Amid shouts of "Pervert!" and "Are you more than 7 inches" Rep. Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress today. Thanking his parents for the values they instilled in him, he apologized and stepped down. Obviously, this was hard on all concerned, but he maintained a stiff upper lip.
Weiner, dogged by his party for weeks, finally gave it up, rather than limp along. While officially a resignation, it is clear that he was sacked by his party, where he was a growing member.
