LIVE VIDEO: Rep. Anthony Weiner To Resign Congressional Seat
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is apparently set to resign his congressional seat after a scandal-plagued last three weeks proved to be too much for him. His wife, assistant to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Huma Abedin, returned to America from an extended diplomatic trip abroad. After consulting with her, Weiner has informed friends and fellow members of Congress that he will resign his seat.
The press conference was scheduled for 2pm. As of the time of this update, 2:20pm, it still has not yet begun.
This will surely be a dramatic press conference.

UPDATE: The press conference lasted approximately five minutes, a far shorter and less dramatic affair than the many times during the first ten days of the scandal when he parried with reporters at length and ad nauseum in Washington, or the pathetic mea culpa in which he finally admitted to guilt in the whole matter.
Aside from monitoring the health of the relationship between Weiner and his wife, one more item on the Starcasm agenda remains concerning this sordid scandal, and that is the press conference featuring Ginger Lee and Gloria Allred. Allegations were made against Weiner that were highly sensational, and Starcasm has been confidentially informed that all may not be as it seems in Ginger’s world as a truthteller. We’ll have the full story later this evening.
