"U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who has been under fire after admitting to inappropriate communications with women online, has decided to seek treatment "to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person," his spokeswoman said Saturday.
While the New York congressman seeks treatment at an undisclosed location, he will take a "short leave of absence" from Congress, Risa Heller said in a statement."

DISCUSSION
Hey ladies - how do you judge a political wife who stays with her husband through a sex scandal? Personally, I want her to drop his cheating asses the second she finds out about the infidelity, and I get annoyed when they "stand by their man." But perhaps I'm thinking more along the lines of what I want for women's rights as a whole, and less about what each individual wife wants for her marriage. If progress for women's rights is about choice, then perhaps I should learn to respect women like Huma, and their choice to stick with their husbands.
