He's at it again. Fool.
Anthony Weiner held a press conference Tuesday afternoon to acknowledge new sexting reports and continue his candidacy for mayor of New York City.
"These things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through many challenges in our marriage," Weiner said. "With 49 days left until primary day, I'm surprised that more things didn't come out sooner."
The announcement follows claims made on the nightlife website "The Dirty" allegedly showing sex chats Weiner engaged in with an anonymous 22-year-old woman.
During the conference, Weiner admitted some of the conversations went on both before and after his resignation from congress in 2011.
His wife, Huma Abedin, was also present at Tuesday's announcement and spoke for the first time publicly about Weiner's sexting scandal and urged the public to move forward.
"It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony," Abedin said.
Prior to the 5 p.m. news conference, Weiner released a statement regarding the report:
I’ve been in contact with a young female girl who wishes to remain Anonymous. She was lured by Anthony Weiner post scandal via Facebook. They had a relationship for 6 months and she believed they were in love. Anthony Weiner like a true sex predator promised Anonymous many things like a job at Politico and a condo in Chicago (a place they could meet up and have sex). The relationship consisted of Anthony Weiner and Anonymous sending sexually explicit pictures of each other and having sexual conversations via phone.
His statement is creepy. I even question why he would say that.

I would vote for this creep. He has demonstrated he had poor judgement. He can't even conduct himself in a respectable manner. He's gross.

Weiner's pretty much blown his shot.
I really don't really care about the sex lives of politicians or public figures.
But, he's demonstrated such stupidity in the process. The man should not be in charge of a major city.
IMO.

Maybe he thought he would be embraced by NYC like Marion Barry was in Washington D.C. Barry is a true failure as a person. Weiner is not that far behind.

I'm sure there are those New Yorkers who are eager to swallow what Weiner is offering.

You know, not much surprises me with politics any more.
Weiner getting erected...I mean elected, probably isn't such a stretch.
It's a mad world.

I can't believe he keeps jerking his constituency and his wife, along.
He was actually using the screen name: "Carlos Danger".

I never understood how Barry was able to make a come back. It's not like he had an affair. He was whacked out and committing crimes while in office.
Looks like his crimes have changed, but he's still a fraud.
Weird how the public forgives some for major transgressions while frying others for what seem like rather minor infractions.

HotD, I put Barry in the same column as OJ. Embraced and excused by blacks thumbing their noses at the white establishment.

Just came across this.
If Governor Cuomo is correct in his assessment, New Yorkers really may support the second coming of Weiner, no matter how much stupidity he displays.
Snip:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the comeback bids of Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer are "great theater" -- and the Democrat apparently means that as a compliment.
Weiner and Spitzer -- both Democrats like Cuomo -- resigned from political office after sex scandals. Both are now leading or near the top of political polls for their respective New York City races, mayor and comptroller.
"It is great theater. It's great political theater," Cuomo told CBS News. "It's part of the charm of New York. We tend to have the eccentric. We tend to have the entertaining. And this is a little political theater and I think that's all people think of it. I don't think they think anything more of it."

It's already been established that I am a hypocrite in some regards - I don't know why anyone would want to vote for someone who has been so dumb as to get caught not once but twice & his bitch is standing by her man. *barf*
