Beyond scandal culture
If you dig deep enough on anyone you can find scandalous dirt. The current scandal-obsessed culture is a tool for the unscrupulous to assassinate politicians they dislike. The public needs to stop giving a fuck about politicians' sex lives and personal lives if they want to have a government that serves the public's interests rather than the interests of those who would invade the privacy of elected officials through unscrupulous or illegal means. The public needs to get over its primitive taboo morality based on bronze age myths.

In the particular case of Anthony Weiner, it is known that conservative activists created fake profiles of young women to try to seduce Weiner (premeditated revenge porn). We don't know if the actual leaks came from such sources. But whether it's just plain revenge porn or premeditated revenge porn it's far worse than sexting and the people who leaked Weiner's photos are horrible people.
