The video at the link has to be watched. He's definitely a master politician. As predicted by Anthony Weiner himself, the sex scandal that led to his 2011 resignation from Congress would become an issue during his mayoral campaign. And a series of lewd texts and photos revealed Tuesday has forced Weiner to ask New Yorkers to "give him another chance." In a news conference late Tuesday afternoon, Weiner read a statement apologizing for his behavior and he repeated, as he has done since he jumped into the New York City mayoral race in May, that he and his wife, Huma Abedin, are "moving forward." Abedin, who to this point had not spoken about the scandal during Weiner's mayoral campaign, told reporters that she "strongly" believes this scandal is "between us" and added, "I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward." Weiner opened the press conference saying, "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," adding, "I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused." Weiner, a Democrat, responded to a report of newly-discovered explicit online messages to an unidentified woman. The woman told the blog The Dirty that the exchange continued through August 2012, but Weiner repeatedly refused to comment on the timing, simply suggesting it happened after his June 2011 resignation from Congress. In 2011, Weiner accidentally tweeted photos of his crotch to his Twitter followers, but claimed he'd been hacked. He'd mistakenly sent a lewd message to his followers that was intended to be private. He ultimately admitted to having "inappropriate" online relationships with several women and resigned that June. "I'm surprised more things hadn't come out sooner," Weiner said Tuesday. "Things aren't that much different than they were yesterday." "I said there were more things out there," he continued. "We went through this process and worked through some of these challenges and we put it behind us." In May, he announced he would seek the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor, embarking not only on a political campaign but also an apology tour. Recent polls have shown support among NYC Democrats for his bid, though his former congressional colleagues have either endorsed other candidates or stayed silent. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57595165/anthony-weiner-give-me-another-chance/ |

Why are we so up in arms about what consenting adults do with their genitals? |

Because politicians are supposed to exercise maturity, common sense, and honesty. If he can't show maturity or use common sense or honesty in his private life why should the voters expect him to do either in his political life? This guy is acting like a pubescent boy with a new camera phone. Personally, I wouldn't want him running my city.

The Rethugs are now just setting traps and letting the Dems fall in. All they have to do is identify what their Achilles Heel is (usually sexual), and set out the bait. |

Huma Abedin Faces Backlash For Defending Anthony Weiner Amid Sexting Scandal NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, has been hit with a widespread backlash after standing by her husband as he admitted to another sexting scandal. Back in 2011 when a heckled, harried Weiner resigned from Congress and apologized for the explicit text messages that had destroyed his career, his then-pregnant wife was notably absent. But when the latest sexting allegations against Weiner surfaced Tuesday, Abedin was right there at his side.

Does she want to get into politics like Hillary, so take all the abuse their spouse they dish out ? Poll at link |

My armchair analysis is that for some reason he feels emasculated, and needs to keep brandishing his rather impressive manhood to people. Maybe Huma is a ball-breaker behind the scenes? Nothing happening in the bedroom? |
