Who do you think is a smart man, Jman? Weiner?
Hmmm,
Yeah, I have to agree. One can argue about Weiners right to a private life, or cite how nothing has been proven about breaking laws, using government property or time, or whether he has broken Congressional ethics, but would I want someone doing this to represent me? NO! Sure he's got the same rights as everyone else, but as an elected public servant in the highest echelons of government he needs to be someone more respectable than the average person allowing himself to act like a horny toad and making a choice that put himself in a position to become a public spectacle. People in his position need to be examples, someone who lives standards of behavior closer to exemplary than slutty. A Congressman who photographs himself grabbing his unit to either socialize with strange women or use it as a trashy come on for extramarital sex is simply nothing more than lewd dude. The country does not need a Congressman who doesn't have the discipline or sense to see how this act was a very poor choice and couldn't control himself.
All of the above is plenty of reason why he should resign. Then there is the problem of his political liability to the party it's ability to be effective. Generally, I don't think this episode would be all that damaging in that respect, especially since there are so many much more very serious life affecting issues, which make his stupidity small and nearly irrelevant. But there is a risk that the episode could be fodder for Republicans to take advantage of to distract from or delay necessary work, and if there turns out to be more serious violations of ethics and legality that come up because of this at the wrong time then this episode could become more decisive among all the other issues. Overall, he needs to go.

No ... Obama for his recomendation. Fact is the distraction created by the stupidity will never permit him to do his job. He should resign...at a minimum take a leave.
As for Wiener, he's not doing anything many probably are doing...he just happens to be a public elected official who got caught...lol. Anyone who denies that the behavior occurs in the mainstream is just lying.

I don't think Hollywood or the Porn Industry could have written a funnier or more tragic script or "screen play" than what Weiner did to himself. :thumb::eyebrows: This dude belongs in the San Fernando Valley writing, producing, directing and acting in porn flicks. :nod: Either he really has a small Junk or he obsesses about his Weiner every waking moment of his life.
Congressman Weiner -- please relocate to Montreal; the SP's there are very discreet and they are fantastic. :thumb: They won't sext and tell; in fact, they'll provide you the best GFE's you always dreamed about. ::thumb:

Report: Weiner To Resign At 2 p.m. Today
It's over, Weiner will resign this afternoon:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/06/16/weiner.scandal/index.html
Now the question is who will take over in this district and who will be NYC Mayor in 2013. Weiner appears to be fully cooked at this time after a long slow roast.

Doesn't Gov. Cuomo have the authority to appoint someone to occupy the vacant seat until a special election or the next election.
The Mayoral race is two years away. I'm sure someone will emerge. Maybe another self-made billionare.
We've had enough Weiner jokes,IMHO. He's out. I wish him and his family well and he really needs the appropriate professional treatment.
Interesting. Not often does a man get offered the opportunity to pursue his passion...

"Anthony Weiner may have resigned from Congress in disgrace, but hours after the news conference at which he made the announcement, he was offered an Internet job with a raise, moving expenses, health benefits equal to what he has been accustomed to, and a fancy office in Beverly Hills working for an internationally known publishing company.
On Friday, porn magnate Larry Flynt reached out to Weiner in an open letter to "sincerely" offer the former congressman a job in the Internet group of Flynt Management Group.
"This offer is not made in jest. To show our sincerity, Flynt Management Group, LLC is willing to pay twenty percent more than your former Congressional salary, ensuring that your medical benefits would be equal to what you were previously receiving. While you will have to relocate to our corporate offices in Beverly Hills, California, we would pay for all relocation costs," Flynt wrote in the Huffington Post.
Flynt stressed how serious the offer is, and explained that the company has been involved in politics for over three decades, focusing on "the crucial fight of battling hypocrisy within the federal and state governments."
The publisher of magazines such as "Hustler," "Barely Legal" and "Asian Fever" wrote that "Flynt Management Group, LLC and Hustler Magazine have been dedicated to decades of serious political commentary. Just as we do not undertake insincere political crusades, we do not make insincere job offers.
" ... I feel that your unfortunate resignation is a prime example of unfounded political pressure and the hypocrisy that has invaded democracy in Washington D.C.," the 68-year-old Flynt wrote."

Larry Flynt and Hustler
Larry Flynt is something of a marketing genius. He made that offer obviously affording to make it, but also knowing Weiner would not take it. It was done solely to get Hustler's name in the news.
The Hustler v. Falwell decision by the US Supreme Court in 1988 remains one of the most influential US Supreme Court decisions of the latter part of the 20th century. It has shaped the entire body of law in the United States regarding defamation of so called "public figures." Flynt is someone who has always pushed the 1st amendment US constitutional protection of free speech to its outermost limits. He has usually done it to be over the top for marketing purposes. In the case of Falwell, it was of course to mock a political opponent to his business.

Trapped by her dirty rat

Anthony Weiner's pregnant and publicly humiliated wife feels hopelessly trapped in her marriage to the disgraced pol, whose online antics have completely disgusted her once-supportive family, a source close to the couple told The Post.
"He could be having sex live on TV for the whole world to watch and she'd still feel like she'd have to stay with him for now," the source said.
Those closest to Huma Abedin -- nearly 36 and about three months pregnant -- are furious with Weiner but keeping mum out of respect for her fragile condition, said the pal.
"No one in her family wants to put any pressure on her to make any decisions now when she is still in her first trimester," said the source.
Abedin's relatives initially rallied around Weiner under the mistaken belief that he was being bullied by an overly aggressive media, said the source.
Yet as more tawdry details emerged, they slowly realized that Weiner -- who at first lied and pretended to be the victim of a hacker -- did not deserve their sympathy and needed to step down from office.
But nothing prepared the close-knit and devout Muslim family for the release of close-ups of Weiner's genitalia, which were unleashed online by radio shock jocks "Opie & Anthony" after one of his cybermistresses leaked it to the press.
The release of that photo proved the final straw for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had already ordered up an ethics probe into the randy rep's behavior.
The most powerful Democrat in the House -- notoriously hard-nosed when it comes to protecting the party -- realized that Weiner had become politically toxic and took steps to engineer his ouster.
"The turning point for Pelosi came Wednesday, when additional photos emerged and the tenor of the caucus changed," a senior Democratic aide told Politico.
"She felt that matter couldn't wait for an ethics investigation and that he needed leave Congress."
Weiner -- known for being combative even with other Dems -- initially resisted calls for his resignation but finally agreed to step down after exhausting conversations with Abedin, a source told The Post.
One of his cyberbabes, Georgia cheerleading coach Traci Nobles, yesterday told the "Today" show she doesn't regret exchanging dirty messages with the married politician.
"It changed me in some way or made me who I am today, so I don't really regret anything," said Nobles. "It was mutual. I'm not a victim."

More Exposure for Weiner?? Check out his Tax Form
Odd bulge in Weiner tax form

Anthony Weiner likes to do things big -- especially when it comes to his tax deductions.
The disgraced former congressman's 2010 tax return shows he took $40,521 in unspecified itemized deductions on an income of $156,117.
"It's definitely a very large deduction," said Manhattan CPA Jonathan Medows.
He said the deductions appeared to include more than the standard writeoffs for state and local taxes and Weiner's mortgage.
Weiner's campaign finance reports list his Forest Hills home as the address of his campaign committee, even though the committee rents office space in midtown Manhattan.

Financial questions.A spokesman for Weiner, who resigned Thursday in the wake of a sexting scandal, refused to provide any details about the return.
