Way too easy.

Typically we wouldn't note such tabloid gutter trash as the pilot episode to the upcoming reality show "In The Carlos Danger Zone with the Weiners", but since what is going on in the farce that is NYC's mayoral race is just another analogy for America's broken market, broken politics, broken morals and, ultimately, broken society, this deserves at least a few words, so here they are. Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress after being exposed for having a "sexting problem." As it turns out the Democratic mayoral candidate's sexting problem never went away, and continued well after said resignation with at least one young female, with whom he used the alias "Carlos Danger" and likely more. We learn all this because despite simple logic, Weiner decided to not only run for mayor but following today's revelations, will continue his run for mayor as he announced at a just concluded press conference. And the most inexplicable twist in all this: his wife was there beside him, supporting him and urging him on in the mayoral race.
From The Hill:
New York City mayoral candidate and former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday admitted to exchanging additional sexually explicit messages with a younger woman over the Internet — well after an initial "sexting" scandal led him to resign in disgrace. In a dramatic press conference, Weiner's wife Huma Abedin stood by his side as he acknowledged his sexting problem was something the couple dealt with well after his summer 2011 resignation from Congress.
"Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of these things happened after," said Weiner, who added he was surprised more hadn't come out sooner.
Abedin, making her first comments to the press during Weiner's campaign, offered her full-fledged support and acknowledged his sexting continued after his resignation. "It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony," she said in a halting voice while reading a written statement. "It was not an easy choice in any way but I made the decision that it was wroth staying in this marriage. That was a decision I made for me, for our son, and for our family," she said.
"Anthony's made some horrible mistakes both before he resigned from Congress and after but I do believe that is between us and our marriage," she said. "We discussed all of this before Anthony decided he would run for mayor. So really what I want to say is I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward," she concluded.
Abedin has worked for Clinton as far back as 1996 when she was a White House intern. Clinton once said if she had a second daughter, it would be Abedin.
...
When he answered questions on Tuesday, Weiner repeatedly insisted the sexting was behind him even as he was vague about when the behavior had stopped.
"I am prepared not to dispute anything that is out there but suffice it to say that people are out there saying things that are not true," he said.
"But that's not the point, I accept the responsibility for having these conversations with these people who I never met, with exchanging inappropriate things in the context of our marriage and that was a mistake and I bear responsibility for that," he continued. "
"That is behind me and we're trying to move forward and we recognize it's not going to be easy. We knew at the moment we got into this race it wasn't going to be easy, but I believe I believe this is an important thing to be doing," he said.
But didn't he say just that two years ago when he quit for the same scandal? Oh wait, like the economy, "this time it's different." At least he didn't blame his pathological addiction to showing off his assorted body parts on the weather.
As for Weiner, it is difficult to handicap if today's revelations have hurt of helped his mayoral chances. Since America got the president it deserves, one can only extrapolate that New York City will get the mayor it too, rightfully, deserves.
“...This man has an OBVIOUS problem and is NOT FIT for leadership....”
He’s a liberal communist Rat so what else is new...LOL.
This is just another case showing that liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease. The man is sick in the head, a mental zombie so to speak.
If he’s elected, then the voters of NYC are getting just what they deserve.
Way too easy.
NY is the most expensive media market in the country. There are powerful forces with big bucks behind Weiner. He is a stalking horse for Hillary in 2016, and the entire Clinton political machine is behind him. (A revolting thought in itself!) Then there is the Saudi connection through his lovely, devoted wife, Huma. Connected as well to the Moslem Brohood.. her mother wears a burqa.
But that doesn’t add up to votes. The Republican, Joe Lhota, might have a chance if Weiner, Quinn, or Bill Thompson is the Democrat candidate.
The little Perv is prolly still sexting tonight.
Hillary should be asked if she supports Weiner’s candidacy
Beyond painful listening to Huma read her “stand by your man” lines to the cameras. Threw up in my mouth a little.
Who the HELL is Jim Gibbons???? Never heard of him!!! And you ARE a DU’er if you equate Republicans with Democrat “wives” standing by their CHEATING HUSBANDS!! Mrs. Livingstone DIDN’T....and you KNOW it.
his wife is an imbecile.
and he is GROSS. but I love his handle, Carlos Danger!!!
Who names their daughter Mayoral? Doh!!!!!
hell, in Kalifornicate, a politician flashing his dong on the web would make him a sure bet to serve in public office and NYC is the east coast SF. Wiener ought to be running for governor of NY cause in comparison, look at the slime bag that’s running Kalifornicate.
Y’know, there is a way for Texas to stop doing that.
I say let em ride their bikes and freeze in the dark.
Top Guns Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and Richard Gere.
Kenny Loggins ‘The Carlos Danger Zone’, all three saying “Even I’m not going there ...’ OK, scratch Val Kilmer, add Jeremy Irons.
Your photoshopping assignment, if you choose to accept it .....
Why should he? As a Democrat, this is just a resume enhancer for him...
He wanted to use Dirk Diggler as his handle but it was already taken.
Ha! I'm not quite up to it. So to speak.
But his wife is behind him (which is the safest place to be with a rampant Weiner).
Your hilarious. You are wigging out by my honesty. I love it. I pray for your blood pressure. You are so silly.
Seems he’s always pulling it out.
