Rep. Anthony Weiner resigns
I guess it was to be expected. Weiner has taken responsibility and resigned his post:
Embattled New York Rep. Anthony Weiner quit this afternoon, three weeks after the scandal about his Twitter pictures exploded.Interestingly enough, his wife may be Muslim, and a not too common case of a Muslim marrying a non-Muslim, and a Jew! Yep, Weiner is Jewish, and sadly, a poor example-setter with his antics online. I'm glad he's on his way out.
The humiliated New York congressman took the stage in his Brooklyn office at 2.21 p.m. to announce the end of his 20-year political career. His news conference was over within four minutes. The fiery left-wing Democrat walked away without answering any questions.
His pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, who had returned yesterday from an overseas trip with her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was noticeably absent. She was spotted entering the couple’s home in the New York borough of Queens shortly before her husband made his announcement.
“I apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused to my neighbors, my constituents and particularly to my wife, Huma,” Weiner said.
