THE BIG APPLE: Weiner's media rehab ignores larger scandal
World Net Daily ^ | 4/12/2013 | Diana West

Times piece has sex details, not wife's Muslim Brotherhood connections.

More than 5,000 words into the New York Times Magazine report on everything ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and his wife, Huma Abedin, want you to know about Weiner’s “sexting” scandal that led him to resign from Congress in 2011, reporter Jonathan Van Meter pauses the story.

Van Meter, a contributing editor at Vogue and New York Magazine, had worked diligently on this New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story – multiple interviews with Weiner and Abedin, both as a couple and separately. On some level, the prurient banality of what he was writing about must have gotten to him.

As he described listening to Weiner discuss the “original behavior” that culminated in the elected official, husband and father-to-be sending a photo of his own torso “wearing gray boxer briefs and an obvious erection” to 45,000 Twitter followers (rather than privately to a 21-year-old college student in Seattle), Van Meter writes: “I startled myself that day when, after two hours of listening while he unburdened himself, I heard these words come out of my mouth: ‘Maybe we should stop there for now.’ Never has an interview felt so much like a therapy session.”

And there were still 3,000 words and a crying outburst (Weiner’s) to go. This last event took place over the “enormous root-beer float” Weiner ordered after dinner, as opposed to his more restrained tearing-up over breakfast.

Abedin broke down, too, or so she ‘fessed up to Van Meter, two days after the scandal went public. As a top adviser to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Abedin was en route to Africa when a supportive phone call came in from the White House.

“With tears streaming down her face, she turned to (Clinton staffers) and began talking about some,,,

Anthony's wiener scandal was hilarious. Here is this self-righteous jerk exposing himself to the world on the internet whilst his Muslim wife-thingy who was Hillary's 'closest' friend and traveling bunkmate was crying her eyes out over Anthony's sophomoric behavior. He was probably getting pretty horny as his new wifey preferred close contact with her female pals.

We must break up the massive corruption and takeover of our country by exposing the Obama fraud. He has stacked the federal positions yp enable his evil agenda. The mainstream meadia must be exposed as the state-approved propaganda machine that is has become. We have an illegal presidential administration that must be busted wide open in an effort save our country.

It should be astounding that the ignorant public accepts these disingenuous power mad people with globalist intentions and actually vote for them to represent decent law-abiding and God-fearing people. They are beyond all contempt and are the personification of evil itself.

From the headline, I thought that the "larger scandal" was Weiner's righteous indignation when lying to reporters about this, then attacking the reporters verbally, then claiming that his email was hacked, prompting calls for an FBI investigation.

Hey NYC. Have you see your weiner? A disgraced (NOT!) pos running for mayor to replace the current pos mayor? At least your weiner actually declares he’s a demokkkrat. A shoe in just like convicted d.c. maryann berry was several years ago. Based on your actions, no one in NYC should be able to pass a background check due to mental disability. Maybe we should name it deranged voters syndrome. A new “condition” for the psych books. Bizzaro world!

"But if I change my last name from Abedin to Weiner will
the Taliban and Al-Qaeda still be able to contact me?"

The guy is a beard. It’s that simple.

The Muslim Brotherhoods top agent has inserted herself into American politics by her high position with hillary. (No telling what else she inserted either.)

It’s ridiculous tobelieve that someone whose Mother Father, and Brother are agents of the Brotherhood is not an agent herself. No investigation though, Her Muslim supervisor -—Obama will see to that.
