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.

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

Weinergate Is BACK: Weiner Sext Partner's New Book Will Not Make Huma Happy
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."
Weiner Sells Sexy Forest Hills Sexting Apartment
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.
Weiner Will Head To "Rehab" While His Wife Huma Hides
Though it feels like more, it has been two weeks since Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress over his sextra-curricular habits and the Post just won't leave the man alone. And we just can't look away. Since leaving office Weiner has bought cheap flowers for his wife, took her out to dinner where he allegedly left a bad tip and tried to ingratiate himself into the decision of who his successor will be. And now the paper reports that not only is Weiner finally going to go to that rehab (for sexting?) he'd talked about before, his pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, is taking a break from work.

Nearly unrecognizable with his clothes on, former Congressman Anthony "Crotch Shot" Weiner was spotted in Manhattan yesterday with wife Huma Abedin. The couple had brunch at La Bottega in Chelsea—a waiter told the Daily News, "No one was really positive that it was him, but then we saw the name on the credit card and we were like, 'Wow, it's really him." And the waiter revealed Weiner seemed "really tense" and left a bad tip.
Weiner Bouquet: Terrible Political Husband Buys Crappy Flowers
What could make disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner's week suck even more after formally resigning from the House of Representatives? Having Rupert Murdoch's iPad-only publication, The Daily, follow him as he buys $22.97 worth of flowers from a bodega in Queens, "Looking casual in a chambray button-down and jeans — maybe we’ll see an unemployment beard to match his dressed-down duds soon? — the overexposed Democratic pol passed over the long-stemmed red roses and jaunty yellow sunflowers in favor of three bundles of carnations in red, white and blue." Yeah, carnations!
Weiner's Women: Wife "Feels Trapped In Marriage," Sext Partner Doesn't Regret Their Chats
The one player in former Congressman Anthony Weiner's downfall that everyone wants to hear from is his pregnant wife, Huma Abedin. But she has not been seen at any public appearances with Weiner—not at his Twitter crotch shot confession nor at his resignation, though she was spotted with him at a grocery store. Now, the Post reports she "feels hopelessly trapped in her marriage to the disgraced pol, whose online antics have completely disgusted her once-supportive family," according to a source. (The Post's sub-headline: "Huma feels cornered carrying Weiner bun.")
Weiner Wooed By Hustler, Entourage; Soothed By Spitzer, Obama
So now that Anthony Weiner has cast off the shackles of public office, and the tug-of-war for control of his old district has begun, what will the former Congressman do next? He may not be speaking at Brooklyn Technical High School graduation tonight, but he has already gotten a couple of tantalizing job offers: Entourage creator Doug Ellin has asked Weiner to cameo as himself on the final season of the HBO show. And Hustler impresario Larry Flynt very sincerely offered Weiner a high-paid position in the Internet group of Flynt Management Group. Just like he did with Carl Paladino!
Huma Told Weiner To Pack It In, Couple Finally Seen Together In Supermarket
Noticeably absent from the Anthony Weiner resignation press conference/circus yesterday was his pregnant wife Huma Abedin, who is reportedly "beyond numb - frozen and angry," a source tells the Daily News. As Weiner was heckled by Howard Stern's sidekick Benjy ("Goodbye, perv!" and "Are you seven inches?" were among his taunts before he was escorted out), the disgraced politician stood alone onstage. As the Post's Andrea Peyser notes, "There were no porn stars, strippers, or high-school-age groupies on hand to cushion his fall. His parents were no-shows, as was his brother. Mentor Chuck Schumer was too busy." And his wife remains out of the public eye, though sources say she told her husband to quit.
Huma Returns, Just In Time For Cross-Dressing Weiner Pics And Porn Star Sext Details

Here's The Queens Apartment Where Weiner Sent Topless, Pussy Photos
- Here's proof that Rep. Anthony Weiner wasn't sending his sext partners messages and photos from his Congressional office—at least some of the disclosed photographs were taken from the Forest Hills, Queens apartment he shares with (now pregnant) wife Huma Abedin. The couple had put the two-bedroom condo on the market, but the Post said they "suddenly yanked the condo off the selling block a few days ago, said a broker with Madeleine Realty, which was handling the sale." If you look at the listing photographs, you'll notice some things:
- The same filing cabinet appears in the "topless" photograph as in the listing's study/second bedroom photo.
- Another listing photo of the study shows a PC—with a webcam—opposite the filing cabinet.
- The couch and shelf in the "Me and the pussys" photograph is the same as the couch and shelf in the living room listing photograph.
Video: Weiner's Pregnant Wife Huma Abedin On Overseas State Dept. Visit
With calls for her embattled, embarrassing husband to resign getting louder, Huma Abedin is on a State Department trip in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Abedin and Rep.

Anthony Weiner in a New York hotel Monday night." The friend adds, "She loves her husband very much. She is committed to her husband and her marriage." But guess who is really unhappy: Abedin's boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton, who officiated the couple's wedding.

Anthony Weiner and Vegas blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss have been disclosed (Radar calls them "explicit and embarrassing" which is an understatement—here's a PDF), the question comes back to, "Why the hell was Weiner doing this, as a successful Congressman married to a smart and beautiful woman?"

Video: Crying Weiner Admits To Sending Explicit Photographs Of Himself To Various Women

Weiner to Tie the Knot
The 2009 campaign season may have left us with the distinct impression that Congressman Anthony Weiner is a bit of a tease, but apparently Weiner was just playing Gotham's Democratic voters while he was actually doing groundwork on the sole endorsement he was aiming for—from girlfriend Huma Abedin. Weiner and Abedin, the Hillary Clinton aide whom the News calls "glamorous" and "a linchpin of Clinton's entourage," just went public, but it turns out the proposal happened right around the time Weiner backed out of the mayoral race with an allusion to wanting to "start a family." The pair got outed in a NYT piece on former Clinton strategist and current Bloomberg campaign mastermind Howard Wolfson who dropped the "f" bomb (the other one) when referring to the two. The possible future Huma Weiner has apparently been courted by John Cusack and George Clooney in the past, which we believe beats his links to foreign models. She also happens to be Muslim, to which Gawker says "maybe he will be less of an asshole now." How sweet!
