Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY 9) admitted to sending lewd pictures of himself to several women over the Internet yesterday afternoon. He also fessed up to lying all of last week to not only reporters, but his own constituents, which creates a situation where his district can no longer trust him.
That is why he should resign from office immediately.
When you are sent to Washington by your neighbors - a certain amount of trust exists between you the representative in Congress and the cititzenry back home. We expect you to mostly represent our interests, remain faithful to your spouse and not make us look like complete fools for electing you in the first place.
Anthony Weiner broke that trust.
He not only sent inappropriate messages and pictures to women while married, but he insulted his 9th district electorate by repeatedly telling them bold faced lies about his scandal for ten days while embarrassing them in the process when he finally admitted the truth.
The Congressman has no moral choice but to resign from Congress and save his constituents, and wife, from further shame because of his unbecoming actions.
What say you?
