Weiner admits to sexting and lying about it

Weiner tearfully confessed to sending a photo of himself in his underwear to a woman via Twitter and then lying about it.He is a Democrat which means he will probably get away with his bad conduct. If he were in the GOP caucus, he would be gone. I am not particularly bothered by that, as his continued presence will be a reminder as to what a jerk he is.
Mr. Weiner said the indiscretion was part of a pattern of sending inappropriate and at times explicit photos and messages to women he met over the Internet.
Mr. Weiner, 46, a popular and brash Democrat from Queens who has been considering a run for mayor of New York City and is known for aggressive and sometimes intemperate political commentary on Twitter, apologized repeatedly.
“I have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people I care about the most and I’m deeply sorry,” Mr. Weiner said. “I have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends and supporters and the media.”
He said he had no intention of resigning, that he had broken no laws and that while his wife “made it clear that she thought that what I did was very dumb,” his marriage was not ending. He said he never met any of the women.

Teenagers have immaturity as an excuse for this type of conduct. Weiner does not have that to fall back on.
