Clockwise from top left, Representative Anthony Weiner of New York, former Gov. James McGreevey of New Jersey, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York, former Representative Eric J. Massa of New York, President Bill Clinton and former Senator John Ensign of Nevada. The recent Anthony Weiner scandals brought back that old specter of whether or not politicians cheating on their wives should matter. We got to have rehashed the tales of Clinton, Gingrich, Edwards, Ted Kennedy, and now of course, Weiner. There are however, two angles that overall seem to have fallen under everyone's radar. When I first moved to...

His ego has no bounds. In a dazzling display of arrogance, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner is trying to insert himself back into politics -- calling power brokers and would-be candidates for his old seat, hoping they'll let him play a role in choosing his own successor, The Post has learned. Weiner, who became a national dirty joke after he was caught sexting young women, now wants to be a kingmaker. He was a leading candidate for the 2013 race to replace Mayor Bloomberg until his political downfall earlier this month, though his fund-raising account still is bulging.

They shared pasta but not much conversation. Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, were spotted dining at La Bottega in Chelsea's Maritime Hotel on Saturday - but she "looked miserable," according to a witness. The couple were sharing a plain pizza, a salad and pasta but spent most of the meal chained to their cell phones, said the witness. They were both sporting wedding rings. "No one was really positive that it was him, but then we saw the name on the credit card and we were like, 'Wow, it's really him,' " said a waiter...

In a front page story about a major FBI terrorism investigation, The Washington Post has reported that the targets include “Chicagoans who crossed paths with Obama when he was a young state senator and some who have been active in labor unions that supported his political rise.” The implication is that the trail could lead to the White House. This is an unusual investigation that does not primarily involve Islamists. Instead, it is focused on elements of the old international communist networks that many people mistakenly thought had faded away with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Those under investigation...

Here’s the thing: I’m not particularly interested in what politicians do in their private lives. But if you make a public commitment to your wife and then ask people to keep out of your “private life” you’re sending mixed-messages. So when John Humphreys, the founder of the Australian Libertarian Society defended America’s sleazy Democrat, Anthony Weiner, in Defending the indefensible, my response was clear: I don’t care if he posed for Playgirl – that’s not the issue. If you cheat on your wife, the likelihood of cheating on people you don’t know is very high indeed, according to my reading...

<p>Anthony Weiner officially resigned from the House of Representatives this week, and today his name has disappeared from the wall outside his former office. This sign now adorns office 2104 of the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill.</p> <p>Weiner represented New York's Ninth Congressional District, but history is sometimes blurred by time, and Weiner was, at least as of this photo's snapping, remembered as having represented the "Nineth" district instead. We hope the typo has been corrected, especially since red pen may not show up so well on the dark brown sign.</p>

LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2011 — Apparently the Weiner dog does not like his kosher. Anthony Weiner has actually managed to add a new layer to an already tawdry sex scandal. This is not about him marrying a South Asian woman of Pakistan-Indian parentage. Many Jewish people disagree with intermarriage for cultural reasons, but he fell in love and that is his business. However, it is being reported that he has been caught making comments that are vile and defamatory toward Jewish women. If he were not Jewish, they would be considered anti-Semitic. Since he is Jewish, he will be...

Anthony Weiner-converted-to-Islam meme spreadsA prominent right-wing Islam expert believes the Jewish congressman "most likely" converted in secret By Justin Elliott Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 18:34 ET This interview with Robert Spencer, the go-to Islam expert for the right wing, offers a taste of the worldview of the Shariah fear-mongering set: Frontpage: I would like to talk to you today about Anthony Weiner’s marriage to his Muslim Brotherhood wife, Huma Abedin. How is it exactly that a Muslim woman connected to the Muslim Brotherhood is married to a Jewish man? Something is not fitting here, right? Spencer: Jamie, Islamic law prohibits...

Frontpage: Robert Spencer, welcome to Frontpage Interview. I would like to talk to you today about Anthony Weiner’s marriage to his Muslim Brotherhood wife, Huma Abedin. How is it exactly that a Muslim woman connected to the Muslim Brotherhood is married to a Jewish man? Something is not fitting here, right?

Even though he's out now, this guy is the gift that keeps giving. With a little embellishment I provided a hint for the identity of his doppleganger... If you're not a child of the 90's and have no clue then check out the answer at Death by 1000 Papercuts. If you still don't know you might actually be better off for it.

When Anthony Weiner resigned few observers over 12 years old believed he was doing so because it was "the right thing to do" as taught to him by his typical liberal Democrat parents. Liberal Democrats are not hard wired to do things for any greater good save for that of the Democrat Party. Those who watched his "pro forma" apology and resignation last week suspected there was more to the story and he was falling on his sword to hide something. That something now seems to be emerging and it is more hideous and alarming than we could have imagined:...

Disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner submitted his formal resignation letter Monday, saying he will no longer be a member of Congress starting Tuesday.

In the midst of last week’s installments of the Anthony Weiner saga -- rehab, further revelations, resignation -- another minor media episode played itself out, a little less spectacularly, on the televised stage: Five days before the ceremony, Miss Crystal Harris bailed out on her planned wedding to Mr. Hugh Hefner. Everybody knows Hugh Hefner, of course: the founder of Playboy and professional bon vivant whose swinging bachelor lifestyle has been a staple of American pop culture since the Eisenhower era. But who is Crystal Harris? She turns out to be a 25-year-old ex-Playmate and aspiring singer -- whose plans...

Far more disturbing than the salacious details of Weiner's dalliances is the fact that apparently his mother-in-law is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, "is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS. How is it that the Western media, with its hourly analyses of Weiner, missed this salient point, yet Arab news sources revealed this connection?...

Congress waited for Anthony Weiner to say he's leaving -- and now it's waiting for him to clean out his desk.

Are there holes in Weiner's tax returns? Shamed former congressman faces fresh accusations, as rumours spread that pregnant wife Huma feels 'hopelessly trapped' in their marriage' * 'Big bulge in Weiner's tax deductions,' it is claimed * Huma Abedin's family and friends said to be quietly furious with Weiner * Weiner spotted singing love songs in Long Island grocery store as couple shop * Weiner could draw on pensions and benefits worth more than $1m in his lifetime * Washington pundits say he is already planning comeback * Sources say he may even run for his seat again in special...

......disgraced ex-Cong Weiner's 2010 tax return shows $40,521 in unspecified itemized deductions on income of $156,117. The deductions appeared to include more than the standard write-offs......his campaign finance reports list his Forest Hills home as his campaign committee address but rents office space in Manhattan.
