Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) will leave Congress temporarily to tend to his personal life, a spokeswoman for the Congressman, Risa Heller told TPM on Saturday. The move falls short of a resignation, which Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and a group of top Democratic officials publicly demanded earlier the same day."The Betty Ford Clinic for Jerks"? There is such a thing?
"Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person," the statement reads.
Weiner is not "sick". He's an asshole. He's the stereotypical egomanical power-mad douchebag that seems to get into politics, probably because he, like legions of male politicians before him, got into politics so they could wet their wands more often.
Having said that, being a disgusting asshole isn't a crime. Until one is proven, or they can find an ethical violation to hang him on, whether Weiner should stay or go is best left to the voters of his district. After all, the voters in Louisiana have reelected Diaper Dave Vitter.
