When Anthony Weiner was driven from the halls of Congress because of his penchant for tweeting photos of his nether regions to women who were not his wife, it was pretty clear that his reputation would accompany his political career down the toilet.
What was less clear was that he might inadvertently flush his wife’s reputation as well. Yet I couldn’t help but think that that is precisely what is happening as I watched their incredibly uncomfortable press conference on Tuesday. The scene was so familiar it was almost cliché. The wronged wife standing next to her wrongdoing hubby in an effort to humanize him and, hopefully, save his career during one of the most humiliating moments of their public lives.

Huma stepped up to the mic. “It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony,” she said. “It was not an easy choice in any way but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage. That was the decision I made for me, for our son and for our family.”
She said that, “Anthony’s made some horrible mistakes,” before ultimately saying, “But I believe that is between us and our marriage.”
There’s just one problem: It isn’t just between the two of them. If it were, then the situation would not have warranted a press conference. But it did because Anthony Weiner is interviewing for the job of our mayor. There are a lot of characteristics people consider during the interview and hiring process. Stability, judgment and honesty are just a few of those characteristics.
So far Anthony Weiner appears to be 0 for 3.

It’s all just a ploy for the later Huma campaign.
If he is voted Mayor, it will confirm what everybody else out in fly-over country knows about NYC and the majority of its denizens.
As a muzzie, she’s supposed to take whatever the dork gives out.
But don’t worry, lib women look the other way when dealing with muzzies...(they have to....else they’ll “get it”.)
The hypocrisy of liberals (and especially feminists) requires scientific notation in order to adequately express the magnitude of their problem.
It is a parody OF a parody!
American government and our political process have become a global joke.
We no longer have ANY moral standing to ridicule or lecture OTHER countries who solve THEIR problems with force, deceit, corruption, etc.
We are now THEM!
well, I bet he never exposed himself to her.
Scum clots together.
NYC went from incompetant (Dinkins)
to competant and weird (Giuliani)
to competant and evil (Bloomberg)
and now is threatening
Weird, evil and incompetant (Weiner)
Most likely his beak is bigger than his weiner.
Anthony Weiner— The Moron of Babylon....
Such good role models for their son.
This is all taking place in Bizarro World. If he was just an ordinary thief or adulterer, maybe she could talk about forgiveness and loyalty ... but the guy emails pictures of his penis to strangers.
He’s blithering insane ... and if he’s not elected Mayor of New York, I hereby publically pledge to donate $100 to Free Republic, even if I have to take it out of my wine budget.
Anyone care to go on the record and join me, for any amount?
Good LORD!
She’s a WOOD PLANE!!
Huma had a lot of coaching about forgiveness for her husband from her “close” friend Hillary.
Neither is there any love lost for the husbands, the husbands are merely a useful tool for Hillary and Huma.
The media refers to her as the “lovely wife”.
“Good LORD!
She’s a WOOD PLANE!!”
Well, if one wants a true baseline for “wood plane”, one could look at Boxer or Pelosi.
When a chimpanzee bares its teeth to the point of displaying most of its gums as well, it is signifying extreme aggression.
