2. Not surprising

Just the same, I'm pretty sure an investigation will find that this was a personal matter and did not interfere with nor involve the duties of the congressman's office.

3. His lack of judgement surely left him vulnerable to the possibility of blackmail.

The People deserve better.

4. "The People" are human and understand human failing

Anthony Weiner has never been one to stand on the soapbox of "family values". This is not a man who voted against gay rights and then was exposed as a toe-tapping closet case. This is not a man that trotted his wife and children around like ponies and then exposed as a mistress-having/hush-money paying hypocrite.

In my opinion, your outrage is inflated to a ridiculous degree.

5. You are missing the point. The seriousness of this matter relates not to what he did,

but what others could have done to him.

His behavior was unbecoming of a member of The People's House and he should resign immediately.
