Before the NY Democrat, now embroiled in a scandal over a crotch shot posted on his Twitter feed, got married in 2009, his love life fed the rumor mill for years.

Before his 2009 marriage to Huma Abedin, an aide to Hillary Clinton, Weiner was known as one of Washington's most eligible bachelors, with a long and glamorous list of exes.

But perhaps no incident is as infamous as his encounter with a young staffer two days after 9/11, recounted in a Vanity Fair article that year.

Vicky Ward, a reporter for the magazine, was tracking Diana Davis, a young congressional staffer who bragged, "Maybe I'll bag me a senator" after snagging her Hill gig.

Davis & a friend were at the D.C. restaurant Capital Grille when they met a group of suited men.

One, a goateed young man, introduced himself as "Anthony," and said he was an auto-parts salesman.

The next day, Weiner sent Davis an email-although she initially didn't know he was a congressman.

"He writes that he hopes they might meet again," Ward wrote.

"Diana is overwhelmed that he's managed to think of her on a day that must be heavy with import & emotional intensity.

Last night he mentioned that he'd be going to Manhattan to inspect the WTC wreckage with the president."

Davis said Weiner had emailed that she could visit him in his office "in person," a suggestion she found "cheesy."

Weiner denied offering any invitation & explained that he didn't like to identify himself as a congressman when socializing.

Even if nothing happened with Davis, Weiner's love life was a topic of conversation.

The NY Daily News once published a gallery of "Weiner's Women."

In 2008, Weiner sponsored a bill to increase the number of visas available to models by 1,000.
