And at the same time, let's be thankful that most (but apparently not all) DUers are quite so prudish.

Now wait just a minute..........isnt Anthony Wiener in prison right now??? a kennedy Nov 2017 #17

yes. That is in fact the difference. onenote Nov 2017 #47

And prior to that, he had to resign from Congress for sexting with adults. LisaL Nov 2017 #51

Right. He was married and was sexting several of his twitter followers onenote Nov 2017 #54

Barton was still officially married, if you read his apology. LisaL Nov 2017 #58

Sorry that we're not in such prudish world where individuals who are separated can't date. onenote Nov 2017 #59

But you had to point out that Weiner was married. LisaL Nov 2017 #60

So I'll point out the obvious: Barton was separated. Weiner was pretending to be happily married. onenote Nov 2017 #65

oh come on people! Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #24

Are you suggesting there is somebody out there that actually wanted to see that? LisaL Nov 2017 #25

YES! Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #26

Lets ask the women he send this too, if they actually wanted to see this. LisaL Nov 2017 #28

We'll see if it comes up that it was unwanted, but everything seems to be that it was Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #31

Weiner didn't go to jail over "adult" sexting. n/t PoliticAverse Nov 2017 #40

But he resigned over just that-sexting with adults. LisaL Nov 2017 #43

I'm with you on this. femmedem Nov 2017 #35

Supposedly there is a video. If you believe twitter. LisaL Nov 2017 #37

A segment can't help but to body shame Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #41

Thank you emulatorloo Nov 2017 #56

Weiner was married at the time he sexted adults onenote Nov 2017 #52

So was Barton according to his own admission. LisaL Nov 2017 #66

You do understand that people who are separate often begin dating before a divorce becomes final onenote Nov 2017 #67

I'd love to see that poll Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #70

I'd like to see what his church says about that. LisaL Nov 2017 #76

Hopefully they condemn him for it. And hopefully, DUers differ from his church. onenote Nov 2017 #88

Given that he's been married twice and had sex with other women, yes and obviously so mythology Nov 2017 #89

I agree. IF it was solicited or otherwise understood that the receiver wanted the picture... phleshdef Nov 2017 #33

And that should be the default position Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #36

I'm skinny and middle aged and would look like a jack ass if I sent a dick pic. phleshdef Nov 2017 #42

I think it's news because it circulated online & may cost him his job. MelissaB Nov 2017 #44

Apparently it shouldn't be, if you listen to some here. LisaL Nov 2017 #46

My philosophy at this point: It's politics and Republicans nail us to the wall for being reasonable MelissaB Nov 2017 #63

So, become just as bad as them. No high road. No sticking to principles. Play dirty, become dirty. Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #74

It's the hypocrisy maybe, not the naked pics, but even that's a stretch. hunter Nov 2017 #98

Read through a lot of the replies in this thread and elsewhere. It's not the hypocrisy Blue_Adept Nov 2017 #99

I agree. hunter Nov 2017 #100

Exactly! It's the hypocrisy. MelissaB Nov 2017 #108
