The Secret Online Life of Rep. Weiner

Re “Tearful Weiner Admits Sending Explicit Picture” (front page, June 7):

As a constituent of Representative Anthony D. Weiner, I would hope that he takes the dignified course of action and steps down. With these pictures in the public forum and the possibility of more looming, his ability to defend my interests has diminished.

Mr. Weiner has let down all of his constituents and no longer carries the reputation needed to actively debate on a national stage. He should leave the political arena.

MICHAEL METS Glendale, Queens, June 7, 2011

To the Editor:

Politicians don’t seem to understand that if you get caught in a sex scandal, your career in politics is over. It’s the same farce, over and over.

First, the denial. Second, the mea culpa and a refusal to resign. Third, the resignation. It’s as predictable as it is sad.

MATTHEW MENKEN Princeton, N.J., June 7, 2011

To the Editor:

Anthony D. Weiner’s admission at his press conference hardly came as a surprise. From the beginning of this saga Mr. Weiner’s story did not make sense. Now he has been forthright because he knew he had no alternative.

Is his political career finished? Other politicians have kept their careers having done far worse things, but it’s doubtful that we will see him as a candidate for mayor of New York City.

Oh what a tangled Weiner, he did weave,
When first he practiced to deceive.

While the self-admitted liar was explaining his lies, he lied again saying the picture he sent was “a joke”. No joke - it was a symptom and his MO.

Give me enough time and enough rum:

O I wish I hadn’t Tweeted up my weiner
Put in on Facebook for all to see
For if I hadn’t Tweeted up my weiner
Hil’ry’s girl would be in love with me.
