Anthony Weiner might still be sexting

Weiner found himself trying to explain why he would favorite a tweet that claimed “Tinder will now be the ultimate sext machine.” It was a tweet by former Slate staffer Matt Yglesias, who is now Vox’s executive editor, and included a link to a piece about a new photo feature in the dating app.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2014/06/15/anthony_weiner_favorites_ultimate_sext_machine_tweet.html

Moments later, he scrubbed his Twitter history so that it appeared that he had only favorited one Tweet as opposed to the 27 favorites he had earlier in the day.

Before he deleted his favoriting history, The Village Voice reports that there were at least six instances where he liked photos of a buxom brunette in California.

One of the photos that he liked showed the woman, who uses the Instagram handle ParisDylan550, 'Fresh out the showaaa' wearing a pair of purple underwear and no pants. She posted the photo early Friday meaning that he would have liked the photo at some point this morning.

who would become part of the H Clinton administration. She always attracts attention and will get even more in the coming years "if" Hillary runs. It's an incredible thing to do to her a third time.

You know it's summer when Anthony Weiner's sexting is in the news!

If he's sexting, he's not getting any. Not now, not before, not ever again.

People develop sexual proclivities regardless of whether they're getting sex from their partners. My hunch is that Weiner has an addiction to online sexual interactions, and there's nothing that his wife can do about it.

And I wager that she came to that conclusion a long time ago.

the guy seems to meet addict criteria....continues to act out even when that costs him personal and professional problems.
Has lied about it.
Seems pretty compulsive.

Says he will quit and then doesn't...?
