Rep. Anthony Weiner's case is getting worse and worse, because of an x-rated video of him now circulating on the Internet. Somehow, the news media has not physically picked up on it as yet, to show the gruesome images in the video; but it will not be too long before they (media) do just the same. What is holding them back is, perhaps, for their own good judgement and/or editorial sanity.
So, when is Rep. Weiner going to call it a day and give in to the enormous pressure that, in view of the adverse nature of his situation, he must resign forthwith?
Democratic leaders have come out in support of his ouster for the sake of the party. His own colleagues in Congress are calling for his resignation; and all kinds of polls are reflecting a majority opinion that he must step down to make things easy on himself, for his family and for all concerned citizens. Any other way to resolve the issue, apart from resigning, will not work to his benefit or to the benefit of anybody that is connected to him.
His wife, Huma Abedin, is reported to be pregnant, and he has every sensible reason to be considerate of her condition, as any slight emotional stress, mishap or setback will be far more disastrous to her. He must think of the consequences of such thing happening, in regard to her pregnancy; and also of the well being of her unborn baby.
He has lied consistently about his Facebook and Twitter contacts; and that alone is distasteful and he must be judged by those lies. In other words, he has literally led the public "by the nose" for several days, without good reason, and to top that attitude up with arrogance on his part will surely be unforgiven.
The title "Huge ego" appeared on a television program yesterday. Was that a coincidence? Many people would not doubt that it was.
Weiner has a huge ego, which he has no intention to let go. Yet, at the present moment, circumstances forbid him to hold on to it.
The more the debate continues, the more he will lose face with all peace loving people, including his Queens constituents; and with all New Yorkers per se.
Therefore, to save him from farther embarrassment, it will be proper for him to concede to the overwhelming pressure that is coming his way from all sources, public and private, to resign.
America is waiting, Mr. Anthony Weiner.
