NYTimes: Weiner planning to check into a treatment center
Edited on Sat Jun-11-11 03:09 PM by pnwmom
Pelosi calls on him to resign.

The House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, on Saturday called on Representative Anthony D. Weiner to resign, underscoring the growing concern among Democrats that his online exchanges with women had become a distraction for the party.
Representative Steve J. Israel, Democrat of New York, also called on Mr. Weiner to step down, saying that he clearly needed to seek treatment for “inappropriate behavior.â€
“I pray for his family and hope that Anthony will take time to get the help he needs without the distractions and added pressures of Washington,†Mr. Israel said.
At the same time, two senior Democratic officials said on Saturday that Mr. Weiner was planning to check himself into a treatment center.

Weiner has informed congressional leaders he plans to seek treatment, according to Democratic insiders, and that was a factor in their decision to urge him to resign, first privately and later publicly.
A “coordinated effort was kicked off once Weiner decided to seek treatment,†a senior Democratic aide told POLITICO. “Leaders have been talking to him all week. His decision to seek treatment, on top of pressure of Sunday shows and members coming back on Monday, all equaled the ultimate decision for the leaders to go today.â€

5. Good move. So it becomes a disability, not a weird perversion.

26. Sounds like a pathetic attempt to calm the angry mob and hope it all just blows over..
It also sounds like Pelosi and gang are not buying it.

30. For what? Stupidity is not a sickness.
Send him to an internet comprehension class. Day One:"Anthony, you do not have your own private internet. Everything you do online can be seen by millions of other people." Day Two:"Anthony, this is what happens when you put nekid pitchers of yerself online (hold up photo of Christopher Lee)." Day Three...
I am having a hard time keeping up with Pelosi's position on Weiner. I though she wanted him to stand firm, now she wants him to pull out? :thatsright:

Yep. That's as it stands now.
frank don't you think that AW's decision to go into therapy might be a little premature?

You know, I always thought there was something most peculiar about the timing of this.
It's probably a coincidence, but it's most peculiar.
On one day, franksolich announces to the whole world there is in fact a, uh, picture of franksolich on the internet.
And then three days later this Weiner thing comes out.
So you think AW was stalking you too?! OMGosh!
So you think AW was stalking you too?! OMGosh!Maybe we've discovered the mystery hacker.
Maybe we've discovered the mystery hacker.
And maybe it's coach in that infamous photo.
Another one; remember the House banking scandal of the 1990s?That's scary. So, like, if franksolich were ever to use a pressure cooker on a gas stove, it could be a precursor to nuclear war.
One day franksolich got an overdraft notice from his bank in Lincoln (check was paid, my credit was good).
Then three days later the scandal broke about Democrat congressmen having big overdrafts at the House bank.
That's scary. So, like, if franksolich were ever to use a pressure cooker on a gas stove, it could be a precursor to nuclear war.
The cat looks like it's trying to hide.(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1178/1396214591_8732cbcb9b.jpg)
I don't blame it.
So Frank, should we all be hoping for ever so tiny misfortunes to happen to you so that larger ones befall the leftists??Maybe he'll stub his toe and that old bastard Reid will have a heart attack. :whistling:
:tongue:
