Politics don't interest everyone; however, the sensation of a public servant's personal life entangled with his public responsibilities is keeping many glued to news reports.

Recent revelation of New York Representative Anthony Wiener's sexting habits and tweets have been flooding news channels for about 2 weeks now.

Beginning on May 27, inappropriate photos of the 46-year-old circulated on Twitter after being sent to a young woman.

Further investigation showed that Wiener was involved with several women during his internet rendezvous, one of whom - as discovered last Friday - was a 17-year-old girl from Delaware.

He initially denied any association, then later confessed.

The majority of Democratic House Representatives as well as President Obama suggest that Wiener resign.

"When you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can't serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs and their mortgages and paying the bills, then you should probably step back," Obama stated during an interview with NBC.

Wiener is not the first government official whose decadent acts have become exposed in recent years or months, for that matter. Eliot Spitzer, former New York Governor, resigned after his relations with various prostitutes were publicized in 2008 and former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey resigned after a scandal surrounding his homosexual affair in 2004.

Only last month, it was revealed that former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger carried out an adulterous relationship with his housekeeper, leading him to father a child outside of wedlock.

Risa Heller, Wiener's spokesperson, stated that Wiener is seeking help through a psychological treatment center so that he may be a "better husband and healthier person."

Could counseling be the proper tool for management? Let's hope it has some lasting effect. In the meantime, it might be less vexatious for viewers to follow their favorite TV series.
