20. Wasn't there a cover-up involving the initial Weinergate?

And that's why Weiner had to resign? It is almost never the "morality" issue but the ensuing cover-up that brings the problems.

For the most part, I don't care about infidelity or sex scandals but I do care about lying/covering them up.

As far as Weiner is concerned, if I were a NY'er I wouldn't vote for him. He's shown an incredible lack of judgement and care when it comes to having a scandal-free career in politics and I doubt his capacity for good judgement.
