Heheheheh..... I couldn't have phrased it better myself! I knew Weiner would resign, particularly when more and more embarrassing photos surfaced and people came forward. When even Barack Obama himself said Weiner should step down, you knew his days were numbered.

Well, as they say: "If the shoe fits..."

Ironically, it would appear that a sizeable number of voters would have re-elected him at the next election. He really did do a lot for the people he represented. But still, when your own party feels you are nothing but a liability, his fate was sealed. Also, a lot of analysts feel the worst thing Weiner did was pile lie upon lie in the days when the story first broke. Some feel that if he had been truthful from the beginning, he just might have been able to survive this. Personally, I'm not so sure. The whole thing just snowballed out of control, and Weiner did the only thing he could do - that is, other than hara-kiri.

Talk about self-destruction.
