Same for Lee, Foley and Craig.
Sanford served out his term even though South Carolina started impeachment proceedings, Foley resigned in 2009 after several years of sending explict emails to male pages (he was a proponent of anti-gay legislation), Craig resigned in 2007 after being arrested in a bathroom soliciting sex, decades after questions about his behavior.

Plenty of examples on both sides, Barney Frank, Vitter, etc. The ethics committee is a joke.

To the porn star.

Wow Tony, blaming your staff for the mess you made?

What "team" is he talking about? If it's his congressional team, he is past done.
I give Weiner until Friday at the latest, no way does he come back from this.

Are you serious, this has nothing to do with being a prude. Maybe, you and Weiner are two peas in a pod!!

If he were a mensch, he would resign immediately and check himself into the Bellevue mental hospital to get the help he needs.

Anthony Weiner has single-handedly set the Jewish people back centuries with his exemplary of negative Jewish stereotypes. He's an embarrassment and a disgrace to Jews all over the world and if I had my way, he would be forced to resign not only from his Congressional seat, but also from his Judaism. I guarantee you he's fomented even more hatred of Jews and the United States among Muslims and I wouldn't be surprised if it will result in either an attack on the United States or an anti-Semitic attack somewhere in Europe. But alas, Anthony Weiner is but merely a Democrat, so his poor behavior will be excused by the Democrat establishment.
What a despicable hot load of steaming crap.

I'm a Jew and I don't feel the least bit "debased" by Weiner's actions. His actions reflect on himself ONLY. What the hell kind of retarded thinking makes one allege that the actions of one man represent the entirety of a religion. That's just utterly absurd.

You have to remember, the Left LOVED this guy, so to see their hero go up in flames is excruciating, especially since they went ALL IN in defending and even accusing innocent people of being hackers.

I think that's the thing that bugs me the most. He allowed his kook left supporters to attack, smear and accuse a political opponent of doing something Weiner KNEW all along the guy didn't do.

He thought there was a chance he could make it go away. It was his first day in Washington apparently.

Looks like they are all backing away, Harry Reid says "find someone else to talk to" so much for having his back.
Why would any one in his position risk it all. He was sending pics out to people he didn't even know. His poor wife, she must think he's some sick pervert. Not even married a year, just what made him think, he was God's Gift to Woman!!

Remember at first he was embarrassed Wonder if that was before or after, he told Bret Baier he couldn't say......... for sure it was him

I was amazed at how sure his wife wasn't upset. I mean after all, she thought he was a work. Probably didn't realize, with our country in a mess, he had so much personal time with his cell phone. "FIRE HIM"

I think Gennifer Flowers was saying the same thing back in the day; Hillary was bisexual/gay.

It's all over the internet that Wiener's marriage is a
sham and he and Huma married for appearance sake for when Wiener would run for Mayor of NY again, with support from Clinton, to further distract from Hillary/Huma love connection whispers that keep getting louder
(what a mouthful)

I guess we will just have to wait for the National
Enquirer or the Village Voice to break the story
