Weiner deletes Twitter account after new sexting allegations

http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/29/politics/anthony-weiner-sexting-trump-supporter/index.html

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who torpedoed his own political career five years ago with a sexting scandal and whose wife is Hillary Clinton's closest adviser, has deleted his Twitter account after allegedly sending sexually suggestive photos again.

A Donald Trump supporter told the New York Post that the two of them exchanged racy photos over the course of about a year, including one exchange where she alleges that he sexted her with his son apparently sleeping next to him.

supporter purposely tried to entrap him. Of course, Weiner is still at fault here, but it seems strange that he happened to sext with a Trump supporter (only because they're so rare)! LOL

But I would expect Team Drumpf to exploit this latest Weiner gaffe politically. Have they done that yet? Hopefully Abedin isn't targeted by them. She's suffered enough!

so I don't see how they could make any comparisons to the bad behavior of the Trump staff etc.

Is there such a thing as a sexting addict?
Whatever he is, it's costing him just about everything. His career, his marriage and his son.

He had a bright mind, but he's just a sick puppy.


Now he can pursue his obsession and she can get on with her life without that albatross around her neck.

Three Strikes, Anthony--now put the damn bat down and leave the field!

Bernadette's father says this to Howard, who is worrying about what happens if he doesn't make it back from the ISS.

Another famous quote you should acquaint yourself with:

I do feel sorry for her having to have such an embarrassing incident swirling around her. As it is she gave her husband one more chance than mine might have gotten.
