Maybe because of that, I'm surprised at the ganging up on Weiner, especially by his own party. His tweets and emails are kind of creepy but people have done much worse. So it must be about the lying -- but they all lie (or so many of them as to seem like it is all of them).
I don't care at all about Weiner -- just curious whether there is some clear line the pols are drawing where they will push someone to resign on one side and defend if on the other side. Or is it all random?

It's not random, it's strategic. His colleagues clearly see greater value in pushing him to resign than in keeping him around. Part of that is because he will be replaced by a Dem anyway.
