Weinergate

House Minority Leader (our Speaker Emerita) Nancy Pelosi has called for a formal ethics investigation into Anthony "Aptly Named" Weiner's after he owned up to the tweet depicting his throbbing hard penis . Ethics panel investigations have traditionally been used to buy time for embattled members in hopes that a serious scandal blows over by the time the committee issues its report. However, for Weenie's own floor leader to fan the flames at such a difficult moment really ramps up the pressure for him to resign immediately, and suggests the Democratic leadership considers it cleaner to nip this scandal at the bud.

The Weiner story has legs, and the Dem leadership is giving him a little nudge in front of a barreling bus.
