The Internet Never Forgets

Like most people, I was shocked when Anthony Weiner admitted to showing extremely poor judgement in a sexting incident. However, after resignation and rehab; it seemed like he was ready to redeem himself and re-enter the public space, maybe. Then new scandals came out. What is so bizarre about this is the risk and reward of the equation, it is as if the man has a naughty typing fetish. This typing fetish seems to mean more to him than his family, career, or the trust placed in him by his former and potential constituents. Are there support groups for this? What is the payoff? The internet never forgets, and although painful, I think that this will help people to be more honest and accountable. On the other hand, alot of otherwise good people that want to run for public office, might not because of what they posted on Facebook when they were 28. Just sayin'
