I think that’s accidental, the appearance of checking her out, because I don’t think he cares much about what he seems to be looking at. If he did, we’d be hearing about girlfriends before Michelle—and there doesn’t seem to be any. However, highly amusing photo—especially with Maurice Chevalier looking on. Thank heaven for little girls...
Nothing indecent about a man in late 40's having private talks with a 17 year old girl. No siree.
I found it interesting that Schumer, who was Weiners mentor, never came out to support him. What does Schumer know and when did he know it...
Dibs on “Defiant Wieners” if I ever start a band.
Huma hasn’t spoken publicly, has she? We only have Weiner’s word she is standing by him and we know what a truthful guy he is. Maybe she’s jumped ship, she always has Hilary to fall back on.
Indeed. I don't get how the term 'witch hunt' applies when the Weiner has admitted to his transgressions.
Huma’s location tell’s u everything u need to know about her marriage to the Weiner.
i.e. she’s with her butch lover and not with her husband.
Can u say SHAM MARRIAGE?
Great post. Narcissists interact socially with others but they don’t form relational social bonds which matches Weiner and explains why there’s few supporting him. Narcissists don’t like being ‘owned’ therefore the they reduce all of those around them as non-human objects and this basically describes the marxist. I honestly doubt that there could be much love between Tony and his wife.
And I wonder what the little birdy knows about the other DM's... (photo: waow.images.worldnow.com)
Or, at least, give himself enough time to get a better camera.
Dumb can be treated but stupid goes all the way to the bone
Rangel was the only one who came out to support Weiner and that’s probably because Weiner contributed campaign money to support crook Rangel’s defense.

Excerpt:
Cohen, a lawyer who ran in ‘91 with the support of a citywide labor/progressive coalition, had been one of the two favorites in the race, along with Michael Garson. Weiner, then a 26-year-old aide to the local congressman, Charles Schumer, was the underdog.
“Anthony had no credential whatsoever, other than that he worked for Chuck,” Cohen said. “He was a college graduate from the state university and went to work for Chuck and then ran. What bothered me the most is that I thought you needed a credential to run for public office, so I actually went to law school, so that I would know what I was doing. So at the time, it bothered me that this kid who was the same age as my kids had no credential whatsoever.”
The same Weiner swagger that viewers of cable news are now familiar with was on display even back then.
“I know that he had more nerve than I had,” Cohen recalled. “I would stand outside a supermarket and hand out literature. It’s private property — one doesn’t go in there. And he walked right past me, walked right in and shook everybody’s hand and walked out. Got a lot more hands shook that way. So I remember that.”
She added: “He’s very self-confident. A credit to his mother — I mean, how do you turn out that self-confident, that you’re going to do what I’m hearing he’s done and think that it’s not going to affect you and your career and your wife? I feel really bad for her and her parents.”
When the Jackson/Dinkins mailer went out a few days before the ‘91 primary, Cohen and her lawyer tried in vain to stop it. She recalled coming home the Friday before the primary and being told by her daughter that Schumer had called to say that he had nothing to do with it. A few hours later, he called again and personally conveyed this to Cohen, who still has her doubts.
“It was just a little too ‘The lady doth protest too much,’” she said.
Weiner ended up winning in a tight race, finishing 125 votes ahead of Garson and 195 ahead of Cohen. Does Cohen believe the mailer made the difference?
“Yeah. Oh yeah. 195 votes? You reminded me — thanks a lot.”
“I’ve pondered on the fact that I’ve never, ever, ever met Jesse Jackson,” she said. “And I’d carefully distanced myself — as much as I could could while being respectful — from [Dinkins]. He was the mayor. One shouldn’t be trashed for respecting the mayor of the city of New York.”
Weiner went on to serve seven years on the City Council before moving up to Congress in 1998. Cohen ended up winning a seat in the state Assembly, where she served for nearly a decade before returning to private law practice in 2006. If the outcome of their ‘91 race had been different, she admits, “I might be in Congress.”
I asked her what she think the future holds for Weiner now.
“I don’t know how he could make a living,” Cohen said. “Will lobbying firms hire him? He’d probably make a good lobbyist.”
What about television?
“He might be able to. He’s very glib. He’s very glib, so he could. I don’t know. I went back to practicing law. Quietly. But I don’t think he could live a quiet life.
“I think he should hold his head in shame and resign and go off into a corner,” she said. “I think what he did is so disgraceful. He brought disgrace on himself and his family and his constituents. But if he runs again, he’ll win. Because the most familiar name wins, and his name is only becoming more familiar. And he’ll put out whatever kind of stuff it’ll take to get him to win. Whoever runs against him: Beware. You have to be an angel.”
I’m not yet convinced she is pregnant. But if she is pregnant that would indicated there has been intimacy. She is of an age where this baby could be her last chance at motherhood. If that’s why she married him she doesn’t need him anymore. We only have Weiner saying they have no plans to separate. Given his capacity for denial I’ve got to wonder if she has really agreed to stand by him.
I'm thinking a good beating would about cover it.
Ah yes, the famous and SO often used “I’ll seek treatment” BS from leftist sleazebags. And now the leftist media will become SOOOOOOOOOO understanding and SOOOOOOOOOO willing to defend the poor victim of an ILLNESS because he is going to seek treatment!!!! What a GOOOOOOOOOD person he is, to seek treatment, after all. Can’t criticize those who seek treatment now can we!!
