hello america!!! just more mumbling.....
after three years of rep anthony weiner showing his weener, he got caught, lied about it, has since admitted it, has asked for immediate leave &, won't resign. my problem with this whole episode is: weiner says he made a mistake (& some of the others supporting him echo that) but, what weiner did is not a mistake: a mistake is something you do once or twice & correct it. weiner's showing his 'body' along with 'sexually writings' to women he did not really know over a three year period (by his own admission) borders on stupidity. &, don't forget the fact that he was married for the last year & his wife is pregnant. i don't see what he did as a being a sickness because if the first woman he sent that crap to had of reported him, it would have been 'game over'---then he could say it was mistake.
no matter how you slice it, he violated the first rule in the official "code of conduct" for us house of representatives & i've copied & pasted that rule below.
1. A Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives shall conduct himself at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.
what weiner's 'tweeting & texting' did does not reflect "creditably" on the house &, when you couple that with his lying to all of america (on national tv) about it raises serious questions as to whether he can be trusted. more importantly, can he be relied upon to carry out his 'duties'?
weiner needs to go. he placed himself in a position to be 'blackmailed' & this should never be overlooked.
as for nancy pelosi calling for an 'ethics' investigation, she should have been calling for his resignation from day one---after all she was the one that wanted to "drain the swamp".
if this were a teacher, fireman or policeman, they would have been suspended with or without pay pending an investigation...why are the rules always different for our elected officials? oh, that's right---they make their own rules....
