Last weekend Staten Island Republican Michael Grimm's reelection campaign got a boost from casual swearing and New York Times bashing, and on Wednesday the borough's GOP executive committee unanimously endorsed his candidacy, despite reports that he strong-armed $500K in illegal cash donations from the followers of Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto. Today, The Staten Island Advance reports that it was former Rep. Anthony Weiner who alerted Grimm's Democratic opponent Mike McMahon that something was amiss in Grimm's campaign coffers in 2010. more ›

Aha! Former Congressman Anthony Weiner, whose political career was torpedoed by some terrible sexting (crotch shots, depressingly intimate chats, terrible self-portraits) is not totally off the grid when it comes to his new son's birth. According to the Post, Weiner sent a message via Blackberry—"Subject: Jordan Zain Weiner"—stated the short but sweet text. “7lbs 5.8 oz of sparkling wonder; Did I mention his mom is amazing?; We love you for welcoming him." more ›

Crazed shoppers with an affection for hot shirtless guys weren't the only ones out and about scouring for Black Friday deals—disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner went bargain shopping with pregnant wife Huma Abedin. And Weiner took the opportunity to show off the newest addition to their family: his mustache. Check out pictures here, or just gaze longingly at our 'stache approximation. more ›

Maybe that gay Anthony Weiner sploof wasn't so ill-timed? Because just when you thought it was safe to ignore Anthony Weiner again—BAM!—one of his old sexting mistresses has decided to write a book, evocatively titled I Freinded [sic] You. Beyond offering Georgia teacher Traci Nobles a chance to let out her side of the story while simultaneously embarrassing Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin (not to mention her family) the book gives us all a chance to settle in with some good old fashioned sext poetry. For instance! "Omg. I didn't think I could get any harder. That is a perfect pussy. I'm not used to such a perfect pussy. Baby you're beautiful." more ›

Our newest member of congress, Bob Turner, had a very busy day yesterday. Beyond getting sworn in and making a tiny procedural gaffe his first time at bat, he had a day full of meetings and congratulations. Also, he found Anthony Weiner's old toothbrush and requested that his office bathroom be sanitized post haste. more ›

The 9th District's new representative in Congress, Bob Turner, will be sworn in today, and his fellow Republicans are interpreting his special election victory as A SIGN that Obama is a one term president. Former Mayor Ed Koch, whose endorsement of Turner was pivotal, is also reading the tea leaves, and says Obama would have to be "pretty blind" not to get the message that the Jewish vote is up for grabs. "Now the president knows he cannot take the Jewish vote for granted," Koch told the Post yesterday, suggesting that Democrat David Weprin lost because of Obama's Israel policy. Jon Stewart, on the other hand, blamed Anthony Weiner's "self portrait." more ›

Bob Turner, a Queens businessman, crushed the presumptive heir to Anthony Weiner's vacated House seat yesterday, winning the 9th Congressional District by a margin of more than eight percent (with 84 percent of districts counted just after midnight). Republicans are characterizing the special election victory as a stern rebuke of President Obama, and a sign that White House is theirs for the taking. Turner's opponent, David Weprin, has not yet formally conceded, but last night Turner told his exultant supporters: more ›

The special election to replace Anthony Weiner in Congress (for a year at least) is going on right now, which means the onslaught of robo-calls directed at potential Brooklyn and Queens voters in the ninth district is finally almost over. Soon enough we will find out if last minute automated messages from the likes of Andrew Cuomo and Bill Clinton will be enough to push Democratic Assemblyman David Weprin down to DC. In the last two polls Weprin was trailing Bob Turner, his nemesis in the GOP. Meanwhile, just in case you forgot about him, everybody's favorite bulging former representative with a Twitter habit, without whom none of this would be possible, is back in the news today! more ›

The race for Anthony's Weiner's old seat in Queens' solidly Democratic Ninth District has given voters a somewhat crappy choice in Tuesday's special election. Neither candidate knows much about their district, and while Republican candidate Bob Turner has indiscriminately picked up endorsements from Donald Trump, Ed Koch, and Rudy Giuliani, while mostly keeping his mouth shut, Democrat David Weprin has released an idiotic 9/11-invoking ad, stupidly cancelled a debate, and is hoping a video of him dancing in 2009 will make him seem less like a wet Saltine to voters. As of yesterday, Turner is up by six percentage points. more ›

The final battle for Anthony Weiner's vacated ninth district seat will come to a head next Tuesday—Democratic candidate David Weprin seemed to have the hometurf advantage, but Republican candidate Bob Turner has netted himself some big-name backers, including Ed Koch and The Mayor Of 9/11 Town. But none of that matters now, because Big Poppa Donald Trump has entered the building. more ›

