Anthony Weiner owes the American people in general, and his constituents in New York in particular, nothing at all.

 

Here’s what he owes us: his commitment to defend the Constitution of the United States, and represent the interests of his district.  His Tweets have violated neither of these responsibilities.

 

Likewise, former Speaker and current Republican candidate for President Newt Gingrich owes the American voter no apology for his infidelities.  His failure to commit to his wives should not disqualify him from serious consideration for president.

 

All we should ask of our elected officials that they do the job we elect them for.  We don’t elect them to be arbiters of sexual morality, so it’s silly for them to expose their sex lives to us.

 

We need to hold our elected officials to a higher standard.  Expecting them to resign and apologize to us for their sexual indiscretions holds them to a lower standard.
