Weiner Admits More Online Exchanges With Women After Quitting House

Source: New York Times

Anthony D. Weiner, the embattled candidate for mayor of New York City, acknowledged on Thursday that he had engaged in inappropriate online communications with up to three women since leaving Congress two years ago.

Mr. Weiner, in a news conference at a Brooklyn soup kitchen, said that in total, he had traded lewd messages with six to 10 women, including during the time he was a United States representative. But, he added, “I can't tell you absolutely what someone else is going to consider inappropriate or not."

The remarks were his most detailed yet on his actions in the months after he resigned from office in June 2011. Mr. Weiner had left many voters with the impression that his lewd behavior had ceased after his resignation, but after another episode became public on Tuesday, he acknowledged that his habit of sending messages to young women he met online had continued.

I think Z100, the top-40 station in NYC, should play "Leave (Get Out)" by JoJo non stop until Weiner leaves. That song came out when I was in junior high.

"...was a BIG AW fan before he went porno king. loved to listen to his house speeches."

I know the feeling. I'm still stunned that he was this dumb. Sheesh AW, the alarm bells in your head should
have been going off...pics and dirty talk versus my political life and career! Oh, not to mention that you have a lovely
wife and a child.

Yup...total disappointment.

I don't care what he does with his pecker, but his lies, misstatements and deception, while making him perfectly suited for modern political life, also makes him a serious scumbag!!!!!!

This is just way way to soon to get back into politics after committing such stupidity. If he can get his life in order and prove by his actions (or maybe lack of actions) that he's 'fixed' himself, I think people could eventually forgive him. But at the moment he just looks like a two faced attention whore.

but from this vantage point, he's damaged goods and every day he's still running he's damaging the party. Just get a job in the private sector and go away already.
