@failures art,
This country is on the brink of a slip from the position as superpower and this arsehole is showing his private parts online with a video - on his own website, noless. WTF! He should be removed from office and assigned to do REAL public service for one year.
Fercrissakes! Dems ...how much further will you squander political power? Force this guy out of office, will ya?! Ferfucksake!
OK, have I got something wrong here?

"On May 27, 2011, via his Twitter account, Weiner sent a post linking to a sexually explicit photograph of himself wearing gray boxer briefs to a 21-year-old female in Seattle who was "following" him on the social media website, in what some commentators later dubbed Weinergate. Weiner initially said he had not posted the image, and that his account had been "hacked."
Weiner stated that he did not know the woman who received the message. Weiner became embroiled in controversy when he could not say "with certitude" that the photo was not of him and "Maybe it did start being a photo of mine and now looks something different or maybe it is from another account."
Weiner did not ask the FBI or U.S. Capitol Police to investigate the incident, indicating that he had instead retained a private security firm to look into the matter, viewing it as a prank.
On June 6, 2011, Weiner held a press conference at which he said he had lied about the pictures, that "To be clear, the pictures were of me, and I sent them", and apologized. He said he had exchanged graphic photographs with six women over Twitter and Facebook over three years, adding that he had not had a physical relationship with any of them. He said he was "deeply ashamed of my terrible judgment and actions. ... This was a very dumb thing to do." Answering questions, he declined to deny that a published "x-rated" photo was of him. He said that he had his wife's continuing support, and that he did not intend to resign his congressional seat.
That afternoon, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced that there would be an investigation by the House Ethics Committee as to "whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred".
Later that day ABC News reported that a 26-year-old single mother in Texas had shared flirtatious photographs with Weiner, including receiving a photo of his exposed private parts. At his press conference, Weiner admitted that he had exchanged sexts with the woman.
ABC News also reported the identity of another of Weiner's social media contacts, who had exchanged e-mails with Weiner and had received sexually explicit photograph of him in May 2011.
Asked about an allegation that he had engaged in phone sex with an additional internet partner (reported to be a woman in Nevada), Weiner neither confirmed nor denied the statement, saying that although he did not want to impinge on any of his sexting partners' privacy, neither would he contradict any of their specific admissions."
