Mr. Weiner and the Elusive Truth(Influential New York Times Editorial)
New York Times ^ | July 23, 2013 | DAVID W. CHEN and JAVIER C. HERNÁNDEZ

At some point, the full story of Anthony Weiner and his sexual relationships and texting habits will finally be told. In the meantime, the serially evasive Mr. Weiner should take his marital troubles and personal compulsions out of the public eye, away from cameras, off the Web and out of the race for mayor of New York City.

Mr. Weiner, who resigned from Congress two years ago after sending lewd messages and photos of his crotch to women he had not met, was forced to revisit the issue on Tuesday, and so were we all. A Web site called The Dirty had another woman’s story, another round of sex texts, and another picture of Mr. Weiner’s penis. The startling news was that this new episode apparently took place last summer, only a few months before Mr. Weiner was to begin another run at public office. The marital trauma that Mr. Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, had said was behind them was not as far behind as we thought.

When the first texts were revealed two years ago, Mr. Weiner lied about it, saying he had been the victim of hackers. Then he owned up, tearfully abandoned his office and retreated into private life. Then he was back, telling the world that therapy and his wife’s forgiveness had turned him around and that he was ready to begin a new chapter. That turned out to be the mayor’s race, which he entered in May. What he did not say then, and what voters did not realize until Tuesday, was that his resignation had not been the end of his sexual misconduct.

The Times calls for him to end the race.

They can support abortion, homosexuality, the pornography that routinely comes out of Hollywood, Broadway and HBO, lewd art displays and the deterioration of the culture.

But prude when it comes to saying this disgraceful guy, running for mayor publicized his privates?

They use the term, crotch?

It’s a lie. They have a dictionary. They’ve seen the photos.

Wimps. When will we not be surrounded by wimps?

Here’s the definition of crotch:
2.
a. The area on a pair of pants, underpants, or shorts where the two leg panels are sewn together.
b. A piece of material sewn into a pair of pants, underpants, or shorts that joins the legs.

I was subjected to his presser today, (Well I could have turned it off but it was like seeing a slow motion car wreck.) and I couldn’t help think that if New Yorkers could even think of electing a creepy dude like that, than all hope is truly lost.

“... And I won’t rest until there is a Weiner in every inbox of every hungry woman!”

I believe this should increase his stature in the eyes of Libs, and may very well catapult him into the 2016 Presidential race against the Honorable Ms. Clinton.

Ewwww.... That's gonna leave a mark. Weiner “better put some ice on that”

His wife will have nothing to do with him anymore as soon as she's sure he can't gain political office. That you can count on. They're both a pair of leeches that wish to live off the taxpayers teat. That's never going to happen. They are both done politically, never to achieve any power that they so lust for. I guess one could say that's what happens when you go flashing your penis around, huh?

Huma Should have left him the first time around, now she just looks like the stupid fool that she actually is.

You know what? I don't feel one bit sorry for either one of them, but then you FReepers probably already knew that.

Schadenfreude baby!

He won't stand a chance. Hillery has bigger baIIs.

“Elusive?”

Not a bit of it.

Wiener is one guy who puts it all out there for everyone to see.

Weiner will be elected in a landslide.
He's a Democrat. Democrat voters couldn't care less about character, honesty, integrity, or anything else other than....

No, the crotch is also on the body. The term “crotch rot” doesn’t refer to clothing.

“lewd messages and photos of his crotch to women he had not met”

One of the “women” was 17 years old, that’s a big part of the scandal.

Why is the NYT and NYC interested in Weiner’s woody?

What's the difference between Anthony Weiner and a carp? One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other is a fish.

This 17 yo is a woman, but 17 yo Trayvon was a child.

Granted, the NYT always wanted the radical leftist Christine Quinn, so they’re probably not unhappy about this.

But sometimes even the Weiners of this world - umm, get too cocky...

Seriously, he really thought he was a sure thing and could do whatever he wanted. But maybe this is too much even for the New York voter.

What’s with his wife, how come she hasn’t pushed him out the door?
