Republican NY Congressman and risque pictures = resign?

Democrat NY Congressman and risque pictures = don't resign?

Yes. Weiner won't resign, but if it is determined that he indeed did post the picture (which would mean he lied about a hacker doing it) and the reports about him following two young ladies' (one underage) twitter accounts, his reputation will take a big hit and he will be a laughing stock. Those are not positive outcomes for a politician who wants to be taken seriously.

Don't see any illegality yet, but he must be afraid of a civil suit (sexual harassment?) if he's getting all lawyered up.

Then he would be moving into Mark Foley territory. Setting aside the gay aspect, Foley also sent emails to pages, but didn't reach out until they were of age.

If this is true, it could be too much scandal for Pelosi Democrats to wash away. All we have to do is throw Foley back at them and watch their reactions.
