I believe Representative Wiener is a highly intelligent and articulate man. I found him to be an excellent spokesman for many of my beliefs. Should he resign? I answer with a definite no. Should Representative Wiener run for office in 2012. Again I answer with a definite no.

Nothing is gained from Wiener resigning his seat. If there was another election, then that election will draw attention away from the issues of the budget and unemployment, harming the country. However, in 2012 the last thing I want is a discussion of Wiener's incredibly poor judgment. I do not want to see his position on spending cuts and taxes branded with the poor judgment of sexting. I wonder if Wiener is living in a bubble and has not heard of how once on the Internet always on the Internet. I wonder how could an otherwise intelligent man do something we warn our children not to do. Do not take suggestive pictures of yourself and send them on a cell phone or place those pictures on the Internet. How can the guy be so stupid?

And then there is the lie. If Wiener had simply admitted, I am an ass hole for sending this and other pictures, then I would have felt he possibly could have run for reelection. But to lie about such a stupid issue to the press, ranks right up there with dumb and dumber. Why oh why didn't Wiener realize that anyone but a network expert can easily be caught in such a lie? Yeah Breitbart is a flaming douche bag, but for Wiener to somehow believe his lie would not be seen through is nuts. The whole thing with Wiener admitting that this may be a picture of him, but he didn't know when he damn well knew is incredible.

Next there is the "full responsibility" bull crap. All he had to say was what he did and that he was a stupid ass hole for doing it. Did Wiener think anyone else was somehow partially responsible for Wiener's admitted actions? Of course he is fully responsible. Who else could be? Certainly his staff weren't. Certainly his wife wasn't.

Finally there is apology bull crap. Yes he owes us and the press an apology for lying about this. Yes he owes us an apology for being so stupid and acting in a stupid way. He does not owe his wife a public apology. To somehow think a public apology to his wife is adequate or necessary somehow strains his credibility to the breaking point.

Bottom line to Wiener is stay in the House; keep your mouth shut; and do not run for reelection.
