Keep in mind that he's a Dem so should given a little more slack than a Rep should.

If everyone who tried to get some tail had to resign there'd be no one left to work!!!

No clever title? May I suggest: "Weiner trouble?" Yes, I enjoy bringing some maturity to the board.

I did use Weinergate in the poll question.

Obviously he should resign as this will cause deep problems for the party and their values-voting base.

But seriously, didn't we all know it was him last week when he refused to deny the photo was of him?

What a tool. How his dong, and his lack of managing it, has to do with his ability to be a congressmen is a little beyond me, but I would call for his resignation.

Real shame as he's actually a really effective Congressman.

I suspect he's totally fine in his district. Where it really hurts him is his chances at being the next New York mayor. He was considered a primary candidate and now he probably won't even run.

I don't recall him admitting that the photo was of himself. He said that his Twitter account had been hacked and someone sent the photo via his account but it was not a photo of himself.

Last week he had these weird non-denials when asked if the photo was of him. He totally denied posting it but wouldn't go so far as to say that the photo wasn't of him.

Mr. Weiner added, however, that he could not “say with certitude” if he was the person in the photo.

In an interview broadcast later on CNN, Wolf Blitzer asked the congressman “if he had ever taken a picture like this of himself?”

“There are – I have photographs,” Mr. Weiner replied. “I don’t know what photographs are out there in the world of me. I don’t know what things have been manipulated and doctored.”

I thought it was an obvious admission-by-nondenial.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

My other thought was that he might want people to think it was him because it made him look like a bigger man than he is. I mean if someone posted a faceless picture of a 17 incher and said it was me I probably wouldn't protest too much is all I'm saying.

Both parties seem to be attacking him now. What an ironic situation.
