I disagree with that. If you send a picture of your package to someone, they're free to do whatever they want with the picture. Be careful who you send it to. Under the current laws, yes. I am saying such laws need to be changed. I disagree. We've got enough laws. Snail mailed pictures don't have any protections, emailed/texted stuff shouldn't get additional protection.

::and for asking others to lie on his behalf:: That's where I have a problem with Mr. Weiner. When he got caught he should have just admitted to it. The coverup is always worse than the "crime." I believe what he should have said to the media is this: UP YOURS! NUNYA!

Weiner has admitted to salacious Tweets and other online communications with women. He is taking a mental-health break from his Congressional duties.
He is taking a mental health break because he is a very sick pervert....and probably will not be cured since he has been one all of his adult life...IMHO

For review:
(CNN) -- Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat, has been under fire ever since a lewd photo appeared on his Twitter account last month. Considered one of the leading liberal voices in the House, the seven-term congressman is now battling for his political life. Here are key dates in the snowballing scandal:
-- May 27, 2011: A lewd photo appears briefly on Weiner's Twitter account. Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart is first to report the image, which shows the bulging crotch of a man in his underwear. The story goes viral.
-- May 30, 2011: The congressman tells reporters a hacker got control of his social networking account. "Look, this is a prank and not a terribly creative one," Weiner says. A spokesman says the congressman has retained an attorney to look into the situation, but Capitol Police and the FBI tell CNN they are not investigating.
-- May 31, 2011: Weiner repeatedly dodges reporters' questions about the Twitter post, saying the matter is a distraction and undeserving of further attention. "I'm going to get back to the conversation I care about," he says. Weiner declines to answer whether he is the man in the photo.
-- June 1, 2011: Weiner tells CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he did not post the picture and says he has hired a law firm to investigate. He continues to evade the question as to whether the now-notorious photo is of him.
-- June 3, 2011: Weiner cancels a speech he was scheduled to make at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention. Privately, members of the House Democratic leadership begin to push Weiner to end what many now see as an unwelcome diversion.
-- June 6, 2011: In an abrupt about-face, a tearful Weiner apologizes for falsely claiming that his Twitter account was hacked and admits to having engaged in inappropriate relationships with several women he met online. He tells reporters he will not resign, nor does he plan to separate from his wife. "To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it," Weiner says.
-- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi calls for an ethics committee investigation to determine if government resources were used or House rules violated in Weiner's online relationships. The congressman claims he does not believe he used any government resources, but says he would "welcome and fully cooperate" with a probe.
Earlier in the day, conservative blogger Breitbart published new images that purportedly showed Weiner shirtless.
-- June 7, 2011: Democratic leaders begin to turn on Weiner. "I wish there was some way I could defend him, but I can't," says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada. Two House Democrats say they will donate campaign contributions from the embattled congressman to charity.
-- June 8, 2011: Tim Kaine, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, calls on Weiner to resign, becoming the first prominent Democrat to publicly demand his resignation. A photo that blogger Breitbart claims shows the naked genitals of Weiner finds its way to the Internet.
-- June 9, 2011: Sen. Patrick Leahy adds his voice to calls for Weiner to resign from his seat in the House. Weiner says he has no plans to step down and that his wife wants him to stay in Congress, according to a Democratic source. A Marist College poll shows that a majority of registered voters in Weiner's district -- 56% -- don't believe he should resign.
CNN learns that Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, are expecting their first child.
-- June 11, 2011: The head of the Democratic National Committee calls for Weiner's resignation, as does House Democratic leader Pelosi and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Steve Israel.
Weiner decides to seek treatment "to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person" and will ask for a "short leave of absence" from Congress, his spokeswoman says. It was not clear what type of treatment he would undergo.
-- June 12, 2011: TMZ publishes photos of Weiner, in various states of undress, which he apparently took of himself in a locker room. TMZ reports that they were taken in the House members' gym and sent to at least one woman. Weiner's office had no immediate comment, and CNN could not confirm the details as reported by TMZ.
The heads of both major political parties battle over the handling of Weiner's scandal, with the Republican Party boss accusing Democrats of inaction and the Democratic Party leader accusing Republicans of a "double standard."
-- June 13, 2011: President Obama says if he were in Weiner's position, "I would resign." Speaking to NBC, the president says that when "personal distractions" prevent someone from serving "as effectively as you need to... then you should probably step back."
-- June 14, 2011: Weiner's fellow New York Democrat, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, tells reporters "we're hearing that he might resign in a couple of days," but did not say where she was hearing that.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, joins other GOP colleagues in saying he thinks Weiner should resign.
-- June 15, 2011: Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, a senior aide to Secretary of State HIllary Clinton, returns from her work trip. Weiner's colleagues had previously said he wanted to wait until she returned before making a decision on his career.
-- June 16, 2011 -- Weiner plans to resign, a Democratic source with knowledge of his plan says

