No Cause For Alarm In NY Rep. Posting, Lying About Lewd Pictures On Internet?

As even more of his fellow Washington Democrats join Republican calls for disgraced U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) resignation, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) apparently disagrees, and is remaining silent on his friend’s lewd online behavior.

So far, according to Politico, a growing list of top Democrats – including former DNC Chairmen Tim Kaine and Ed Rendell, U.S. Senators Pat Leahy (D-VT) and Mark Pryor (D-AR), and U.S. Reps. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA), Mike Ross (D-AR), Larry Kissell (D-NC), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Niki Tsongas (D-MA), Michael Michaud (D-ME) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN) – are all calling for Weiner to resign.  But not Menendez, who remains the only sitting U.S. Senator currently under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Does Bob Menendez agree with this growing chorus of his fellow Democrats that it’s time for Anthony Weiner to go, or does he continue to stand by his friend despite this lewd behavior?” asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond.
