Alternate title: The Continuing Humiliation of Huma Abedin
Anthony Weiner admits sexting continued after 2011 resignation from Congress
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal, admitted Tuesday that his shenanigans continued even after he stepped down.
“Some of these things happened before my resignation. Some of them happened after,” Weiner said at a press conference where he apologized to his wife, Huma Abedin, who is an aide to Hillary Clinton.
In her first public remarks on the scandal, Abedin said her husband’s indiscretions were “between us and our marriage.”
“I love him. I have forgiven him. I believe in him and, as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward,” she said.
Weiner issued a statement after a gossip website called The Dirty published an interview with an anonymous woman who claimed she had an online relationship with him between July and November 2012.
“I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have,” said Weiner, who has been leading some polls for the Democratic nomination for mayor but is now facing calls from opponents to drop out of the race.
“As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress,” he said.
“While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me.”
It’s official: Weiner is still a dick.
Early prediction: He’ll still be the next mayor of NYC.
The Crawdad Hole 
There was a time when I would have said that private sexual behavior is irrelevant to a candidate’s qualifications. But I have learned that character matters.
OTOH – I don’t think we should snoop into their private lives. But if you cheat on your wife you take your chances with it going public.
A guy who posts semi-nude photos of himself doesn’t show much commonsense. I think that does play into whether I’d vote for him. A woman who ran a successful prostitution ring might get my vote.
I wonder if he really believed that the camera makes it look bigger?
It adds at least 10 pounds.
remember to subtract for the combover.
It’s only temporary.
That’s what they say about insanity.
I can return to sanity any time I want to.
but will sanity return to you?
Serenity now!
has anyone given her the old family recipe of ground glass and shaved bamboo shoots in his food. He should be very careful what he eats from now on
Or possibly this old saw:
The wife accompanied her husband to the doctor’s office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone.
“Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don’t follow this regimen, your husband will soon die.
In the morning fix him a healthy breakfast.
Be pleasant all the time.
Make him a nutritious lunch.
And a healthy dinner is essential.
He needs to cut back on chores.
He can’t help out with problems right not, it will only make him worse.
Nagging will shorten his lifespan.
And most importantly, be agreeable in the romance department several times a week.
These are essential for the next year or so for your husband to completely regain his health.”
On the way home, the husband asked his wife. “What did the doctor say?” “He said you’re going to die,” she replied.

I love “Vote for a winner, not a wiener”.
Reposting this from downstairs.
This is the problem with the whole Weiner campaign:
Sorry, hon, but this shit happened two years ago. By definition, that is NOT a very long time. He pulled the trigger too quickly, but I would expect that of a man of his caliber and appetites. What do the people of NYC think he’ll do in office? I’ll tell you. He’ll fuck anything that moves and came of drinking age within the last two years.
You should have put the period after “moves”.

this sounds like a really interesting book. when we were discussing learning history the other day this book would fit right in
If you follow the links to his “Carlos Danger” conversations there is a part in there where he tells the girl he’s talking to he’d like to grab her by the throat.
Clearly he’s a pervert, but it sounds like he has violent tendencies too.
The winner of the internets.
They both said in previous interviews that he stopped after the resignation. That it’s behind them. Clearly they both lied. What an ass. Wonder if any of his victims have sued.
Not victims, sext partners.
Was he broadcasting from a men’s room? Looks like Larry Craig peeking over from the next stall
I’ve seen that look before. It didn’t turn out well.
LOL
9 months too late.
“Marry in haste, repent at leisure.”
57 months too late. Obama has done wonders for the Republican brand. Too bad I can’t say the same for what the Republicans have done for the Republican brand.

best part: “another Anthony Weiner sexting scandal erupted”…

He’s a creepy, narcissistic sex maniac who obviously thinks the rules don’t apply to him — but if that us what the people of NYC want, they’ll get what they deserve. As I’ve said many times on here: stupid done wrong seems to be what the majority wants these days.
Exactly what I’ve been thinking. New York City being what it is, they deserve him.
Laughing stocks of the country. Go for it, NY.

The problem is the people who have jobs can’t afford to give them up. We need some kind of public service corpse.
Yep. Lots of stuff needs built and fixed. I’d go for that.
Fire prevention in lots of places, cutting brush and making fire breaks. Repairing dikes, creeks and canals. Cleaning up trash.
I still say we should have a FEMA disaster corps kinda like the military except without weapons. People who can go in and do rescues, set up shelters, kitchens and field hospitals.
How about a Peace Corps for our inner cities?
I thought Obama was the public service corpse.
Echoes of John Paul.
George and Ringo never get enough credit.
Caught some of this in teh car tonight – good speech
In their defense, the Democrats do seem to have a lot of fun.
Dem men have a lot of fun, Dem women try to act stupid and make excuses.
I love the smell of cognitive dissonance in the morning.

irregular migrants – constipated and looking for an outhouse?
Or oddly shaped.
It’s official: Weiner is still a dick.
Film at 11 😉
My rule is:
If you’re already in office, them I will judge whether the offense is so severe it warrants getting you thrown out – no matter who might replace you.
If you’re not in office yet, well then, I have other options and you’re toast.

Bah, let’s see all you Danger-wannabes top THIS dude!
I just copied that in Quicktime and will be merging it with a Weiner campaign ad.
Thanks for the material,

De nada, amigo.
