Congressman Weiner Forced To Resign

Sadly, a great crusader for the rights of the average American, Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), has resigned due to pressure not only from Republicans but from his own party as well. Journalists have accused the Democrats of disloyalty and of playing into the hands of the conservatives.  They maintain that Weiner's acts were insignificant when compared to those of Republican Senators Vitter and Ensign. In response, the Democratc leadership has released this official statement.  "This has been a big distraction from the issues and it is clear from all of these cases that what may start out as a small matter in today's political climate can reach mammoth proportions very quickly. Just to be sure, we will not be satisfied until we have reviewed the salacious e-mail images over and over and over again."
