Anthony Weiner's Wee Weiner: Disgraced Ex-Rep And Wife Welcome Baby Jordan

Here's one baby with a lot of baggage: Jordan Zane Weiner was born to former Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin yesterday. The Post reports that the baby was born "10 days before the New Year’s Eve due date" and he "checked in at just over 7 pounds, a source said."

The pregnancy of Abedin, who is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's top aide (Clinton was at the baby shower last week), added another twist to Weiner's social networking scandal, which involved him having sexy online relationships with numerous women and sharing photographs of his genitals. Weiner, who was positioning himself to run for mayor in 2013, made the mistake of sharing a crotch photograph on Twitter publicly when he apparently meant to direct message it to a young female fan. The Democrat eventually resigned in disgrace.

Abedin has not said anything publicly (she never appeared at her husband's press conference) but tabloid reports suggested she would have left him if not for the pregnancy.

The only "baggage" is that scandal sheets refuse to move on from a non-story.

Congrats you two. This baby will solve all of your marital problems.

Personally I agree that just being married to this schmuck constitutes a "marital problem", but I laugh when people assume that because he's flirting (pathetically yes, but still) with other women that his wife has a problem with that. Not everyone lives in Ozzie and Harriet world. For all we know Huma and Tony are having threesomes with Hillary on the regular.

Err.....okay.......that image disturbed me too....but you get my point....

What are you talking about?

It's just crap begetting more crap. If that is their lives as you say, they are only working to propagate and continue that life by bringing more helpless souls into their world.