Allred said Lee called the news conference because she needed to clear up misconceptions about her behavior “and resume her career as a feature dancer,” according to the LA Times. Is "featured dancer" code word for stripper? I

Allred said she is a "featured dancer"... most featured dancers in case you were wondering have been known to shed their clothes or else guys like me, and my best bud Joe Six Pack will boo them off the stage..

::Gloria Allred, and her Porn actress client said Weiner is a sick Pervert...so do we believe them or you?? ?? Gloria Allred is an Attention Whore Ambulance Chasing Waste of Flesh who will say whatever she thinks will serve herself the best. I don't give a rat's ass what Gloria has to say about anything. I was thinking this also. Yes. Let's believe Gloria Allred AND a PORN ACTRESS. I mean...I guess being in porn, she'd know about sick perverts. Maybe she's on to something. But seriously.....she thinks he's a sick pervert for sending a naked pic? Really??

I have stated repeatedly that his most aggregious offense has to do with slandering a private citizen in his official capacity as a member of the United States House of Representatives. We DO still live in a world where it's not "OK" to slander another human being, do we not?

my thought is...........someone named weiner, should have been the last person in the world to show is weener, get caught, and expect it to go away.
seriously, if he was named any other name in the world, maybe, but not weiner.

His defense wasn't, "Yeah, I did it. So, what?"-- if it were, I'd be right behind him. I disagree with it. I think it's disgusting. I would be ashamed to live in his district. But I can't see how it would effect his service. On the other hand, a member of Congress so desirous of keeping secrets is vulnerable to blackmail, and slander is unforgivable.

Sending pictures of his package to consenting adults makes him a pervert? I've been a prosecutor, I do criminal defense. I've been practicing law for about 16 years. He's not perverted. The guys who fuck kids are perverts. The guys who get off on child porn are perverts. The guy who screwed his 90 year old bed ridden grandmother is a pervert. Let's get a little perspective here.

Fact #1 - his constituents did not want him to leave. Fact #2 - a scandal only exists when a politician is caught, if control of their actions were a requirement for office, DC would be a ghost-town. Fact #3 - many that, publicly, demanded his resignation will, some-day be involved in a scandal, that they, already, are deeply steeped in building. (why do politician insist on furnishing their glass houses with stone trinkets). #4 - Weiner would have been shown the most vocal outrage, if someone else were caught first. Final Truth - The pubs suffered a great PR loss, when Weiner stopped showing up on talk shows. That guy had a special flair for flamboyantly solidifying his opposition's point. I for one am sad to see him go, if only he'd consorted with more discretion.

I do NOT believe you are a prosecutor just be reading some of your comments re: Weiner NOT being a Pervert...and you are NOT an Attorney as you claim....so deal with it Ma'am
The only who thinks you are an attorney is you and you are just fooling yourself or delusional or both??

You can't read, can you? I didn't say I am curently a prosecutor. I was one for 4 years, prior to me becoming a defense attorney, hence the statement "I've been a prosecutor, I do criminal defense."
What's there not to believe? Would you like a brief synopsis of the biggest perverts I've come across in 16 years of practicing law?

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Rep. Weiner tells friends he is resigning, NYT reports. Developing Good Riddance to another Liberal politician who thought he could get away with lying and being a pervert on the INTERNET.. Fixed. This isn't a liberal/conservative problem, it's a entitlement problem that seems to afflict some people after being elected to public office

The only who thinks you are an attorney is you and you are just fooling yourself or delusional or both?? NY state is pretty sure I'm one, since they keep taking my $350 every two years and they haven't told me I can't practice law. And yup, my diploma and bar admission papers are still hanging on the wall behind me. But thanks for your concern.
