Texas Congressman Joe Barton sent nudes and illicit text messages to a woman, and he's apologizing for the graphic image first revealed by a Twitter user.

Barton, a Republican, sent the nude photo showing his penis. The Twitter user censored the image, and also revealed a sext that reads, "I want u soo bad. Right now."

Seems like you are the pervert here...

That’s fine, I like knowing who to ignore.

You madame are insane. You have no standards! You claim your lack of standards is due to your enlightenment and “understanding of human nature”. I asked you where you draw the line? I give you an example of no standards and what happens when a society lacks good judgment.

THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME A PERVERT?

Madame, you supported and made excuses for this old pervert all day. It is YOU WHO ARE A PERVERT.

[Bodleian_Girl]

You are a pervert. You equate a child being raped with two adults in a consensual relationship.

Do me a favor. I don’t don’t like filthy people, so don’t tag me in your inane posts.

I’ve known gay men who would find this appalling.

He sent it to a lady his age . Wiener was sending pictures to minors. He didn’t break any laws, just his marriage vows. The lady who released those pictures may have broken the law if they were having an affair. If your having a relationship with someone it’s illegal to later release pictures of the person after. It’s called revenge porn, which is illegal in some states.

This happened in March

[Chgogal]

You like(understand) Joe Barton, so yes, you like(understand) filthy people.

All candidates are pre-screened for their loyalty to The Agenda. If they have strange personal habits, that's a plus - in case they need to be reminded in the future who they really work for.

100% correct and insightful.

[Vermont Lt]

Really?

Do you mind telling us their general age group?

[hal ogen]

This pervert should resign immediately.

[DestroyLiberalism]

Ugh!

Maybe he’ll use the Frankin excuse: “But it was only a comedy routine.”

[OldMissileer]

If the photo was unsolicited that’s one thing.

But what if it was requested and consensual?

It seems to me this type of behavior is common in today's trashy environment yet folks seem to forget that people can get pretty vengeful when that "lovin'" feeling disappears.

No matter how in love or horny you are it is wise to keep the nudity to the bedroom and keep the electronics out of said bedroom.

Just my two cents.

[sissyjane]

Porky Pig in the flesh.

[Vermont Lt]

I don’t think people see it as criminal.

Not speaking for everyone, but I think it showed a complete lack of judgement and awareness. If he took the photo from the other direction we would not have this conversation.

And 65 is pretty much the cut off point for blaming naivety of how the whole internet thing works.

But no...not criminal.

picture dated March 13th, and now just coming out on twitter.
Makes you wonder why now it’s come out.

Just sick.This guy is a pig. Has everyone lost their mind with technology these days?

[sissyjane]

Honey, no one would request that. NO one!

[lonevoice]

I’ve known gay men who would find this appalling.

Yes, I have as well. Still, it's true that the only people I've known who are interested in, or titillated by, pictures of male genitalia are gay men.

No matter how in love or horny you are it is wise to keep the nudity to the bedroom and keep the electronics out of said bedroom.

Totally agree.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Or a “honeypot” they stupidly fell for.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Honey, no one would request that. NO one!

They would if they were trying to set up a lonely old man.
