Weiner admits to XXX online chats with woman for 6 months *after* resigning from Congress

[Nye Bevan]

New York Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has admitted to another raunchy online sexual relationship with a young woman that went on for six months — after he resigned in disgrace from Congress in a sexting scandal in 2011.

“Thedirty.com” says Weiner used an anonymous handle — “Carlos Danger” — and exchanged sexually explicit photos and had XXX sex chats with the young woman.

The woman, using the handle “Anonymous” said of Weiner, “The part that’s most annoying is that I was 22 years old and in a bad place, but if anyone asked him he would say the same thing about himself, yet he’s an adult.”

.......

The site claims Weiner used the pseudonym “Carlos Danger” when he would “email pictures of his penis via Yahoo. Which makes me believe Anonymous wasn’t the only girl he was working.”

You truly couldn't make this shit up.

[Skittles]

1. come on, he's a pervert

in the old days he'd be flashing from a raincoat

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Once again, Wiener makes the hard choice and comes clean...

[msongs]

9. the "hard" choice was already made, the difficult one is to get out of politics so

people can elect a liberal/progressive that has a higher standard of conduct

[Puzzledtraveller]

30. +1

[Renew Deal]

15. I don't understand your comment

Unless the hard choice is the content of the photos. He didn't "come clean." Someone outed him again.

[Skittles]

93. try to think, er, sexual innuendo, Renew Deal

as in, er, "hard" and "come"; yes INDEED

[Orrex]

34. Don't feel bad

I understood your post.

[cherokeeprogressive]

52. I was going to go with "Wiener accidentally tweets johnson to Anonymous."

Probly shoulda stuck with that.

96. (Hangs head...)

[Skittles]

114. OH PLEASE

YOU WOULD PAY ME

[cherokeeprogressive]

126. Uhhh...

Probably.

[Ilsa]

3. Looks to me like he needs help with either a

Sex addiction or something else that needs diagnosing.

I'm not declaring he did anything wrong, but he's married, and I can't imagine his wife being okay with this. He is seeking a career in public life, and this kind of private life usually doesn't jive with a promising public reputation. He needs psychological help.

[Mojorabbit]

4. I agree. This has to be hard on his family esp if they thought all this was behind them. nt

[Nye Bevan]

38. Heh heh.

You said "hard on".

(chanelling my inner Beavis and Butt-head&quot .

[loli phabay]

51. has the wife weighed in on this, she may be fine with it, i dont know.

[Ilsa]

116. Maybe she is. But this isn't behavior

that most of the population will endorse with a vote. It makes me wonder what else is going on with him. And since this is the sort of behavior that people try to hide, I wonder if he'd be vulnerable to blackmail.

BTW, in my memory of the previous incident, the wife didn't appear to be too happy about his extra-curricular flirtings.

[Jenoch]

88. I am no psychologist

nor do I have any experience in this sort of thing. I think Weiner's sexting problem similar to the problem that flashers have. They get some sort of thrill out of exposing themselves. Weiner does it with a cell phone and flashers do it in a park or from their car.

[Happyhippychick]

5. I've said it before, I'll say it again.

His wife is such a prize I don't know what she sees in that pig of a husband.

[Nye Bevan]

7. She has redefined "long-suffering" (nt)

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. Wasn't she pregnant at the time? Hard for women to make big changes in those circumstances.

[vaberella]

128. Please. It's hard if you didn't have the support she had.

She has plenty of support and doesn't need Weiner. Child or no child...not too tough when my husband keeps cuckolding me emotionally and mentally, if not physically.

[Liberal_in_LA]

134. I hear ya.

[Enrique]

13. i hear some women are attracted to Danger

[vaberella]

127. That's what I said about Hilary Clinton. But these lady's make their choices. n/t

[hrmjustin]

6. This is a shame. As a supporter This makes me sad. Hope this does not elect Quinn.

[Nye Bevan]

8. If Weiner beats her, she will regret that she never tweeted her vulva (nt)

[KittyWampus]

10. oh my.

[geek tragedy]

11. Carlos Danger?

[nolabear]

14. Carlos Danger Wiener. Danger is his middle name!

[Buns_of_Fire]

89. Danger Weiner, Savage Weiner, too many weiners to keep track of anymore... nt

[Whisp]

95. Idiot Wiener, Jerkoff Wiener, Scumbucket Wiener.

go away, you boney little shit.

