CNN “The Lead’s” political panel with Amy Walter, Cornell Belcher, & Kevin Madden discuss latest news on Weiner, Spitzer.
At a news conference Tuesday evening at Gay Men’s Health Crisis headquarters, an HIV-advocacy organization, in New York City, AnthonyWeiner largely reiterated his earlier statement with his wife, Huma Abedin, by his side. He added that he was “surprised that more things haven’t come out sooner.”
“Things” came out (WARNING GRAPHICALLY) on thedirty.com (EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Weiner SEX Messages Post Scandal With Another Woman, Not Huma Abedin) — website that is localized to major cities, and is usually popular for exposing drug users, cheaters, “dance club whores” and “douche bag guys” that take advantage of women, and cheat on their business partners, etc. It is not often that the website finds a former congressman and mayoral candidate exposed. The alleged Weiner offender (Dangr33 on Formspring aka Carlos Danger) keeps asking his victim(?) “Pathetic?” — as in “am I pathetic?” and apparently some type of passive aggressive sexually predatory luring technique. The formspring.me excerpts are loaded with graphic flirting. Formspring.com displayed a 404 “page not there” for the profile earlier today. It has also showed a Formspring page that reports the profile is protected. Formspring is a social media website with a focus on asking questions — apparently like, “would you like to see my Weiner?”
There is also allegedly another Weiner wiener picture.

Back to reality and Weiner reality, the press conference was held after Weiner is accused again of trading inappropriate messages and another explicit image in communications with a 22-year-old woman — this after he resigned from congress in June 2011. The 2011 resignation stemmed from similar allegations, and finally admission to similar misconduct.
Weiner confirmed that he was still sending sexually explicit messages even after People magazine published a profile on him and his wife. Weiner said he didn’t know exactly when. “Um, I can’t say exactly. Sometime last summer, I think,” Weiner replied to a reporter’s question.
“Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of them happened after. But the fact is that was also the time that my wife and I were working through some things in our marriage.”

Weiner’s wife, Huda Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, spoke at her first press conference regarding the Weiner scandal and said that her husband’s resignation marked “the beginning of a time in our marriage that was very difficult and it took us a very long time to get through it.”
Weiner was an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor of New York City in the 2005 election. In May 2013, Weiner announced that he would run for Mayor of New York City in 2013 via a YouTube video. As of June 26, 2013, Democratic mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner had taken a lead over his opponents in an NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal poll.
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner has confirmed that some newly emerged, sexually tinged exchanges he had with a woman are real.
Anthony Weiner’s Wife, Huma, says she’s forgiven him and says she backs his run for mayor despite new revelations about sexually tinged online chats. “I have forgiven him. I believe in him … We are moving forward,” she said at a news conference.
Video photo-bombed by multiple individuals in office cubicles behind the press conference, and at 1:09 elapsed video time Anthony Weiner calls his wife a “he” and immediately corrects his goof to “she.”
