Tuesday Open Line


Seems all the buzz surrounds Mr. Weiner’s admission that he did send naughty pictures to a 21 year old college girl.  I did enjoy listening to some of his entertaining speeches on the floor in the past, but does this necessitate people calling for his resignation?  He did lie about it outright, but maintains that he did nothing illegal.  Even if Weiner’s statements were accurate about no House or legal violations, under the “Official Code of Conduct” for lawmakers and staffers, there is a catch-all clause that has been used to investigate and sometimes punish members. The provision states: “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.”

We welcome your take on this and more on today’s Open Line….
