Anthony Weiner was not trying to find women to have relations with the way Chris Lee was
that is an important distinction. Anthony Weiner acting inappropriately online but he wasn't trying to have physical relationships with these women. Moreover, he has not used morality as an issue to win votes in his Congressional District. Therefore he shouldn't resign.

4. Well, gather those twigs and burn him at the stake.
Sorry, what an asshole conclusion. NOBODY is required to sign a sexual purity oath in our constitution. Which remains blessedly free of interference in our personal interests.

YOU wouldn't have elected THOMAS JEFFERSON. You wouldn't have allowed Ben Franklin to serve in our government.

Haven't you ever studied ANY American history? Franklin Delano Roosevelt wasn't good enough for you.

Nixon was faithful to Pat. Look how much good that did us.

6. Exactly.
I would have preferred to see * lying to Laura about 'junk shots' sent to college kids than lied us into Iraq. The only down side would be having those images in my head for the rest of my life.

2. What about being really, really stupid?
I'm not saying he necessarily should resign, but in this political climate, and given the way stuff can metastasize throughout the social media, isn't it pretty damn stupid to send photos of your junk to strange women on the internet where those photos can be seen, copied, possible altered, and used against you by political enemies (not to mention that it also seems a bit pervy)? Why would he make himself a sitting duck for the likes of Breitbart? That's seriously stupid.

3. Yes, I agree what he did is stupid. But unless something new comes out
this isn't something he should resign over. If he was going online to find women to be with that would be another issue.

5. ALL MEN ARE STUPID ABOUT THEIR PRECIOUS DICKS.
Next election make damn sure you inspect that penis thoroughly and make sure it knows what you require of it.

8. Why do men think women even want to see pics of their junk?
Strikes me as kind of pervy.

9. I don't know. But it's one of their most cherished delusions.
My attitude has always been, if I can see it, it ain't doing me a bit of good.

12. Men worship their dicks, so they think women do, too
Most women would rather have an honest, caring, reliable, sensitive, strong underendowed man, than a guy with a large penis and a crappy personality.

But that would entail men having to treat women well, so it's a lot easier to do the whole caveman thing of "Me have big penis!", and think that will impress the ladies.

10. I'm guessing you are also not in his district.
Maybe you should make your congressman sign a moral purity statement. Just to be sure.

Oh, and get him to take an oath on it.

11. How do we know?
Should I believe him now?

Sorry, been down that road with Clinton & Edwards. I don't trust Wiener's words today yet! Hell I wanted to believe him last week.
