From the NY Times:Representative Anthony D. Weiner has told friends that he plans to resign his seat after coming under growing pressure from his Democratic colleagues to leave the House, said a person told of Mr. Weiner’s plans.
Mr. Weiner, a Democrat, came to the conclusion that he could no longer serve after having long discussions with his wife, Huma Abedin, when she returned home on Tuesday after traveling abroad with her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

gooooooooooood he should .
Rumor is that he'll be teaming up with Gov Spitzer on CNN. The show should be called "When good Jewish boys go bad".
I'm not suprised. He's another BUM from the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club from Brooklyn. He's just another disgraced pol from the Club where there is a culture of greed, & corruption, etc. ie : Senator Carl Kruger & the list can go on. & on...
Uh oh! I hope that attention is not going to be focused on me now. I'd be worried about an ethics investigation if I had any...
Now watch the musical chairs... Joe "the Sellout" Addabbo will run for Weiner's congressional seat (like his father) and Lizzy "I'm too Dizzy" Crowley will run for Addabbo's senate seat. Sickening thought but this is already in the works.
What would be the point of that if they eliminate the district?
This is a classic case of "THE ONE WHO SCREAMS LOUDEST HAS THE MOST TOO HIDE"
LIU FOR MAYOR 2013
Liu for Mayor?
You must be an idiot. That clown is a disgrace.
Exactly the point, Crapper. Who would want to run for a seat that won't exist in another year and a half?
He got a deal with a good low effort job in a law firm, and will be back in the media within 6 months cause the pols know that the public forgot what they had for dinner last Thursday.
The boys take care of their own.
unfortunately for the district, the usual party hacks have been mentioned as replacement and will likely be shoo-ins: Weprin, Melinda Katz, Lancman, Gioa, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Peter Koo beats John Liu anyday!
His seat will be a cat fight between Heidi Chain and Melinda Katz. Oh vey!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person!
Look at the idiocy that this man used to end his career. Young people out there take note: If you post it online you can NEVER take it back. I'm happy he resigned the man brings shame upon us all. Long live Queens Crapper! Long live Israel! Death to the toxic Palestinians!
is a job in the boro presidents office likely?
How 'bout floor mopper at Show World on 8th Avenue?
How about president of the 112 Precinct Community Council? Now THAT would be a cat fight!
Peter Koo beats John Liu anyday!

Wha? I like it that way!

Where can I apply?
Lui for Mayor !!!! Stop smoking that Crack !!!!!
No one mentioned Lanceman?
Lanceman is making moves, has been since this whole thing started. Watch for him soon.
Look to the future: Who will be picked by the Dem leaders to be anointed to NY-9? Will NY-9 be the district to be eliminated in the redistricting or will its neighbor NY-12 be picked?
Al centola for Northeast Queens!!! Write in vote for the next council election, or maybe Senate? Whichever position , he would bring back honor and integrity to politics today. He calls it like it is, and owes no special interest anything. A regular guy. Al centola write in vote next election cycle. That is if we cant convince him to run outright.
Good riddance - next up Rep Walter Crowley.
I hate to break the news to you, but Walter Crowley can't come up since he's dead. If he does come up, let the guys who produce "The Walking Dead" know about it.
Anon No. 25:
NY-9 is gone. No incumbent to deal with now. Whoever gets elected to replace Weiner will be a caretaker for the next year and a half.

No, not Queens BP! that slot is reserved for Grodenchick.
Peter Koo beats John Liu anyday!
NO WAYYYYYYYYY liu is top chink by far
On NPR they called Weiner a 'liberal darling" which I - as a liberal - can assure you he is NOT.
However, he has at times sided with the people against the trillionaires who have hijacked the government - and for this he (like Spitzer) was the target of a hit job carried out by the lackey media at the behest of their corporatist masters.
If I saw more Republicans being hounded out of office like this, I would not have a problem with all of this, yet there are Republicans who have done much worse (including of a 'scandalous' sexual nature) who the media has gone easy on.
People should wake up and take a look on WHO the mainstream media is choosing to target and realize that something has to be done about the media. The FCC revoking the license of FOX news would be a good start.
"The FCC revoking the license of FOX news would be a good start."
Hitler would have agreed.
No one mentioned Lanceman?
Does he have a weiner?
"pervert weiner and "socks" spitzer were targets of hitman media"
you are really nuts!!!!
weiner clicked the button on his blackberry and exposed his naked body to the world, all by his sick self.
spitzers ,client #9, sex trips were exposed because he was a dummy,elitist,who was a fraud.
do you mean "lackey media" like the Washinton Post & NY Times who just scrutinized thousands of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's E-mails. AND QUIETLY DROPPED IT WHEN NOTHING NEGATIVE WAS FOUND IN THEM.
to believe that the weiner/schumer new york lefties are not liberal is sick.sick,sick.
