Weiner Assures He’s ’100 Percent Not’ Sexting Anymore, Annoyed That People Are Still Badgering Him A

Anthony Weiner has clearly had it with the media’s lack of self-control. During an interview with WNBC’s Andrew Siff on Friday, Weiner got testy about the constant barrage of questions being thrown at him over his past sexting, assuring that he is “100 percent” done with it and frustratedly asked, when he could get to talking about the issues facing New Yorkers.

Weiner said he stopped texting around “this period, a year or so ago,” though he couldn’t say for certain because he deleted everything. He made it clear that he is “100 percent not” texting anymore as of this year.

When Siff pushed him further, Weiner let loose on his line of questioning.

Weiner got caught sexting two years ago, humiliated himself, his wife, and the young woman in Seattle. He resigned from his U.S. House seat. He apparently went away for a while. He returns to politics by entering the NYC mayoral contest. He is outed again for sexting. His most recent sexting came out just a couple weeks ago, and he's annoyed that he is still being questioned about it? He will be asked about it for a long time to come because I think most people assume that he has assumed another nom de plume and has purchased a TracFone and is continuing with his sexting.

...where he takes questions on sexting only while simultaneously inviting big-name comedians to show up and mock him mercilessly. Only then can he honestly say there's nothing more to say about it.

Pretty much no one believes him anymore about anything. He's done.

10. Tim Tebow, Anthony Weiner and me, a set of aces

I think it's absurdly funny to watch millions of people kick his azz up and down the street in a self righteous display of personal judgement and social justice. Coordinated by a group of people who coincidentally spend 88 billion per year on the porn industry today. That my friend is an awful lot of hypocrisy. The question may be why do as American's love to see other's fail? Why will we not allow him the opportunity for redemption? Why do they hate Tim Tebow?
