OK, someone needs to answer this. All morning they have been talking about it. What is a shirtless Weiner? Is it kind of like a naked burrito at Chipotle?

Am I correct in understanding that the only people who saw the tweet was Breitbart and Rep. Weiner?
Not even close. He just admitted having online corespondence with 6 women over the last 3 years that he met online, sending them lewd pictures and emails. He said his wife just found out this morning that it was true and is very upset and he will have to work on that.
Last republican who just got caught with one picture of his shirt off resigned immediately. Knowing we as Americans are tired of the examples these politicians are setting as far as family values go. Do you feel that people in this position of power and leadership should stay there after getting caught basiclly having several cyber affairs, and it is still not known if he met any. He says he didn't but he also swore up and down he never sent the first picture.
Perhaps you could tell us about David Vitters, the Republican congressman who committed illegal crimes soliciting prostitutes while campaigning on a family values platform? Or about John Ensign, the Republican senator who had an affair with his "best friend's" wife who worked for him, and stayed in office for almost a year after being caught, and only resigned during an ethics investigation, who also campaigned on a family values platform. Not quite in the same ballpark as sending out shirtless photos.
Well something, why not dig deeper, FDR's girlfriends, JFK's several girlfriends, billyboy's girlfriends?? How many affairs did these presidents have? Did RR, bush 1 & 2? Just wondering...
Along with several colleagues in Congress, we introduced & passed the KIDS (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators) Act of 2007, a bill to require sex offenders to register their e-mail and instant message addresses with the National Sex Offender Registry. The “Kids Act’ implemented one of my six recommendations to keep a closer eye on sex offenders both near school grounds and online. I also proposed stricter GPS tracking of sex offenders, tougher enforcement of registration laws and more public disclosure of sex offender data.
Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children.
