    Weiner is apparently worried about money if he resigns.

    Quote:

    Weiner has also complained to friends that he wasn’t sure how he would make a living if he were to leave Congress and its $174,000 annual salary. “He’s worried about money and how to pay his bills,” said a Democratic insider. “He’s very concerned about that.”
    I reckon he should have worried abut that before he got camera happy.

    What ? He's been in Congress for over a decade... he must've accumulated a lot of pork rinds by now . Between him and his wife's income he falls into that rich category as defined by the President. He should be part of that group of millionaires that want to give away their money to the IRS .

    Apparently it takes a lot of American Express to stalk women, and he's never had a real job.

    If he steps down, he could grovel to cable TV execs for talking-head "analyst" gigs that hopefully pay more than the $825 he gets for appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."

    But with Weiner's reputation in ruins, other lucrative jobs may be hard to get.
    Naaahh ,all he has to do is give a call to CNN.

    Wouldn't that be great? Weiner seems a much more appropriate sidekick than Kathleen Parker.

    Hello again,

    As much as I support Weiners politics, I don't support HIM as a politician. It's time for him to resign.

    That goes without saying Ex but obviously from his actions he is not an honourable man

    And until such time he should be stripped of any committee assignment .

    NY doesn't have recall so that's off the table . Not sure his district would do that anyway. Last poll I saw ;even with this scandal ,he'd win a reelection.

    If he refuses to resign the House should invoke Article 1 Sec 5 of the Constitution.

    It is being reported at various sites that the Dems are reassigning the Representative's office personel . If he shows up for work today he may have no staff.

    If he shows up for work today chances are his license plates are expired, and maybe not even on the right vehicle. Seems the Weiner man has failed to love his state enough to pay his registration fees for the past several years, and even borrowed some from another vehicle.

    Rep. Anthony Weiner's Nissan Pathfinder is unregistered, DMV says

    Quote:

    "Lying about sexting apparently isn't Rep. Anthony Weiner's only gray area.

    When Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) was photographed by the Daily News fleeing the Capitol in his Nissan Pathfinder, it was clear the July 2007 registration sticker in his window was expired, and there was no inspection sticker to be seen. Weiner, through a staffer, said the 1988 Nissan Pathfinder was registered in New York State.

    Not so, said the state Department of Motor Vehicles.

    The New York license plate bolted on Weiner's Pathfinder - US Congress 9 - had expired as of 2006, according to the DMV.

    "That license plate should not be on a car," a DMV spokeswoman said. It wasn't even issued to the Pathfinder, but to another one of Weiner's cars, a Honda, according to vehicle records.

    Valid plates were issued to Weiner's Pathfinder, but they don't have the helpful words "US Congress" on them, and so look less official. It's unclear what happened to those plates.

    Driving a car with expired plates, let alone those pulled off another vehicle, meant Weiner's Pathfinder was unregistered, according to the DMV.

    "Switching around license plates is what criminals do," noted a retired Brooklyn accident investigator. "If you are a congressman, you aren't supposed to be switching out your plates. I guess that's the least of his worries."
    What a guy.
