When will people realize that the sexual persona of a man stands outside his moral character?
I argued this for Clinton. I must argue it now for Weiner as well. The real problem with these politicians is not their extra-marital conduct and the living out of their weird sexual dispositions. Those might be challenging on the level of their partnership relations. What is truly problematic is their way of dealing with it once it had become public. Bill Clinton faced impeached because of his abominable attempts to cover up, distort facts by terminological niceties, and his cowardly lying about it under oath.
The same applies to Weiner’s case. Indeed, his obvious exhibitionist inclinations and efforts to compensate for inferiority feelings concern his wife and probably his psychoanalyst. However, the detestable way of his dealing with media questions, the repulsive conceitedness he demonstrated while putting forth these cheap lies and misrepresentations – those are what declares him unfit for any office of political representation.
Anthony Weiner has to resign and, if he does not, has to be forced out of office by his political peers and his constituency.
