Anthony Weiner

[marharth]

This has been on the news for something like 3 days straight, so I am going to go ahead and make a topic.

 

Trying to post this quick, If you don't know what I am talking about, just google his name.

 

I honestly don't think it matters, I wouldn't care about what Bill Clinton did, or that republican who recently did something of the sort.

For one of the people responsible for running the country he showed extremely poor judgment. And by refusing to resign shows his high opinion of himself (ego) is not well founded. Anyone who is in any high office can expect his private life to be exposed at any time. Only a fool would keep doing the kind of things he has been doing and not expect it to show up on the news. Whoever runs against him in the next election will enjoy the free campaign gifts that Weiner (AKA Weener) has given them. Do you want a fool and an egomaniac for your congressman?

That doesn't make him much different than any of the others.......

Which is my point.

I am saying he opened himself up to BE blackmailed. Not a good thing for a government official. You know, like if you don't support X law or get money for Y company we are going to release Z information on you. I mean how many girls had pictures of him and these are girls he knew ONLY online. Look how damaging this has been for him, what do you think he would have done to prevent someone outing him? Turns out he was stupid enough to out himself in the end but that's not really the point.

Blackmailing would be illegal, plus I am not sure what else could be released. He already has one picture out, don't see how more could hurt him much.

Yes, blackmail IS illegal. However, that wouldn't stop some unscrupulous profit monger from using it to make a buck or three.

Are you missing the point on purpose? Did you actually read my post? Of course it's a little late now but it shows how bad his judgement is that he would put himself in such a position. Are you seriously saying that something being illegal stops people from doing it? One of the girls could have been working for a foreign government, he had no idea who these people really were beyond a Facebook profile.

A penis is a useful piece of US military intelligence?

 

Why would it matter if they somehow DID work for foreign governments.

 

Why is his judgement bad? From what I know he mistyped something in twitter that made it public, then he deleted it shortly.

 

If we are going to get congressmen to resign based on bad judgement, everyone would have to resign.

 

Or is it only if its sexual? To me people dying in pointless wars and bankers/corporations getting free money is far worse judgement then sending a sexual picture.
