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.

"Congrats to Huma Abedin & Anthony Weiner...July 10, 2010"

I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with the article, but... who on earth would name their kid “Tony Weiner?”
It could have been worse. They might have named him Oscar.
Give poor Huma a sandwich, someone!!!!
His wife needs a cheezburger
Cheese Di*k is probably more appropriate
“One, a goateed young man, introduced himself as “Anthony,” and said he was an auto-parts salesman.”
I’d say more like a used car salesman but that would give used car salesmen a bad name.
I don’t believe this story. Anthony is too much of a douche to be a “ladies man”. If it weren’t for the fact he hates America as much as he does I doubt he’d have landed Huma.
Cheese Di*k is probably more appropriate
Goodness!!!! Does he starve that woman! Yikes - get her some carbs quick before she blows away with the wind!!!
He is not attractive at all, so I don’t see it.
Well, one can hardly blame him for trying to hide his embarrassing career choice.
When Henry Kissinger quipped that power is the ultimate aphrodesiac, he wasn’t kidding. Wiener, Arnold Horshak’s twin brother, is a living embodiment of it. It certainly ain’t that homely mug of his that gets the babes.
Full court press on the lurid heterosexual stuff. Must be one heck of a gay story about to break regarding Weiner.
This reminds me of nothing so much as Obama’s Vera Baker PR blitz.
OMG married less than a year ago, and already sending weiner pictures to other girls
Hillary with aide, Huma.
What is it about Dum women that they get all tingly for this weird men. Kucenick (sp) now weenie. ?????????
