This isn't about "friendship" or "loyalty" -- This is an august body of public servants working on the very serious issues affecting 306 million of us and not a playground for them to indulge their libidos. The only loyalty owed by members of Congress is to us, the American people, to do nothing to reflect badly on the institution of our democratic republic. To do nothing that's going to get us mired down in weeks of media tabloid sensationalistic distractions instead of the substantive issues affecting us all.
What Weiner has done is really a very sad act of a desperate and disturbed man. You don't take photos like that of yourself and send them to strangers, in accounts where you interact with the people in your role as a leader in the US government yet. That's cr@zy behavior.
Weiner's destroyed his own brand and the issues of those he's championed. Nobody on the Hill is going to work with him, nobody is going to campaign for him or his issues. He and the issues he fronts are damaged goods. And if you cared about the issues you claim to, that Weiner champions, you'd want those issues not to be tainted by someone whose baggage will prevent a whole lot of people from ever signing on to them.
