Well, we didn't see this coming at all: The chairman of the Republican National Committee on Tuesday called for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign from Congress, saying no investigation was necessary "to know he lied and acted inappropriately." Following Weiner's dramatic news conference Monday afternoon, during which he admitted to sending explicit online communications to women over the course of several years, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called for the Ethics Committee to look into whether the New York congressman had violated House rules.
If I lived in his district, I would judge him harshly for the lying. The sexting and the rest is tawdry. But he lied. (So did Clinton, unless BJs really are not sex.)
As for Weiner taking the fight to the Repubicans: The Demoncrats should have a deeper bench. They are right on the facts, right on the politics, and right on the morality of all the health care issues. The Demoncrats should be ringing bells about this stuff, but cave at every juncture.
Years ago office flirtation and double entendres were common. Decorum and laws have moved that behavior to cyberspace. What I&#039;m saying is men enjoy getting attention, validation, strokes (ha ha) from the opposite sex. (Or sometimes from the same sex.) I bet women like that too. It doesn&#039;t have to end in sexytime. If a pretty girl <i>smiles</i> at me, in that instant I&#039;ve imagined a life together. It&#039;s lust in my heart (a sin) and it&#039;s nice. Then I go home.
Just want to re-emphasize the obvious: <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Vitter#Prostitution_scandals" target="_blank">Sen. David Vitter</a>, Republican of Louisiana, is <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Vitter#Reaction" target="_blank">still</a> in office, working hard championing the causes of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Vitter#Abstinence_education" target="_blank">abstinence-only education</a> and <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Vitter#Same-sex_marriage" target="_blank">banning same-sex marriage</a>.

Intentional factual statement?

Minor detail, yeah. You don&#039;t get off easy because you &quot;really liked&quot; that 13-year-old.

You forgot John Ensign. Sure, he resigned but he actually has sex with the (apparently reluctant) wife of his best friend.
He resigned(!) over something as innocuous as a shirtless photo. Oh wait.
