Ethics case for Weiner? Maybe a psychiatrist is needed. - Jim Dwyer - NY Times

Let's try to think this through. Just what did Anthony Weiner do that is wrong - besides acting like an awkward adolescent? Has he broken any laws? Should he quit because he has embarrassed himself and his Party? Seems to me Jim Dwyer has got it right. And now so has Weiner who has checked himself into some sort of Tiger-Wodds type psycho- sexual fat farm. - GWC
Ethics Case for Weiner? Maybe One of Psychiatry - NYTimes.com:
by Jim Dwyer
"The matter of Anthony D. Weiner, unclothed congressman, is being lodged by Democratic Party elders with the House ethics committee, a holding room where it will remain until either it, or he, goes away.
Those elders must be hoping to heaven that Mr. Weiner departs before the machinery of investigation is gassed up and rumbles toward the Internet Protocol addresses where he composed his epistles.

By some schools of thought, if he wrote these personal messages on government equipment, this could be seen as unethical behavior.

Still, ethics hardly seems the right discipline for this affair.

Psychiatry might help."
