Back during the Clinton fiasco I said, I don't think Clinton should resign for lying to a politically motivated grand jury, I think he should resign for lying to the American people with the look at the camera and saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski. . . . " bullsh*t. And because he had so many people covering for his ass for so long.
Weiner lied for about a week, probably got his wife fully informed, tried to make ammends with her, stuff like that. He didn't f*ck anyone, but he did some really creepy stuff. He got too cocky (pun intended) and thought he was bullet-proof. He was getting more powerful, lots of tv appearences, and Democrats loved the way he fights and speaks out. Now that is over, at least for the time being.
If he can outlast this, he may be back, but never as the fighter he was, imo. If he can't outlast this, he just probably won't seek re-election and get a job on CNN or MSNBC as an analyst until he can get his rep back, then run for mayor of NYC.
Thing is, I wonder how many people in congress, hell people anywhere, would like their private sh*t being broadcast to the world. I know I don't send pics like that to anyone, but I still wouldn't want my conversations with my wife or even private conversations with friends out there for everyone to hear. We have locks on our doors and curtains on our windows for a reason. He was a dumb ass, but we all are occasionally.
