Weiner's pulling out -- for a little while, at least.
Serial-sexting Congressman Anthony Weiner headed off to rehab and will seek a leave of absence, as Nancy Pelosi and other Dems demanded he quit following his admission to sending private Twitter messages to a 17-year-old girl.
Weiner's office said the randy rep left this morning for "professional treatment," and will take a leave of absence from the House as he tries to become a better family man.
“Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person,” Weiner’s office said in a statement. “In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well.
This is an amazing journey if you ask me. Once again, a liberal democrat is caught up in a sex scandal and once again the democrats close ranks and look for an out.
Nancy Pelosi voiced her displeasure initially, but stopped short of calling for a resignation. now of course, since the allegations of sexting a seventeen year old girl have surfaced, Pelosi has changed course and stated that he should resign.
Mean while, Charlie Rangle sees no problem with the entire affair citing after all 'it wasn't like he was going out with little boys.' So is that the standard Charlie? I mean really. The homosexual lobbies might have something to say about that.
So for now, it looks like Weiner will take the path most desired by all liberals. He will dive into rehab and reemerge at some point a cured man. And after all, as many liberals have already declared, his tenure as a New York congressman should be decided by his constituents.
After all, it is the republicans who attempt to claim the moral high ground, therefore, the liberal democrats have nothing to be ashamed of.