[GlashFordan]

16. So what? Whose business is it?

If he can be an effective Mayor of NYC more power to him.

[sufrommich]

18. This. His personal life is between him and his family. nt

[Nye Bevan]

31. If "being a boy scout" means "not tweeting your cock",

then it's probably a good idea to be a boy scout if you want to run for office.

[arely staircase]

29. and apparantly several women to whom he sent unsolicited dick pictures. nt

[maddezmom]

57. I think he is done in politics but who knows

[arely staircase]

71. I thought he was a good congressman, actually. nt

[maddezmom]

74. He was and would probably be a good mayor

But it will be hard for some who got over his last incident thinking he learned his lesson only to learn he was still out there sexting far after he resigned. You can do good works and still be a total fuckup...like what is going on in SD right now.

[frylock]

25. who cares about questionable judgment, right?

his poor judgment and decisions will have no bearing whatsoever on how he runs the city. is that your argument? being prone to blackmail is no biggie in politics really.

[closeupready]

44. Was sacrificing term limits to Bloomberg's demands

better judgment? I don't think so. To the contrary, in fact.

[frylock]

49. and that has fuckall to do with this..

try and stay on topic.

[closeupready]

70. It fuckall does - Quinn v. Weiner.

[frylock]

76. so weiner gets elected, more scandals emerge, weiner resigns in disgrace..

and NYC gets to spend a ton of jack holding a special election because this egomaniac doesn't know when to hang it up, and can't control his urges. we're going to go through that whole fucking process here in san diego. good times.

[Nye Bevan]

32. Did the National Organization of Women have any right to urge women not to vote for Weiner?

Or should they just butt out?

The National Organization for Women is urging voters to stay far, far away from this election’s two comeback candidates: disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who is running for comptroller, and former Congressman Anthony Weiner, a candidate for mayor.

Advocates with the pro-women’s group, which has endorsed City Council Speaker Christine Quinn for mayor, held a press conference on the steps of City Hall today where they slammed the two redemption-seeking polls as anti-women.

http://politicker.com/2013/07/now-urges-female-voters-to-steer-clear-of-spitzer-and-weiner/

[Logical]

56. The business of people who vote for him. n-t

[vaberella]

129. Yes, because on my tax money time he's looking at porn sites and tweeting penis'.

I definitely want that as Mayor. I will say this, I am a New York resident and I can say he doesn't get my vote. I'm done with this. Because shit like this derails good work and progress and turns the office into a media circus. I would rather focus always be on policy and actions like this would not make him effective since policy focus would be out the window and his salacious behaviour would be more the topic.

[warrior1]

17. idiot

[byeya]

19. More power to him. I hope he wins the election.

[OnyxCollie]

20. The Murdoch-owned NY Post

publishes a story about emails and online chats to once again destroy a disgraced politician (who dared to go after Clarence Thomas.)

Murdoch bragged that politicians could not get elected without good press from his media outlets.

News Corp, with USA PATRIOT ACT author Viet Dinh on its Board of Directors.

News Corp, whose Sun newspaper hacked phones and bribed police.

News Corp employees and PAC made Barack Obama (and eight other Dems, along with Bob Corker) their top 10 recipients of campaign contributions in 2012.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

[Dreamer Tatum]

39. Can't believe anyone is still using your tactic. nt

[indepat]

21. Surely these piddling sexual quirks, obsessions, and dalliances would not interfere with

Weiner's performance of duties as mayor of our largest city. Not at all. Nosiree.

[Puzzledtraveller]

22. Here we go again

[backscatter712]

23. Sometimes, I think that some guys would be happier without being married.

Weiner may be one of those guys. I'd suggest that he divorce, be openly single, and unapologetically do the Glenn Quagmire thing.

[kiva]

24. "Anonymous" must be in an extended childhood...

The woman, using the handle “Anonymous” said of Weiner, “The part that’s most annoying is that I was 22 years old and in a bad place, but if anyone asked him he would say the same thing about himself, yet he’s an adult.”

She wasn't an adult? News flash, she'd been a adult for four years by that point - and if she didn't think she was, that may well have contributed to her "bad place".

