Is Weiner the same as Jimmy Carter....meaning his is sexting the 2011 version of Carter

"lusting in his heart"?

1. Everybody lusts in their heart (actually, a little farther south).

But not everybody sends photos of their junk to strange young women. Jimmy thought horny thoughts like everybody else in the whole damn world, but most people don't broadcast evidence of their horniness via social media where everybody can see, download and manipulate it in order to screw up their careers. Big difference, IMO.

2. Good point.

3. Probably not

Just about everybody has 'lust in their heart,' even married born-again Christians like Carter. But not every married man makes engages is cheeky naughtiness with random women. Of course the times are different too. The internet makes it easier to do this kind of thing.

4. Let's just stop slamming other people's leaders. Ours can turn out to be crap.

5. No; a lot more people could identify with Carter's admission.

Weiner has to deal with being a fool as well.
