"It is so disrespectful of women. And what's really stunning about it is that they don't even realize it," the first woman speaker of the House told news hounds at a presser Thursday. "They don't even have a clue. If they are clueless, get a clue. If they need therapy, get it in private."
Weiner served six terms in Congress before resigning in 2011 after tweeting pictures of his privates to women online. This week, a blog called "The Dirty" revealed that Weiner had continued the behavior, sending sexually explicit messages under the pseudonym "Carlos Danger" nearly a year after he left Congress and a few months after his son was born. Weiner addressed the issue in a presser this week, but said he had warned upon his resignation that such information would come forth.

a third woman came forward this week to accuse Filner, Pelosi's former Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, colleague, of sexual harassment. Filner, who left Congress in 2012 after 10 years to run for mayor of San Diego, has refused to resign, saying only that he has "failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me." He has also admitted, "I need help."
Pelosi has previously refused to weigh in on Filner's actions until now, though she told news hounds last week, "Don't identify him as my former colleague."
