To Congressman Andrew Weiner, who should resign but won’t, at least as of this writing. Weiner first lied about sending a lewd picture to a young woman who was not his wife on Twitter. Then he admitted he lied and made a mistake but almost seemed resolute that he would not resign.His Democratic colleagues should offer no sympathy or support, and without that, it’s hard to see how he could be an effective representative for his constituents. What he did was unbecoming behavior for a member of the U.S. Congress, and if most people don’t think that now, they will.He should resign and get help.
Yesterday, the House Democrat admitted to sending improper photos to random women on the ‘net; there were six separate incidents in three years. Weiner was getting ‘involved’ with these women online. The Congressman got caught when Meagan Broussard, a 26-year-old nurse from Texas, decided to come forward with her story after being sent a flurry of increasingly sexual photos over Twitter — including one of Weiner’s weiner, so to speak. Andrew Weiner definitely has issues, and he definitely needs psychological help. need the sexual attention of strangers.
If you somehow missed it, New York Congressional Representative Andrew Weiner is being paraded around as the latest exhibit in an especially lively spring sex scandal season. What I’ve found most interesting about “Weinergate” hasn’t been the scandal, but the questions it raises about certain digital media ethics.
