Should Anthony Weiner Resign for Lying?: If So, Lots More Congressmen Should Go for Their Lies and Deeds

Michael Russnow, along with many posting in defense of Weiner, have no moral compass if they don't comprehend that you don't send pictures of yourself naked as a member of the US Congress to strangers.  

Anybody defending him is as seriously disordered as Anthony Weiner is proving to be.  Anybody defending him also doesn't understand the working of Congress -- Nobody is going to work with him after this; to do so taints them, too.  Nobody will work with him on legislatio­n, nobody will campaign with or for him.  Weiner is destroyed goods, no good for the issues he cares about, no good for the people of his district, no good for the Democratic Party, and certainly no good for the reputation and dignity of the institutio­n of Congress.

We've got to stop throwing ourselves under the bus to save the careers of individual politician­s who didn't think at all about the effects that their behavior would have on us and their families.

Where the heck are the gray beards in the Democratic Party taking Weiner aside and explaining the facts of life to him, that he's got to go and NOW!

He has no future in the US Congress, nobody is going to work with him, nobody will associate with him, nobody will co-sponsor any of his legislatio­n or have him on their legislatio­n, nobody will campaign with him or for him.  

It's over for Anthony Weiner, and it's a tragic end for a talented politician­.  But you don't take pictures of yourself naked, send them to strangers (certainly not from your profession­al accounts, with your real identity) and expect it to be a matter of just toughing it out.

 Vitter has nothing to do with this -- It's irrelevant what Republican­s do or who they go after.

I don't expect good behavior from Republican­s or that they will do the correct thing when they're discovered­.  

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.  

He's got to go.

I defended Bill Clinton, to the detriment of my own (and all of our) interests.  Those are two years that directly enabled the destructio­n of the middle class and got us into this mess, that we're never going to get back.  Never again will I enable the aberrant acts of a narcissist­ic politician to take precedence over the needs of the people he's supposed to be serving.  Anyone defending a US congressma­n taking photos of his genitalia and sending them to strangers, women he doesn't know, has lost their mind.  

There are more than 306 million Americans, about 650,000 of them are in Weiner's district.  There are others who can do the job.

We, on the left, the people who champion the issues of the People, don't need this distractio­n. Our problems are bigger than the career of one person, one member of Congress. 

You don't take pictures of your exposed genitalia, send it (from online accounts that you interact with the public as a representa­tive in the US government­) to strangers, women you don't know, and expect to remain in the United States Congress.  

Anyone defending behavior like that has lost their mind.

Anthony Weiner has destroyed his own credibilit­y and with it he's no longer an effective champion for our causes.

He must resign.