The special election to take Anthony Weiner's seat in Congress is coming up fast (next Tuesday!) and the race is a tight one. Despite being in a heavily Democratic area the Republican nominee, Bob Turner, has picked up a strong string of endorsements (not just former mayors Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani but also the editorial boards at the Post and the News) and is nipping at the heels of Democratic candidate David Weprin, who is fighting back with a quarter-million in television ads. But Dems are starting to get antsy that this race is way too close for comfort. "The idea that this race is so close is a humiliation for the Democratic Party," a New York Democratic official told the Post. Also? Jerry Springer is a relavent character in this whole thing! No, really. more ›

Republican Bob Turner is running for Anthony Weiner's Congressional seat in a special election against Democrat David Weprin this September 13. He has former mayor Ed Koch's endorsement (Koch is trying to get back at President Obama over Obama's stance on Israel) but now he's venturing into Rudy Giuliani territory—by opposing the so-called "Ground Zero" mosque. Check out this Turner ad attacking Weprin for supporting the Park 51 community center (which would include a mosque) proposed for blocks from Ground Zero, calling the mosque "a purposeful and confrontational act of provocation": more ›

Former Congressman Anthony Weiner has been keeping a low profile after his no-sex sex scandal—he maybe left a bad tip and buys crappy flowers—but he has one less thing to worry about: He sold the two-bedroom Forest Hills apartment he shares with his wife, State Department staffer Huma Abedin. Of course, this is the apartment where he posed for a few self-portraits so whoever buys it next will probably have to burn bushels of sage for cleansing. more ›

Democratic New Jersey county official Louis Magazzu resigned yesterday after nude photos that he took of himself surfaced on a Republican blogger's website. The Daily News reports that the 53-year-old freeholder for more than a decade has been separated from his wife for two years, and sent the pictures to a woman in Chicago who he met online, but has never seen in person. "I did not know that she was working with an avowed political enemy to distribute these pictures," Magazzu said. The pol will be sentenced to 3 years in prison for didn't actually break any laws but apparently it's tough to govern when people have seen your naughty parts. At least if you don't show them around the old fashioned way. more ›

As promised, former NYC mayor Ed Koch endorsed Republican Bob Turner yesterday for Anthony Weiner's seat in the 9th District special election on September 13, but it probably didn't go down as Turner wanted it to. According to the Daily News, Koch blasted the GOP for their handling of the debt ceiling crisis: "I think the Republicans are scoundrels in the way they're handling the matter." Turner tried to put on a happy face: "That's vintage Ed." He's a great man. I'm not going to take issue with a couple of political shots in the grand scheme of things." Presumably Turner then said, "Haha! 'Scoundrels!' Ed can I talk to you in private for a second?" more ›

It's no secret that former NYC mayor and structure that helps people get from Manhattan to Queens Ed Koch is angry at President Obama for suggesting that Israel and Palestine begin negotiations at the 1967 borders. Koch has strongly hinted that he'll endorse GOP candidate Bob Turner over Democrat David Weprin for Anthony Weiner's empty seat in the 9th District to exact a Scott Brownian revenge on Barry. It appears that Koch will do just that: the Daily News reports that Koch will make "an announcement" to the press at 11 a.m. on Monday. "I'll be endorsing [Turner], but you'll have to come to get the reason," Koch told the paper. Et tu, Eddie? more ›

We guess that getting made fun of by Al Qaeda really is hitting rock bottom: since his sextra-cirricular flame-out last month, former Rep. Anthony Weiner has been laying low, spending some quality time with the wife, and embracing his sex rehab. But according to the Post, a friend of Weiner's says the disgraced pol admitted that he still has a lot to prove to a few special women in his life: "My problem is that I have three women I have to convince that I'm cured: Huma, her mother -- and Hillary." more ›

Former NYC mayor Ed Koch is pissed that President Obama suggested this spring that a Palestinian state should be created from the 1967 borders. So much so that he's written, "If President Obama does not change his position, I cannot vote for his reelection." Nevermind that what the president actually meant was that negotiations would start from those borders and work outward, Koch wants to "put a shot across Obama's bow," and is doing so by endorsing GOP candidate Bob Turner over Democrat David Weprin for the special election in former Congressman Anthony Weiner's Ninth District. Orthodox Jew and New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is not happy about this, calling Koch's behavior "totally inappropriate." more ›

Whether you think former Rep. Anthony Weiner was brought down by a "digital mob" or by his own arrogance and stupidity, there's one thing for sure: the man sent out a lot of gross sexts. But a new study finds that he's slightly in the minority when it comes to the battle of the sexting sexes: women are more likely to sext than men are. Or, to be more accurate, women looking to cheat who filled out a survey on AshleyMadison.com are more willing to admit that they sext than men on that site who are also looking to cheat. more ›
