Weiner Did Send An Unsolicited Photo Of His Junk To Someone-

[KittyWampus]

Furthermore, he screwed up and ended up texting photos of his crotch to the world.

Cordova, the 21-year-old who received an allegedly unsolicited photo of an (ahem) erect Weiner in his boxers, withdrew from school and moved from Seattle to New York. The story, she told the Times, “has followed her across the country.”

1. The more I think about Weiner, the more I condemn his behavior

I don't give a shit if anyone jeers at me for being a prude. It has jackshit to do with prudishness. Aside from that I think it's pertinent that his actions demonstrate that his judgment is exceedingly poor and that he has no impulse control, I think his behavior is a legitimate area for criticism. From a feminist viewpoint, I think his behavior exhibits that he has no respect for women. I also think that doing this crap in his Congressional office shows a frivolous disregard for his office.
And doing the same thing right after he was caught and had to resign? That makes me think the guy has some serious loose screws.

4. Twenty Second Tony in nothing but a joke anymore.

I was absolutely amazed that he was running for Mayor and leading in the polls. Sending those unsolicited pics to that young woman should have ended his fifteen minutes.

5. Imagine this as the new standard for passable behavior

Absurd. Wtfu people.

7. The whole "prude, moralist" thing is sick

Some civil-libertarian, privacy, sexual freedom, anti-moralism folks are highly principled.

Some are just arrested adolescents.

The Weiner case is really bringing some of the second type out of the woodwork.

Weiner really is the Lindsay Lohan of the Democratic Party. You don't ned to have an intrusive moralistic attitude toward alcohol to think that Ms. Lohan ought not be entrusted with much responsibility.

Weiner is free to do whatever he wants (until he gets arrested, because he will eventually send unsolicited Dick Pix to a twelve year-old unwittingly) but is plainly not the best person for a job of public trust.

That doesn't mean he is the worst person for a responsible job. But "not the worst" isn't the standard.

And the "private life" thing is hilarious. My private life is private precisely because my non-existant publicist hasn't sought out PEOPLE magazine to do a story "Inside cthulu2016's Private Life" to advance my political career. If your diseased marriage isn't news then your healthy marriage isn't news either. Duh.

9. Agreed

His behavior cost him his congressional seat and probably his whole political career and the fact that he's still doing it shows he has serious issues. It's obviously a compulsion and not his wife or having a son to think about is enough for him stop. He doesn't need to hold any political office, the only thing he should be thinking about now, is getting himself into a treatment program for some intensive therapy.

12. Agree, but

dropping out of school and moving cross country because someone sent you a penis pic? That's a bit extreme too.

15. She was hounded by critics and supporters alike

I wouldn't want my privacy invaded like that because some guy sent me dick pictures I didn't ask for.

17. What's the precise relevance of her actions and her decisions in relation to his actions?

"That's a bit extreme too...."

What's the precise relevance of her actions and her decisions in relation to his actions?

[karynnj]

19. Her reaction was to the situation that she faced due to his action

She didn't ask for any of that notoriety and it negatively affected her life.

[woolldog]

21. huh?

who said there was a "precise relevance"?

[Aerows]

13. How is it being a prude if you don't want

unsolicited pictures of someone's genitals?

Most folks could get as many of those as they want because they aren't prudes. Not wanting to see someones bits because they get off on flashing you with them without your permission is not prudery, it's called lack of decorum and sexual harrassment.

16. He's a narcissistic pervert with very poor judgment. nt

[Yo_Mama]

20. Can you imagine if he did this as mayor?

Think of the sexual harassment charges!

He's got a problem, and it would be a public problem if he held public office.

2. There's already more than enough junk mail out there, Anthony

Easy there, fella...

[KittyWampus]

3. WIN!

[Aerows]

10. LOL!

DUzy!

6. I can't wait for the "Texts from Weiner" meme (as in "Texts from Hillary").

[kestrel91316]

8. UNSOLICITED explicit emails/pics are a huge no-no. Career-endingly bad behavior,

if not criminal.

Solicited pics are his private business.

What a maroon.

11. link and quote

Cordova, who had text-messaged with Weiner about their shared concern over his conservative critics, said she never had sent him anything provocative. Asked if she was taken aback by Weiner's decision to send the photo, she responded, "Oh gosh, yes."

14. that was when he accidently posted the pic in the first place...

which she never saw.

but yes, he still technically sent an unsolicited pic, which he also technically sent to everyone.

[JI7]

18. i remember this, i think he meant to send it to the porn star he was texting with

but ended up sending it to the wrong person.

at least that's what one of his supporters on here said.
