NYP, NYT* and Daily News Call on Weiner to Resign
Let us declare with certitude the obvious: Rep. Anthony Weiner has disgraced his office, and himself, and he needs to quit. Never mind that he went before the TV cameras yesterday, cried on cue and assumed "responsibility" for a litany of offenses to common decency -- including sending lewd messages and revealing photos to young women on Twitter, and then lying about it. Repeatedly and egregiously. Because there is a difference between taking rhetorical responsibility for what one has done, and accepting the full consequences of those actions -- which in Weiner's case would require his resignation.
