My thought on Weiner is that he is a very busy man. Like most, although not all, politicians, he probably spends a great deal of time going to meetings, raising campaign funds and seizing upon every opportunity to remind people of how great he is as a public servant and a human being. It's exhausting. He exists under a constant pressure cooker of self-analysis and public appraisal. Like other politicians, he needs something to take the edge off. For some people, regardless of occupation, that could mean booze, drugs, gambling, food or shopping. For high functioning men like Weiner and other officials who have lived through such scandals, who are constantly on the go, that leaves one tried and true source of a reliable high. The affirmation that comes when someone lets you know they want to sleep with you. Or even cyber-sleep with you. - Alec Baldwin, HuffPo



While Weiner is clearly a bit of a dick (or at least a considerable portion of him is), I have to agree with Alec Baldwin on this. Unless we want our future leaders to be exclusively socially inept Billy-No-Mates who never get invited to the party - never mind photographed 'n' tagged at one - we'll have to be a little more sophisticated about our attitudes to politicians, their private lives, and social media.

I'd have to agree with MDF too. It's unfortunate that people's private lives are put under this kind of scrutiny.
