It's becoming very possible that Weiner will join the long list of New York/New Jersey politicians who have done themself in with really stupid sexual behavior. I think he may have done irreparable damage with his first "press conference" in which he refused to answer any direct question, and in fact called one of the reporters a "jackass" (as SB already mentioned).

I like Weiner. I like his politics and his feisty style. He came out of my former distict in Brooklyn and I spoke to him a few times when he started his career as a member of the city council. He was very personable and seemed genuinely involved with his work. I DON'T like what I'm seeing now.
