Very O/T but Pelosi and other Dem leaders are now calling on Weiner to resign..

Curious to see what everyone here's thoughts are--if any--on this. Love Nancy Pelosi but she is wrong on this, IMO. Weiner broke no laws and it really has nothing to do with his representation. It should be up to the NY voters. They will vote next year and can even petition for a special election if they are so outraged that they can't bear to wait until then (though recent polls of his district would suggest otherwise..). America is way too hung up on the personal lives of its politicos, in my view!:

If Weiner has to go, I want to see people like Vitter go, too. Such a double standard!

I get the pressure Pelosi and others are feeling to respond to this, I do. But I disagree.
