I attack the material because the 'source' is bogus. If it weren't, as we've pointed out so often, Fox News would be all over every salacious point you apparently revel in trying to make.
I've never defended Weiner's behavior, but he paid with his resignation.
See you Weiner and raise you this asshole. I have dozens and dozens of GOP examples. If you want to keep this up, you'll get a chance to read about most of them. Bet you this guy had a better shot at still higher political office than Weiner.
By the way, were you all over Roy Moore, Denny Hastert, Mark Foley noted GOPER pedophiles?
How about 'wide stance' Senator Larry Craig?
That WOULD require a single standard, so consider yourself let off with rhetorical questions.
Lastly, the reason it galls liberals and independents that you self-righteous righties are continually lecturing the rest of us on proper moral behavior is because the politicians you support don't practice what you and they preach.
Y'all need to learn how to walk your talk or just STFU on this particular subject.

Missouri’s Governor, a Rising G.O.P. Star, Resigns Amid Scandal

Eric Greitens was a decorated Navy SEAL who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, the founder of a veterans’ charity in Missouri and a Rhodes scholar. Chiseled and charismatic, he was elected governor of Missouri and seen by his fellow Republicans as a potential superstar in the party, someone with the brains and political instincts to perhaps rise all the way to the White House.
But on Tuesday, Mr. Greitens abruptly resigned, more than four months into a scandal involving a sexual relationship with his former hairdresser and claims that he had taken an explicit photograph of her without her permission. He was also accused by prosecutors of misusing his charity’s donor list for political purposes.
Defiant but somber, Mr. Greitens, who was voted into office in 2016, insisted that he had committed no crimes or “any offense worthy of this treatment.” He described “legal harassment of colleagues, friends and campaign workers” and said “it’s clear that for the forces that oppose us that there is no end in sight.”
“This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family,” Mr. Greitens said. He added: “I cannot allow those forces to continue to cause pain and difficulty to the people that I love.”
It was both a shocking end to his governorship and a kind of catharsis for the Missouri Republican Party after a grinding spring of allegations, criminal charges, angry denials and court proceedings involving Mr. Greitens.
The scandal had spread far beyond the governor, threatening to sink the chances of another prominent Missouri Republican, Josh Hawley, the attorney general, who is expected to face a tight Senate race against Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat. (On Tuesday, Mr. Hawley applauded Mr. Greitens for doing “the right thing today.”)
For months, the governor had defiantly refused to resign, even as a Republican-dominated legislative committee investigated him, read aloud for the record a lurid and lengthy account of his behavior and warned that impeachment was possible.
For Republicans, the prospect of an end to all of it brought a measure of relief.
“There’s not going to be this constant battle going on, this dragging people through the mud,” said State Representative Kathie Conway, a Republican who for months had suggested that Mr. Greitens resign. “But I think that there’s still so much healing to do.”
Mr. Greitens’s resignation will take effect on Friday. Lt. Gov. Michael L. Parson, a Republican from rural southwestern Missouri, who previously served as a sheriff and state senator and is seen as having longstanding alliances with state lawmakers, will take over for the rest of Mr. Greitens’s term, which ends in January 2021.
