devastated by the behavior of her husband of 11 months and worried about the couple’s financial future.

I'm sure some job offers will be forthcoming.

In a chaotic four-minute news conference at a senior center in his district, Weiner, 46, strained to be heard as a small group of hecklers hollered vulgar questions at him and called him a “pervert’’ while puzzled elderly residents looked on.... 

WTF, Weiner?  Thought the old folk would insulate you? 

And where were you, where were you?

Weiner reached his decision late Wednesday and seemed at peace with it....   

Oh, that's good. Now I can sleep tonight. 

His wife is devastated but at least he's at peace.
