Anthony Weiner: NYC Please Forgive Me!

Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin tell the press that shit happens! Weiner isn't getting out the mayoral race!

The controversy in New York involves a disgraced politico trying to rebound his career. As he is leading in the polls, here comes a scandal. The scandal involves the man texting his junk to women.

Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner is running as a Democrat for the mayoral race in New York City. The polls show he's likely going to win. But as he is on top, those in the junk food media are tearing him down.

Most New York newspapers are calling for Weiner to get out while he still has his dignity.

Instead of focusing on issues that matter to those living in New York City, the junk food media is focused on the very things that makes me not watch television.

Even three termed independent mayor Michael Bloomberg is tired of hearing about these silly scandals.

The Dirty struck gold. The controversial celebrity agitating website founded by Nik Richie found more pictures of the former politico sexting his junk to a woman. The Dirty also noted that Anthony Weiner went by the stage name Carlos Danger.

Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin-Weiner both appeared in front of the junk food media to declare their love for one another and hope they could put this incident behind him. Weiner said that he's embarrassed over the whole thing, but said there's far more important issues to worry about than what he does in private life.

Standing beside Weiner at a press conference in New York City, Abedin told reporters that she had forgiven her husband and plans to continue supporting and campaigning for his candidacy.

"Our marriage, like many others has had its ups and its downs," she said. "It took a lot of work and whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony."

Abedin noted that the decision to stay married to Weiner was her own. "It was not an easy choice in any way, but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage," she said. "That was a decision I made for me, for our son, and for our family."

Abedin added that the situation is "between us and our marriage," saying that "we discussed all this before Anthony decided he would run for mayor."

She reiterated that she will continue to stand behind him as the mayoral race progresses. "I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him and, as we have said since the beginning, we are moving forward," she said.

Though Abedin has frequently supported her husband on the campaign trail, meeting constituents at rallies and a variety of other events, Tuesday's appearance marked the first time she officially addressed an audience at a press conference.

He vows to stay in the race and hope the scandal will die down.



The Dirty was in the news earlier this month. Nik Richie was ordered to pay $339,000 in damages to Sarah Jones, a former NFL Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader for slander. Jones, a former educator and cheerleader was caught having an affair with Cody York, a 17-year old teenager. The woman was married and cheated on her husband with this boy. Jones is currently engaged to the victim.

The Dirty took stories of sexual tryst and post them to the website.

Rumors about her having sex with members of the Bengals had her fumed. She successfully sued and won the case. The Dirty plans on appealing the decision.

The conservatives are demanding that Weiner get out the race. They also want Eliot Spitzer out too.

Spitzer was then a Democratic New York governor was in the news after he got caught having affair with a sex worker. He quickly resigned after less than a full year in office. I think Weiner called for his resignation after this affair.

Now he's trying to rebound his career as well. Spitzer is running for New York City controller.

Spitzer had once held a seat on CNN and Current TV. He left Current TV this year after the network was sold to Al Jazeera.

You notice that there is a double standard in how the junk food media covers these individuals who try to rebound their political careers after a sex scandal.

Nik Richie broke the news. He is feuding with Sarah Jones a former cheerleader who successfully sued him for slander. The woman had an affair with a teenage boy. 

Earlier this year, Mark Sanford, the former South Carolina governor became a Republican congressman after he beat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch, his Democratic challenger. Colbert-Busch is the sister of Comedy Central's popular satirist Stephen Colbert.

Sanford who appears frequently on Loserville and talk radio wanted to win the seat he once held when he was a congressman in the early 1990s. Sanford, was one of the many politicos who voted for the articles of impeachment against then president Bill Clinton for lying under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Sanford, while governor of the state was married to his wife Jenni and had four children. In 2009, Sanford was caught by the junk food media taking a trip to Argentina. Sanford was apparently on his way to see his girlfriend. The woman was a news reporter for an international network. They hooked up since 2008.

Sanford was embarrassed by the whole situation. He came out and apologized for the affair and told the junk food media that the only thing he's guilty of is being in love with another woman.

Sanford and María Belén Chapur are engaged to be married and he's got her knocked up. The woman has children from a previous marriage and they'll be having their first child soon.

Sanford represents the 1st Congressional district. It was once held by Tim Scott, the first Black Republican to represent that state since 1897. He was appointed as a U.S. Senator this year after Jim DeMint resigned to become the head of The Heritage Foundation.

If Sanford could win after a sex scandal, I am guessing that Weiner and Spitzer could too.

What's your thoughts on this scandal?
