Boehner piles on Weiner

[n2doc]

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday joined President Barack Obama and a chorus of other Democrats in suggesting that Rep. Anthony Weiner resign, while a member of Weiner's New York congressional delegation said she expects him to quit soon.

Boehner, who until now has let Democrats wrestle with Weiner's sexually charged messages and photos to several women, responded with a one-word answer when reporters asked whether Weiner should quit.

"Yes," he responded.

Earlier, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., told reporters, "Hopefully, we are hearing he might resign in a couple of days." She did not say how she learned that Weiner may soon buckle under the pressure.

Weiner is seeking professional help at an undisclosed location. His wife, State Department official Huma Abedin, is due back from an overseas trip early Wednesday.

1. Boehner has absolutely NO credibility for me whatsoever

on this "issue" or any others for which he is (supposed to be) responsible for. :puke:

[SpiralHawk]

2. So Boehner also wants Vitter (R) to drop his diapers and quit as well?

I mean, he is going to be fair about this, isn't he?

Or is there a special Republicon Diaper exemption?

3. Suddenly it's become a real sausage fest around here

n/t

4. As long as his constituents want him to stay, he should stay...

This is getting ridiculous. This is the longest running weiner joke ever.

5. Unethical? Adults talking sex to other adults is unethical?

[TheWraith]

9. Sending unwanted lewd photos to random young women is.

So probably is talking about arranging sexual interludes with other women when you're busy being married.

6. In any other circumstance that title would earn a thread lock. n/t

8. hey Boeher, have a drink. And another. and another. and another

and another. and another. and another.
Want something to talk about? How about Boehner (#3 in line for the nuclear football) and his drinking.
This scares me - seriously.

10. Says the tramp that sleeps with lobbyists

He really ought to back off, someone on the left is going to play this game and expose him or one of his own for doing much worse than Weiner. Revenge can be very heavy handed.

12. Two words, Boner, Lisbeth Lyons.