[laundry_queen]

98. That caught my eye too. How ridiculous. nt

[Mosby]

27. It sounds like they both need help. nt

[Ian David]

28. Why not? What did he have to lose at that point? n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

33. Honey, at 22, you are an adult. (n/t)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

117. Don't push me. I just watched "Evan Feinberg"...

on PBS bashing ObamaCare and "older, sicker Americans."

This Evan Feinberg:

PUNK!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

120. Heh. Feinberg is quite the poster child...

Heritage Foundation, Tom Coburn, Rand Paul, Pat Toomey...

122. Same here. Moving from...

Communist Northern Virginia to a blue part of NC wasn't too much of an adjustment, but damn, it's been downhill since 2010.

[JVS]

75. +1

[BlueStater]

37. Hmm...let me check.

Nope. Still don't give a shit about what he does in the privacy of his own bedroom. Nice try.

[Nye Bevan]

41. It could actually be a positive. He has demonstrated strong computer skills,

expertise in digital photography, and proficiency in using modern communications platforms like email and Twitter. All of this is important for a prospective mayor of a modern city like New York.

He has also shown a willingness to reach out to and interact with the younger generation. And moreover, he has provided incontovertible evidence that he has a pretty good-sized penis.

[BlueStater]

43. Will your head explode if he wins?

That will be quite a sight to see.

[Nye Bevan]

48. No, it will be hilarious. I can't wait for the NY Post headlines and cartoons.

And I live near but not in NYC, so I will have a ringside seat without being in any way negatively affected by his mayoralty.

He certainly could still win the erection. Er, election.

[Common Sense Party]

72. How does he look in the poles...er, polls?

And what do his staff members think?

[closeupready]

40. Who cares. I don't. I'm voting for him.

[Nye Bevan]

42. It's almost worth it for the four years of amusing NY Post headlines and puns (nt)

[closeupready]

45. They do have a way with words,

even if I can't stand that paper, lol.

[Gin]

46. He shows poor judgement.....his behavior is pathetic....if he wins...NY will be a laughing stock

Like Cucinelli is in my state. IMHO

[hughee99]

47. Ron Mexico would be proud. "Carlos Danger" is a great name for a big idiot. n/t

[Nye Bevan]

55. Hi Carlos! Got any good pics to post? (nt)

[Warren DeMontague]

50. In my day, we had to send crotch shots by pony express.

Then the telegraph changed everything. Talk about a long dash.

[Nye Bevan]

54. See, the Weiner mayoralty will be non-stop hilarity!

Come on New Yorkers! Carlos Danger for Mayor!

[cherokeeprogressive]

63. Can't you see the T-shirts? "Vote for Carlos" n/t

[jessie04]

58. That is one horny guy.

Go Carlos.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

59. if you're 22, you are an adult. deal.

and Weiner sure seems proud of his weiner.

[hrmjustin]

60. According to Abc news he is going to have a press conference soon.

[cherokeeprogressive]

64. Think he'll blame it on Breitbart's Ghost?

50/50

[hrmjustin]

65. Those damn ghosts!

[nil desperandum]

66. Honesty

When I grew up I learned a simple concept from my construction worker dad, if your word ain't worth shit then neither are you.

I like to think we are electing honest hard working people as our representatives to the government. It concerns me to discover that someone whose political viewpoint I agree with turns out to be a liar to his spouse. I don't expect people to be angels and I sure as hell don't care what you do in the privacy of your home, but I would like my representatives to be honest with me. If they are willing to break a vow or a commitment to someone they purport to cherish above all others I tend to doubt they will care very much about telling me a bunch of lies.

Maybe his wife doesn't care, but at the very least this behavior is poor judgment and at worst a continuing pattern of lies neither of which offers a strong recommendation for his candidacy.

I voted for Elizabeth Warren here in Massachusetts because I believed her to be an honest hard working individual, the same as I did for John Olver for years and for Richie Neal....I have no skin in the game for the NYC mayoral race, but I do believe the content of your character matters.



“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

[Mojorabbit]

68. +100 nt

[jeff47]

80. And you know the intricacies of their marriage because......?

She may not care. AFAIK, she has not made any statements saying she cares.

