I think the response to Weiner is sex negative and overblown. The only person whose business it is is his wife. If she is cool with it, there is no issue with the act itself. It sounds like all of the folks involved were consenting adults.
That said, Weiner is an idiot who shouldn’t be put in any political position more powerful than the PTA. He has shown such amazingly bad judgement it hurts. For better or for worse, dick shots will get you run out of a political position in US. If you literally just got caught and run out of office, why the hell would you turn around and do it again? How much of a moron are you? Even if the stupidity could be ignored, the blackmail danger can’t be. If you are not “out” about your doings and you lie when confronted until there is no ability to deny, it means that you are a blackmail target waiting to happen. It is like being gay while working for a spy agency. It is okay to be gay. It isn’t okay to be closeted about it, as that suddenly means that you are an easy person to blackmail.
Weiner is an idiot. There are a tens of millions of other democrats in the US. I am pretty sure that the Democrats can find someone with his same policy skill who isn’t a moron and a liability.
