No More Free Money From InTrade: Weiner Stepping Down
A week ago when we discussed the absolutely guaranteed resignation of Anthony Weiner, we noted the "free money offer from InTrade" which had the Weiner resignation by September 30 contract at $7.50 or at a 75% probability (yes, we were off in our prediction for Weiner's D-Day by 2 days). The free money arb is now gone, following an announcement from NYT that Weiner has just told his friends he will resign. As of this moment the Intrade contract is up to $9.70. To anyone who picked up the 30% return in five days, or roughly 2,200% annualized, congratulations.

At least he has a hobby to keep himself busy now that he has more time on his hands.

Having something on his hands was the whole problem in the first place! He doesn't probably need more of it!
Anyone just watch that flash crash five minutes ago?
It was across the board....
He'll land in some think tank or philanthropy/politcal operation, the Clintons made sure of that.
Weiner Likes Pussy!
He likes thinking about Pussy!
He likes playing with his weiner when he thinks about Pussy!
well then! everyone who does not play with their weiner should talk.. all others should "Shut The Fuck Up!"
It is not like he was spending church monies on male prostitutes and meth!
For the life of me I can't understand why Rep Weiner resigned??????? All he had to do was change his first and middle name to Oscar Meyer. Then everyone would be in love with him.
And yes, I am hanging my head in shame for posting that.
Before your reply, you could have always edited.
Now, you can't edit either!
Wiener's new ride: http://www.reedberry.com/wienermobile.html
Weiner pulling out...
Now that was funny.
He "stuck it out" as long as he could!
Weiner yanked himself, huh?
One Weiner down, 433 to go..
We'll keep Ron Paul.
A government official whose erect dick has been seen by the entire world can't be taken seriously anymore.
The deal was in when Pelosi asked him to resign. Congrats to all who bought the contract.
Hey Hamy, how you like the 30% return on Greek 2 yr?
There are government officials who can be taken seriously?
Us NY'ers are now Weinerless.
its just a soft patch
Albany can now receive him with open arms
Any bets on his new job yet? I'm predicting Israeli street whore, seeing as he's got a lot of experience in that field already.
I say Bill Clinton's chief of staff.
You know, the whole "wolves run in packs" thingy. Not to mention the irony of it all.

His wife is a sell out whore too.
Yeah, she's working for the man.

He was a shooting star.......but he couldn't keep it up forever.
Are you kidding me. I will wager that there was some major negotiations regarding job guarantees and severance. He was sucking all the air out of the Democratic machine. They would pay him anything to go away.

OK, what is Weiner guilty of? Being a straight horny white guy? If he was gay I can guarantee you there whole story would have been a non-starter. I really love all the hypo- crypts out there condemning him summarily for having a sex drive. As for Twitter and Facebook, I quit those accounts a while ago because thats like going to a gay bar with your pants down. Of course, the governments LOVES these 2. Ever wonder why Zuckerberg gets invited to the White House so often...?
In the words of Cindy Lauper.....ain't no laws against it yet.
it has more to do with his actions raising risk of blackmail for votes or classified information, etc. etc. it was also about his lying, and then going one step further and placing the blame on his politcal enemies. oh, and being incredibly deceitful to the public over and over again when there was no need to do so. character matters to some. i don't buy the everybody does it line....no they don't, and if they do, send them packing also.
He was caught off guard by all the hoopla about what in essence is his private shit, but he screwed up by not simply saying "Yes, thats me, so what, and now go f... off"
He was caught off guard by being so fucking stupid to think that sending nude pictures of himself to some person who may be a hot chick, but also might be a 58 year old truck driver or James O'Keefe was "private shit." If that's the kind of stupidity you're ok with in a congressman then he should stay. Not that half of the rest of them aren't just as stupid in their own special ways.
If that's the type of stupidity he engages "in private," do I really want him voting on economic bills? Or the Patriot Act? Or bank bailouts? If you aren't smart enough to run your private life in such a way your reputation is secure, do I really want you voting on bills that affect me and my loved ones?
Hmm let's see I can read the revisions of the Patriot Act or I can whack off for 4 hours watching Youporn. Patriot Act? Youporn? Patriot Act? Youporn? Oooor I know I could send pictures of my cock to girls over the internet."
The guy isn't even smart enough to take my order at the Burger King drive through.
The fact that you can't differentiate between a sex drive and a pervert says much about you.
"There was once a clueless moron from Nantucket"........
You should talk to a couple of hookers that work DC. You wanna hear perverted? You really think the other guys on capitol hill are any better? Remember Clinton and the 'dress'....? Weiner is nothing. I am not a fan but I hear he was pretty good as a politician.
Why doesn't everybody get as excited with the real stupidity of congress. Where are the bankers that should be in jail. etc etc etc
It wasn't the cheating, it was the lying!
Just kidding. Well, sort of. But the reality is: he behaved like an idiot, and worse, like an idiotic child, and oddly enough, people don't like idiotic children representing them in Congress.
Of course, there are any number of duly elected representatives who have behaved like idiotic children; the difference is, they did so off-camera.
I have a 1 terabyte sex drive. Yeah, it's small, but it gets the job done, quite handily. What size is yours?
Really? How about the fact that he LIED. Yes, it may not be a crime, but why does everything have to be related to a law being broken or not broken. What ever happened to integrity and character?
I find it very disturbing that everyone focuses on everything BUT the fact that he lied.
My father taught me an important principle long ago, nicely summed up by Tony Montana: “All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break them for no one.”
Weiner is a real piece of shit.
You are soooo upset that he lied? Dude we are lied to EVERY FREAKIN DAY! Lets start off with the prez. Do you know how many things HE lied about? The list is huge! Closing Gitmo is just one of them.
Being a horny human is not the reason he's being ostricized.
The reason is because his wanton lack of impulse control with respect to the norms of this society. As for leaders, they get cut even more slack than an average joe. Well, he knocked that out of the park too.
Defending this behavior is complex and interesting behavior in itself. It merits study.
Weiner Likes Pussy!
He likes thinking about Pussy!
He likes playing with his weiner when he thinks about Pussy!
well then! everyone who does not play with their weiner should talk.. all others should "Shut The Fuck Up!"

