Stick a Fork in Him -- That Weiner's Done

Congressman Anthony Weiner finally resigned. Finally.

He went from lying about his Twitter account being hacked (He had to know the folks at Twitter were going to try to prove him wrong, since they have a professional reputation to uphold), to defiantly stating he would not resign, to seeking treatment (Don't they all "seek treatment" when they screw up and they're in the public eye?), to wanting to consult with his pregnant wife to finally giving up the ghost.

An honorable man would have admitted his wrongdoing early on, resigned, and tried desperately to save his marriage, not his career.

That's what gets me about these unfaithful politicians -- they still think they can have it all, just like they had been having it all before they got caught. And they desperately try to hang on to having it all, even invoking consulting their wives as an excuse to avoid the inevitable death spiral from grace.

Even BMNB got annoyed at Weiner's refusal to step down, saying, "If Weiner had any balls, he'd just resign and stop hiding behind his pregnant wife. He didn't consult his pregnant wife when he was sending all those Tweets, now did he?"

Word.

Stick a fork in him -- that Weiner's done. Finally.
