Weiner Cannot Financially Afford To Step Down

The NY Post is reporting that the oscar-meyer weiner cannot financially afford to step down. The paper reports that he has nothing to fall back on – it seems a shame he didn’t wait to amass ill-gotten gains before being exposed (pun intended). He doesn’t have a business and it’s unlikely he would be picked up on the major networks to do talking-head work albeit sorted behavior didn’t prevent elliott spitzer from getting a gig w/ cnn, but then again it is cnn and leaving no sewer unprospected for the dregs of society to host programs is something they are very adept at. But I would be surprised if it mattered. Personally I don’t think he will be forced to step down. First of all the latest polling shows 56% of his district doesn’t want him to. There’s nothing that can be said that you haven’t already thought pursuant to that factoid. But more importantly the party hierarchy doesn’t seem interested in having him step down. If he was a reliable vote before think what he will be now. We mock republicans for throwing their members under the bus (at least after they’ve been caught) for the least infraction – but it seems if you rule out ted kennedy, nothing short of murder invites them to show their members the door. After all, if they didn’t turn on a serial grouper, philanderer, liar, accused rapist, abuser of young women as their president, they’ll support anything, and obviously they do.
