7. Lying when caught is a serious ethical error. When you've
fucked up and you're caught, you 'fess up. Basic Ethics 101. If you lie, I will not trust you in the future. I do not lie. I screw up, but if I am caught screwing up, I own up to my actions immediately, apologize and move on. Weiner lied. I will no longer believe what he says. It is that simple. And this man claims to be a progressive. Sorry...he's a liar.

18. I've yet to see a man come clean without first lying...
When it comes to sexual dallying. I think they are hard wired this way.

8. that thinks w/
his dick. What is it? Every 7 seconds, a man thinks about sex????

Maybe the women should be in charge while the men keep physically busy cleaning, washing windows, cooking, gardening, canning, washing the car, grocery shopping, mowing the yard, shoveling snow, doing laundry, ironing, and changing diapers (if children are around).

Really.

I'm so sick of perverted men in high places who think they are untouchable.

13. A good friend JUST told me that women will one day rule the world
while men just sit back, playing with themselves.

This has to be one of the most tragic relevations of the past few years, not because of what he did, but because it feeds right into the hands of the wingnuts. UGH!!!!

16. If the dudes are just
going to sit around, then women will still be doing all the work. I don't call that 'ruling the world.'

His last name says it all....lol.

11. I've never sent a picture of my dick to anyone
And I'm not in the public eye, where you have to be more careful than most.

The only dumbassed thing he did was
post it publically and then lie and say he was hacked. I could'nt fucking care less about what someone does in their spare time. IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS> He doesn't preach HIS morality to anyone unlike the sanctimonious Repukes. Thankfully he's from NY where people won't give a shit.
This will pass.

But boy I'll bet things will be frosty at home for awhile.

6. That is plenty. Trying to cover something up is just plain
stupid. I don't want stupid people running the country. I could give a shit about his personal shortcomings. Lying, however, when caught is childish and shows poor judgment in the extreme. That I cannot tolerate in someone who has responsibility over things that affect me. I don't care if he screws around. Why would that matter to me? But lying about it in an idiotic attempt to skate is just poor ethical behavior.

I will not trust this man again.

9. You're not one of his constituents so it
really doesn't matter whether you trust him or not. You don't know him. He is a politician from NY. So I guess, if you can't tolerate this huge failure, you can always flip the channel or turn off the radio.

I can only tell you, if you have never told a lie in your life then you are a better person then 99.9 percent of the rest of us. His apology sounded sincere and heartfelt. I unlike so many others don't expect politicians to be above human error.

19. Yep, a big one.
Which wouldn't be an issue if he weren't so damn proud he feels the need to show it off online. :shrug:
