Weiner should run with Eric Holder for president in 2016.
Remember, cast your vote for Weiner Holder!
Actually, in the first case, he did use government resources to do some of the stuff he shouldn't have. This one, no.
In all honesty, you are right, who gives a fuck. It's just Sexting, I am sure most of the people on these forums have done it, if not almost all.
On the other side.. it's not criminal, but it is stupid. Just like it would not be criminal for someone in Congress.. or any other office to refer to Ellen Degeneres as a "dyke" or call a black man the N-word. It's stupid to do so. It alienates a portion of the voting block. Then again, it's NYC.. there isn't much voting block there that this would really alienate.
Generally, I don't think anyone cares if people have affairs. I think it's more about when they get caught. Politicians normally never own up to it right off the bat. Then you have the whole blackmail thing. Fuckers that try to blackmail someone about it are some of the lowest scum in the universe. Most politicians are afraid to lose their job.. wife.. money.. and of course power. So they pay. Do you REALLY want the NYC Mayor to beholden to someone at some point? Imagine if someone caught this moron sending his dick to an underage girl.. what would Weiner do to keep that out of the news.. or law enforcement?
In the first case he resigned from Congress, yeah? So he "made amends" I guess as much as he could have for that.
If you're worried about him being blackmailed over sexting, don't vote for him. But to think that the other options don't have anything in their closets to be blackmailed over.. well that's just naive. (Not saying you said that, Jarvan. Just a generic "you".)
eta: Also... you could really say that about underage girls with ANY politician. What would they do to keep proof of that out of the media?

Wow, his wife is very attractive. Her GIS returns http://themuslimissue.files.wordpres...uma-abedin.jpg but that doesn't really look like her to me, but still. What the heck is he doing sexting random coeds? Ugh, men!
It is hard for me to type a response to the "but what if he was blackmailed???" people, but here goes: blackmail implies that the mailee cares about the secrets being made public. Consider how being publicly outed as a homosexual was a political death sentence in the 50s but would if anything garner more support in today's world. If Seņor Weiner is elected (re-elected? kinda?), would you say that it follows that he wouldn't care about those kind of secrets being made public? A shining new era is tip-toeing nearer.
In conclusion, *bloc.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
