Everyone in the story did something wrong.
Having bad taste in romantic partners shouldn't lose someone their job.

She's not some teenybopper putting Girls Gone Wild'esque pictures up on Facebook and then wondering why they're not getting hired.

I don't buy the "she was asking for it, look how she was dressed!" response.
It's just as problematic as the people begging to see the pics in question.

It's also really telling that not only is the guy at fault not mentioned by name, but they author of the article saw fit to mention that Lopez is a single mom.

But she wasn't wearing anything...that's the issues.

She made a poor choice by sending them, he made a stupid choice to spread them around. He deserves some form of punishment, and his name shouldn't be kept in the dark.

Although, did they ever release the name of the lady who got pictures of Weiner's....um....weiner?

According to the article the pictures did not break any decency laws, which says to me that IF she was nude, nothing was showing. So it was probably her in a various state of undress.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did. Especially seeing as those shots were posted to her via his public twitter account. That's how he got caught. And yeah...I think it's crap he was forced to step down as well.

Also...Shut up Cybercubed.
Wait, did he work in the department, too? I might have missed that in the article. If so, then, yes, he should be punished as well for sending out the photos.

Umm. Usually the phrase "if you know what I mean" follows some sort of innuendo that could conceivably be misconstrued by definition. So. Yeah.
