The people of New York are not being screwed by this AFAIK - or did I miss something where New York is being levied an extra tax in 2012 for having a senator who tweeted penis pictures? Weiner resigned, the people pick someone new, government moves along. It's not really comparable.
And since you use "no reason to suspect"
If you spend all your time cultivating the animosity of the population at large, you should have every reason to suspect that someone would have a secret desire of screwing you over and get joy out of it. His personality shouldn't play into this, but if you're going to play that card, it does.
