And for all you that want to keep defending Weiner, this is the worst revelation yet:
Weiner actually sponsored legislation - the KIDS Act of 2007 to "keep the internet devoid of sexual predators".
From Weiner's official House website
Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today.
Sadly true Mr. Weiner. Sadly true.

Yeah, if Wiener was flirting with a girl -- it does not hurt me.
If he is STALKING a girl -- then that's a matter for her lawyer.
But otherwise -- this is NOT as important as someone firing teachers to give tax breaks to campaign donors.
When are we going to go after REAL criminals who start wars or bankrupt economies?

Being rude and coy isn't working for you--sorry.
Here is a copy of Ms. Pelosi's statement:
“I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”
Followded up with her partner's statement:
Israel added: “Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future . “To remove all remaining doubt about this situation, I agree with Leader Pelosi’s request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an investigation.”

Don't you agree with the Democratic leaders that they want to ensure the removal of ANY doubt? Maybe they are just conducting a witch hunt... or warming up the electric chair for no reason....
Maybe you better stop for the night and see what tomorrow's marching orders/talking points are on the subject. I think you are using the ones prior to his presser.
I just love it how people are defending him so much and you/we don't know all the facts. Just shows me what cattle like mentalities are like.
Moooooooo....

I heard he had a history of this in college, so it's nothing surprising to some people.
Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007, a bill to require sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry. The “Kids Act’ implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data.

Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children.

Does Hillary Have a Lesbian Connection to Weinergate?
People are motivated to follow their darker instincts by lust for money, power, or sex.
In mid-2007, rumors started to circulate about Huma Abedin a stunningly beautiful staffer working for Hillary Clinton. The wagging tongues of Washington asked logical questions about Huma.
If Hillary is bisexual (as had long been thought and occasionally uttered in public), what is the nature of her relationship with the dark eyed enchanting Abedin, a young lady from a strict Muslim family?
Is the fact that Huma was never seen twice in the same designer outfit and lived in a $649,000 condo explainable because she was trading sexual favors with Hillary for a fabulous lifestyle?
If so what does that make Huma?
How did Huma, whose government salary was listed as $9,999, live as she did?
Is Hillary Clinton a lesbian?….

It's a bigger picture than you realize... Are you actually going to propound that his current problems are just because he let some "pee-pee" images slip out on twitter?...
TBTB strike down their minions on THEIR time table...
I meant TPTB...

First off I have already stated that I find Rep. Weiner's actions unbecoming of an elected official. Not that he was Flirting On-line (Flirtation = attention without intention) but that he lied about it. Because of that I think he should step down even though I like the man.
But just a friendly reminder. Recently Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he had fathered a child with another woman while he was married and kept it a secret FOR TEN YEARS! I don't recall seeing all the juvenile partisan remarks about Schwarzenegger's political stripes on ATS by liberals like myself.
The OP is as guilty as anybody. Hey Mr. Pot, I'd like you to meet my friend Mr. Kettle.
