Weiner resigns

Anthony Weiner has resigned. The congressman caught in a scandal announced his intention to congress Thursday.

Initially, he admitted sending explicit text messages and photos to various women. He refused to step down. However, a new x-rated photo of him was leaked last Wednesday. That seems to have been the final straw.

Two days before, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called for an ethics investigation. After the new photo was released, Pelosi argued that the investigation would take over a year and be expensive. She says he made the right decision in resigning.