He couldn't keep it up any longer.
Let him stay as long as wife Huma sexts everybody with her naked pics. She's not into him anyway, she's only married to Weiner boy to hide Square-pant Hillary's forbidden love.
I'm surprised no one mentioned alcohol in this whole Weinergate affair. Seems clear to me he liked to get drunk and go online - bad combination.
I do the same thing, but I just watch Redtube and masturbate, no problem except for the times my wife walks in unexpectedly
TMI
Extrapolation, bitchezzz!!!
Get me that there ruler, boy.
More useless distraction from the significant matters of our time, that affect our real quality of lives, by the lackey Main Stream Media.
I am sure that either a Democratic or Republican Administration salivates over things like WeinerGate when they are trying to minimize the massive incompetency and corruption amongst government and 'Federal' Reserve Bank representatives and employees, while the nation literally burns.
Spot on.

One big step for Weiner kind.
Intrade odds on any country leaving the eurozone this year: 22%
Alas, the Weiner goes limp.
Heard he's going to be a guest star in the remake of Pee Wee's Playhouse.
So what's the new summertime entertainment for the masses going to be?? The Average Joe doesn't give a shit about Greece.
No one gives a shit, I know. He fucked up, this is true.
What is sad to me is that I have not seen any, I repeat, any, commentary on what to me is the obvious truth that somehow this guy is a sexual trauma survivor.
I don't expect you to have compassion for him (though I do). He is not stupid, he is ill. It just happens to be happening out there in front of everyone. The guy actually does need help.
An interesting point about him is that he voted against the Patriot Act and extensions, wanted to keep funding for NPR, and voted to cut House salaries and expenses,
You are "sad" and have compassion for a Congressman who sent pictures of his very unimpressive penis to unknown woman, while in office? And he, "needs help"?
It MUST have been that he's a victim of some sort of "pre-existing illness or trauma"? (LMMFAO)
Because to do what he did, of sober and clear mind, is so disgusting to almost everyone that Democratic commenters need to invent an excuse to absolve him of the 100% responsibility that he has for his disgusting actions.
Another Liberal politician who slaps the American people right in the face, and yet, "he" is the victim.
Dairy Queen is looking for counter help, Mr. Weiner. (If you're qualified enough to run the register.)
Hi firefighter302,
More of us need help than any of us will ever admit. I do not claim he is special, just having his crisis (his bottom of the barrel moment) in public. I don't think he can competently serve, stepping down is the right thing to do.
He is NOT of sober and clear mind. He is not a moron. He had a compulsion so strong, he could not say no to it even though the danger to his career was great.
He is 100% responsible, AND he is sick. They are not mutually exclusive. Sex is a drug, a form of self medication. It is another way, along with TV, booze, and drugs, to numb out.
We are all the victims if you need to locate a victim.
I am not a dem or a rep. I believe in both financial and personal freedom. I want the Govt. OUT of my business.
don't think the 2,200% annualized is particularly meaningful
being weinerless for New York is a Transitory issue! they will be standing upright in no time at all.
Change You Cay Believe In! Obama Beats Weiner!
