Of course this guy was negligent with confidential information, and his denials to the contrary show the characteristics of what makes the typical American politician of today: obfuscating, self-righteous and attacking others for their own inadequacy. Instead of coming out and clearing up the matter, he makes claims that others manipulated the photo, describing it as an "hoax" and "prank" yet refusing to get the police involved for hacking into his personal files and disseminating pornographic material.

The latest news that Weiner had been following a young woman on Twitter who didn't even know him adds a special spin to this sordid tale.
