It's just a matter of government investigators/auditors digging around and checking. I still don't hear anyone on the Hill calling for a real investigation in this area. <br /><br />Heard an interesting take today: If Weiner had exposed himself to strange women in some other venue than the internet, he would be sitting in jail now. Also, this isn't about sex as much as it about power - he was forcing himself on women via photographs and reveling in the feeling that he could get away with it. Something like the sense of power a rapist feels. <br /><br />He is being defiant to the end. Of course, he knows nothing BUT being a career politician. That tells me that his "rehab" really isn't that sincere. He's just trying to get the heat off and save his career some how, some way. <br /><br />I've seen so many of these cases where the wife stands by the philanderer with a deer in the headlights look (except Hillary, who did not react the way a normal wife would)Then the philanderer goes on about how his wife's love is getting him through this tough time, etc. etc. while the media fawns about how "supportive" and "forgiving" she is. <br /><br />I STILL find it interesting that Mrs. Huma Weiner has remained in the Emirates on the job this whole time. Again, that doesn't bode well for Weiner.Alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764752508206031685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-62103550421007513152011-06-12T10:08:41.625-05:002011-06-12T10:08:41.625-05:00Maybe Weiner will resign now:

Will Weiner's health insurance pay for that rehab? I wouldn't be surprised!

What could be the reason? I'd bet there are people in his own district that ask legitimate political questions that could not get this kind of personal communication from him. My wife is a teacher and they are strictly warned against befriending students on any of these internet social outlets for a good reason. If kids need something, they communicate it in the classroom or the parents contact the teacher. <br /><br />Weiner is just stupid or he deluded himself into thinking that because he was a congressman, he was powerful and untouchable. He was pretty arrogant and I could see how this would carry that over onto his internet activities. But he made his own mess - only a fool sends out lewd pictures of themselves on the internet to strangers. That alone indicates to me that he has a screw loose. <br /><br />Saying that I think he should resign if nothing else to try and heal his family.
