Yes. He is a disgrace and he is disgusting.

He has no character, no morals, and no shame.

Yes, because he's horrible at lying. And even worse at covering it up. He is politician FAIL.

He lied, he instructed others to lie for him and he used his staff to attempt a cover up of his pathetic lies. He'll be gone by Friday if he's smart, it's gonna take some time to work out the details of his divorce.

It might be wise to do out of respect for his family to put an end to it, but as of now, I don't see a legal reason. They may find that he used government resources to do this, which would add a little pressure.

Default the Democrat Party is protecting him, because he is a hero to their cause.

No. And this is stupid. Nobody should resign over their private life if they haven't broken any laws. Utter ridiculousness. Who should be ashamed are the people who think the line of questioning Congressman Weiner has been subjected to is appropriate and anybody's business. If conservatives want to make private, legal sexual indiscretions an issue for their representatives that's their problem. It's so obvious why the right wing has to dwell and drudge up anything they can on democrat sex lives: It's because they know they can't win the political argument. They have to get someone in a corner so they feel compelled to lie about sex and not any real violation of the law and so they get him on the lying part. I'm tired of these idiots.

So I really don't give a **** what he did in his private life as long as he didn't break any laws. I'm glad he lied. I'm glad Clinton lied too. Good. I applaud it. It's none of anyone's business. Private life questions should be automatically off limits. Period. And that goes for conservatives who've had sexual indiscretions that didn't violate laws too. You want to make it news? Go open up a tabloid rag and peddle your "scandals" to the uneducated masses.