There are women out there who would throw their husband out if he went to a strip club. There are other women who don't care where he goes, as long as he's not sleeping around. There's no reason for us to assume his wife is the former.

[nil desperandum]

130. Comments

I believe this article stated his wife forgives him.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23428335

To forgive means that there was a wrong committed in the eyes of the person forgiving. If she did not care and it was acceptable there was no need to forgive.

I'd rather not be in a p1ssing match over semantics though, I understand your point to mean as long as he lies to his wife who doesn't mind his lies, you're okay with that and he makes a great leader for you.

If that's an incorrect assumption on my part, I have no idea why you would feel the need to respond as you did.

I like my leaders to not be liars where I can find them that way. It's far and few between, but it doesn't mean I can't at least look for a leader who has the politics I like, while also having a bit of character that doesn't involve lies.

It would appear lies are okay with you as long as you get the politics you want, I understand that something is better than nothing....but I think when we set the bar too low we get what we asked for. A government filled with corruption like the one we have in the Massachusetts state house where the position of speaker tends to end in indictment. I'd like to end that practice and have some speakers who end as honorable memories of decent men and women.

But I understand that's not important to you. Thanks for the heads up.

[jeff47]

131. Again, you are assuming parts of their relationship

For example, that he lied to her. She may have known about it. She may have never asked about it.

But hey, that would require taking a moment to realize other people are not exactly like you, which would get in the way of that high-horse.

[nil desperandum]

132. High horse

I don't assume she's exactly like me because I won't stay with a spouse who makes plans to put a lover in a condo while arranging sex and sending pictures of their privates to the potential paramour....

I made my comments because of what Huma said :
"It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony," Abedin said. "It was not an easy choice in any way, but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage."

Those don't sound like the words of a woman who was "okay" with any of it or knew about any of it.....perhaps the person who doesn't understand this is you because you don't mind his politics you don't mind his bad behavior.

I like his politics too, but I would like someone I intend to vote for to speak honestly about his intentions. If his past is filled with lies to his family I am concerned his future might be filled with lies as well.

If that means you think I am on a high horse, then we will have to agree that we don't see eye to eye here. I'm not convincing you that I am not a moralizing prude, and you're not convincing me that a man whose actions put his wife into therapy in order to forgive him is worthy of a vote.

Thanks, for the education it's been fun.

[Le Taz Hot]

67. This guy's a train wreck.

Some people never learn.

[greytdemocrat]

69. This guy is scum. nt

[BainsBane]

73. Why hasn't his wife left him?

What a douche bag.

[polichick]

78. Wouldn't be surprised if she left after this.

[jeff47]

81. Maybe she doesn't care?

There are women who don't mind if their husband goes to strip clubs, flirts with every woman he comes across, and so on.

She could be one of them.

[BainsBane]

82. She cares

This is not a strip club. This is public humiliation.

[jeff47]

86. Because.......?

What, exactly, is the humiliation?

Or is it that you know her personally?

[BainsBane]

87. Because the entire country has seen her husband tweeting his willy

Because they know her husband does shit online. It's humiliating. I hope she dumps him now. She deserves much better. The guy has serious problems.

[jeff47]

90. And why is that humiliating?

See, what I'm trying to get to is the point where you explicitly say what is humiliating about it. Not just "because it is".

Further, you are stating your opinion - you would feel humiliated. We don't know how she feels. She may be one of the women who don't care what he does, as long as he doesn't actually sleep with the women. And no one is claiming he has done that.

[BainsBane]

91. No one wants their husband's indiscretions in the news

If I posted all the stupid stuff you'd done on DU right now, it wouldn't bother you at all?

[mzmolly]

77. How very sad for his wife,

and our country. Weiner was an excellent rep for the collective cause.

[Deep13]

79. Thanks for screwing us out of a progressive Congressman, Weiner.

I predict a long, lucrative, boring, and anonymous career for you.

[NorthCarolina]

84. He should run as Carlos Danger. Would be great.

I wonder if he ever Xeroxed his butt....

[99Forever]

94. Why are you so fucking concerned...

... other people's sex lives?

What gawddamn business is it of yours?

My dear departed mother told me something I've never forgotten: "People with no sex life spend their time and energy trying to ruin it for those of us that do."

You one of those?

