She knew what she was doing then and she knows what she's doing now. Trying to capitalize on the whole sordid mess.

why didn't she just stop twitting him? She is just as bad as he is. She knows he is a married man who has a problem. I don't feel sorry for her at all.

And you know what, I hope she gets some. Maybe it'll teach that cheating dummy a lesson. He's a fool that's getting conned.

She can't sue because she was a willing participant.

Liberals condemning someone like he got caught having sex with corpses for simply exchanging dirty pictures privately with adult willing women. I heard Weiner being criticized quite well on his merits or lack of tonight on the Maddow show. Now that is the way to debate someone's worthiness for office....not on if he is "morally acceptable" or if he is not too much of a male slut. We stand up and vigorously defend and march on Slut Shaming.....but then turn around and "Slut Shame" a guy for JUST sending dirty pictures ...No physical contact even....No babies were created....no sexual diseases transmitted..and the only person that could have been hurt by it....has publically forgiven him....Holy Moly!

It's a question of judgment and sheer stupidity. I could care less what it does, but if he doesn't have enough sense to keep it out of the public domain by being reasonably discreet, he can't be trusted with anything sensitive, IMO. But I'm not a New Yorker so I won't be voting anyway.

Why did you get involved, dearie? You could have tweeted him to stop or deleted his posts. If you played along, don't expect any sympathy. Obviously you thought there was something in it for you. You didn't realize he was married? Or didn't you care?

She's loving it, she's likely as big an egomaniac as the Wiener is. Jackpot!

Perhaps imagining how he could "manipulate" that sad victim.

I might be wrong, in which case I wonder wtf he was on about.

what that means: IT'S NOT A REAL RELATIONSHIP!!

It's a casual, flirty thing just like online flirting. It it casually entered into, and can be just as casually exited from. And guess what? Most folks are cool are cool about it and don't expect anything like a "real" relationship.

If you felt manipulated, you were free to delete his number from your contacts list and block his messages. It's not rocket science.

And what sort of a twit doesn't guard herself emotionally against flaky people met online? Good lord, are you 14 years old???

Why didn't she stop engaging Weiner in a sexting exchange? She sounds a bit manipulative to me. Taxes two to sext, doesn't it?
