Weiner gets action figure amid sexting scandal

NEW YORK - An online action figure company has jumped on the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal bandwagon with a doll of the U.S. congressman in two versions: censored and uncensored.

HeroBuilders.com of Oxford, Connecticut, is offering the "standard" doll for $39.95 and the anatomically correct "for adults only" version for an extra $10.

Both are dressed in a gym shirt and shorts with a label that reads "Tweet This."

Weiner has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos that ranged from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online.

Congress on Monday approved a two-week leave of absence for Weiner while he seeks treatment. House

The action figure company also makes a plastic Sarah Palin, Barack and Michelle Obama and other talk-of-the-town figures.

Mr. Obama on Monday said he'd resign if he were in Weiner's shoes. Meanwhile, Democrats met behind closed doors Tuesday for the first time since Weiner admitted to inappropriate online relationships with several women and lying to hide his misdeeds. Frustration among Democrats is increasing as the scandal moves into its third week.

Democrats could try to oust the seven-term congressman from the House Democratic caucus or try to strip him of his committee assignment on the Energy and Commerce panel in hopes of persuading him to quit Congress.

Going into the meeting, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., told reporters, "Hopefully, we're hearing he might resign in a couple of days." She did not elaborate.
