Anthony Weiner to enter psychological treatment center, takes leave of absence

Weiner-tweeting Congressman Anthony Weiner has taken a leave of absence to enter a psychological treatment center. He has not resigned from the House, although a lot of his colleagues want him to.

Is this some kind of sex-addiction clinic that Tiger Woods went to before? Maybe he just needs lessons on how to use Twitter.

From NY Times:

Defying forceful demands for his resignation, Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York said on Saturday that he was entering a psychological treatment center and seeking a leave of absence from the House to deal with a pattern of reckless online behavior with women.

“Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person,” said his spokeswoman, Risa Heller. “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.”
