It was stupid when Chris Lee resigned over an issue like this, and it would be stupid for Weiner to do it too.

No, it would be apt. This kind of behavior is asinine in 17 year old boys. That a US Congressman is doing it means he is as stupid as it gets. I'm embarressed anyone would defend this kind of lunacy, man.

Lee needed to go, he had zero intergrity. Scumbag.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say is, do we really need to have morons like this in the highest levels of govt?

I'm sure much much worse has been done by Congressmen and women over the years. I'm not defending his behavior - it's stupid. It's immature, its all those adjectives you want to put on it. There's no excuse. But should infidelity exclude a member of congress from serving? No. That's something that he and his spouse need to deal with in their personal lives. It's not criminal. There's nothing in the rules of Congress about it. I don't believe it affects his ability to represent his constituents. I guess that's where we disagree. And that's fine. Nothin wrong with that.

McCain was guilty of it, and no one had a problem with him running for president. Rudy Guiliani. Newt Gingrich. John Ensign. All adulterers. All kept their job and/or ran for or were elected to higher office. And for the record, I don't think their infidelities should have kept them from doing so.

The double standard is what's embarrassing. All this false outrage from Team R and the calls for him to resign are pure hypocrisy.

I don't think there should be a LAW against being stupid. If congress wants to enforce ethics above and beyond the law, that's their business. Regardless, I think a party that doesn't consider stuff like this as a disqualifying character flaw are broken.

Note that if the congressman has been privy to any classified information, this IS disqualifying to hold a clearance. For a clearance they don't care so much about what you do in public. It's secrets that bug them because it is a point of possible extortion against you. Any congress critter with so much as a mistress is a serious security threat.

Well, we can disagree, I think infidelity is criminal.

And I'm not standing by either party, when it comes to this kind of bonehead behavior, they should be ejected. But as far as "false outrage", I always see a LOT more of that from the Democrats. For example, they sure have been quiet about the Iraq war for the last few years. At least the Republicans aren't whining up a stink about Libya. Can you imagine what the situation would be like if a Republican president ordered a military intervention like this?

He must be sitting somewhere, pondering on the thought, "Was it all worth it"?

oh to be a fly on the wall for the conversation between the weiner wife and HRC

.

Even better, I'd love to be at the Clinton's dinner table last night.

What's Bill doing these days?

I...did..not...have...text...with...that...woman.

Wonder if, Monica Lewinsky comes to Bill, for old times' sake

I'm whining up a stink about Libya. It's another stupid middle eastern misadventure this country can't afford. Does that count as a tick in the "Non hypocrisy" column?

That's, what's Bill up to, boe-ing

Weiner won't get support from Harry palms Reed, Democrates call for Weiner probe, rather than be supporters, no one wants too be called a jock strap. Miss Nancy to turn her back on Weiner, I wonder if that is wise....

Can someone send me the Enigma code settings for that message?

I see some nouns and some verbs scattered around.
