Weiner lied about the photo? Why did he believe he needed a 'Sarah Palin" attention getting moment?

Everyone should do the math.  This is a non-issue and the House ethics committee will probably see it that way.  I don't know how he defines inappropriate, but, that picture is tame in 'Single-ville' compared to others.  Unless there was some kind of campaign promise attached to this mess, I don't really see anything that is strange or worrisome. 

Representative Weiner and his wife need to continue to bring Democratic values forward to the people. 

I believe his wife did the best thing.  This wasn't adultery and quite frankly the 'stand by your man' scenario is 'old hat.'  A Wife have a right to be hurt and disapproving of any 'roaming.'  Those moments should not have to be public.

Case closed.

New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, 46, (click title to entry - thank you) held a press conference confirming that he had inappropriate conversations with six women over the past three years through social networking, and also sent a photo of himself in his underwear to a young woman in Seattle. Weiner married Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's aide Huma Abedin last year. She was not at the press conference. Weiner tearfully apologized to his wife and said they did not plan to split up. "We will weather this," he said. "I love her very much and she loves me." He said he will not resign from Congress. (Dimitrios Kambouris/VF11/Getty Images)

I believe he was worried about losing his new bride. You know people do strange things when they are single. I hope all his wild ideas of 'getting a date' are over now that he has a stable and happy relationship. I suppose his constituents will have to decide about all this later, but, it probably sounds more normal than not. Unfortunate he lied, but, with a pretty wife like that it is understandable.