[Nye Bevan]

100. Oh, you musunderstand. My OP was in no way intended to condemn the cock-tweeting and the sexting,

it was intended to express admiration for the inventive pseudonym "Carlos Danger".

And kudos to your late mother for her refreshingly modern attitude towards the electronic exchange of images of sexual organs.

[99Forever]

102. Her "modern attitude" was in place...

... a long time before the internet existed. It was aimed at self-appointed "moralist" crusaders of all stripes.

So, again I ask, how is ANYONE else's sex life any of YOUR business unless you are their spouse or partner?

[Nye Bevan]

105. Hey, I didn't tell him to hold a press conference about his sex life.

So sue me for watching it.

[99Forever]

106. So you can't or won't answer.

I'm so fucking surprised.

[Nye Bevan]

107. Doesn't something become "my business" when someone holds a PRESS CONFERENCE about it? (nt)

[99Forever]

109. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Reminds me of trying to hold a conversation with a rightie.

[Nye Bevan]

110. Hey, you're right, it does.

Nice to end our exchange on a note of agreement.

[ecstatic]

112. lol! nt

[JVS]

97. Is that wrong?

[Cha]

99. yeah, you wouldn't want to make this shit up..

it's too sick. At least I wouldn't.

wth Weiner

[Shankapotomus]

101. Witch Hunt

The night is black, without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.

Features distorted in the flickering light,
Faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possesed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.

They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.

[Nye Bevan]

103. Here's another verse:

While his pregnant wife was sleeping
To the spare room he was creeping.
He made sure to turn the lock
Then he photographed his cock.
With his organ proudly erect
He proceeded to twitter and sext.

[Shankapotomus]

108. Hypothetical:

What if a random senator had an open marriage with his wife? Open in the sense that, just between them, there was an understanding that this kind of behavior was permissible? It was something personal they wanted to keep just between themselves and whatever third party that was recruited to engage in the behavior?

Now do you see the silliness in making someone's personal life a political issue?

It's nobody's business. If you don't want to vote for someone base purely on their non-criminal personal life, I would say that's ridiculous because where does it end? But it's your vote.

[cali]

123. what a load of crap. Weiner showed no impulse control and no judgment

are those qualities one wants in a chief executive?

[Whisp]

104. This is a deliberate distraction from the State Dept sexual misconduct scandal.

Huma and Mr. Penis are covering for the Clintons.

There was most likely a new update today on the State Dept scandal - an investigation was taking place on some very serious charges while Hillary was SoS, and today might have been the day for new information.

Clinton's very good friends, may have saved this from the news. But I doubt it. It will squeeze out somehow.

Crazy idea? Not as crazy as Weiner coming out and doing this again and dear sweet adorable wifie standin' by her Mannnn. Something is so off about this stupid story.

[matthews]

111. I've intentionally stayed quiet until now because I wanted to see where

he had supposedly admitted to continuing to play internet stud after the resignation. What a jackass. He needs to get into another line of work. Especially for the really tacky porn name, Carlos Danger.

The only person that this guy is a danger to is himself. And his wife of course. One of these days she might snap and relieve Weiner of his weiner. I'm thinking maybe we should start a collection to show our appreciation, and so that we can post her bail and get her a good attorney by way of thanks. That might be the only way of getting this guy and his schlong off social media sites.

Carlos Danger. Good grief.

[Autumn]

113. How did this come out? Did the woman come forward?

His wife says they had therapy. I would assume this was during this 6 months *after* resigning. If it hasn't happened since I think it's no ones business.

[VOX]

115. He might as well have "Carlos Danger" tattooed on his ... forehead...

Because that handle is too much for the media -- not to mention humorists -- to resist. I don't care about his goofing around (although his repeated behavior post-busting sounds like an addiction), but this is not the kind of tomfoolery that the average voter will abide in a candidate for public office.

Carlos Danger is done.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

118. He started these chats a week before his "It's all behind me" People magazine spread

Once a liar, always a liar.

[smirkymonkey]

124. I am not terribly concerned with his sex life,

but he is one stupid ass politician. He must know what kind of number the media will do on him. He's just shown extremely poor judgment.

[Punkingal]

125. He is sick.

nt

[Capt. Obvious]

133. Bad reporting!!!

Danger is his middle name.
