    Well that's pretty unbelievable. So, he's continued sexting up until about a year ago, but has been clean since then. Didn't he expect this would come out?

    What an ass, putting his wife through all of this. As for her, I just don't understand, and quite frankly, she looks a bit weak.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        More than just a bit. Despite every attempt by the popular press to make her out as some type of transcendent being, she looks like a moron.

          “I hope they are willing to still continue to give me a second chance and I hope they realize that in many ways what happened today was something that frankly had happened before, but it doesn’t represent all that much that is new,” Mr. Weiner said.
          Seems like he's asking for a third chance

            "I'm surprised more things hadn't come out sooner," Weiner said Tuesday. "Things aren't that much different than they were yesterday."


            I agree with Weiner's statement.

              I just watched the press conference. Her statement was awkward. I was cringing like I do in a pew during a terrible musical number.

              It's too bad Jon Stewart is on hiatus.

                I wonder if Obama will beat him again?

                          It's not difficult to figure her out; she's Mrs. Clinton on a smaller scale. She's power-hungry and knows that being married to who will most likely be elected to the office of mayor of NY will open political doors for her. She may not run for office, but she'll be privy to a lot of behind-the-scenes situations that will allow her to push any agenda she may have.

                            It is how elites have always viewed marriage.

                              Here is a biography of Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin. She's actually very accomplished and ambitious. As we saw with her mentor, with such women these public positions are not about weakness; on the contrary, they display strength and ambition and savvy. I'm sure Hillary is giving her good advice right now. She is also devoutly religious and no doubt realizes that marriage and family are of ultimate importance, certainly more important than vindicating personal pride or ego.
