Go to hell in a hand basket Weiner... [View all]

Serial sexter Anthony Weiner begged supporters to hang with him, telling them today “a rough time” in his marriage prompted him to keep sending sexually explicit words and pictures to women he’s never met.

In a letter released this afternoon, Weiner apologized but also seemed to shift blame for his pervy behavior to his marriage to former State Department aide Human Abedin.

“Sending these embarrassing messages to women online, whom I never met, was a personal failing that was hurtful to my wife and a part of my life that Huma and I have put behind us,” he wrote.

Blaming your wife for your creepy ass compulsion is just despicable, disgusting behavior.

Beat it Anthony.

It is not about the sex; it is about Weiner's poor judgment and lack of personal self-control. kwassa Jul 2013 #186

How? He never even had actual sex.... VanillaRhapsody Jul 2013 #190

This is a different character flaw, and a different lack of judgment. kwassa Jul 2013 #192

How so? They didn't lie about their pecadillos? You think other men haven't made THAT kinda mistake? VanillaRhapsody Jul 2013 #193

He lied BECAUSE some people were going to judge him harshly simply because he has unique sexual VanillaRhapsody Jul 2013 #194

He lied because he was still sending sexual pictures and texts. kwassa Jul 2013 #203
