New York CONgressman Anthony Weiner Defies Calls For His Resignation, Instead Seeks Treatment For Himself And His "Little Weiner".

Rep. Anthony Weiner will not resign from Congress and will instead head to rehabilitation to seek "professional treatment," despite a cascade of calls from the top leaders of the Democratic Party on Saturday for him to quit Congress. Weiner's office released a statement to POLITICO on Saturday afternoon:

"Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person. In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents."
