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." more ›

Heh, just when everyone had momentarily forgotten about Anthony Weiner's spectacular, phallic-fueled flameout, along come the terrorists to kick him when he's down. The summer issue of the Al Qaeda magazine "Inspire" (check it out here if your issue hasn't arrived yet) devotes a full-page "parody" of Weiner's woes, calling him "an angry Weiner head." How do you say tee-hee in Arabic? more ›

If there's one person who "won" Weinergate, it was conservative reporter Andrew Breitbart, who was proven to have been right about his allegations regarding Anthony Weiner's sextual exploits. Not that it was always easy for him: before Weiner's announcement, he was accused of perpetrating a giant hoax, and after, he was criticized for pulling a Kanye during Weiner's initial press conference. But it seems Breitbart's instincts were generally right-on during the saga: it turns out there were a number of people who created fake Twitter accounts in order to gather more damning info on Weiner, which Brietbart refused to publish. more ›

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! more ›

Anthony Weiner is off to the Hamptons, so now the question becomes: "How do you solve a problem like the 9th District?" An especially tricky question since the seat is looking increasingly like a lame-duck spot that will get redistricted out of existence. If you are Rudy Giuliani you apparently think the seat is a natural fit for the young bicycle-unfriendly Queens councilman Eric Ulrich. But there are a whole lot of other names being bandied about already, including former councilwoman Melida Katz, Assemblyman Rory Lancman, Councilman Mark S. Weprin and Bob Turner, who tried to unseat Weiner in the last election. Also? At least one person is calling for Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, to make a go for it. more ›

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. more ›

Anthony Weiner withdrew from Congress today, but the sexless Weinergate scandal isn't quite petered out. Andrew Cuomo still needs to set a special election to replace the randy Representative, police just finished investigating a—wait for it—a suspicious package at Weiner's DC office (turned out to be nothing) and the Post, clearly sad to have to tuck their dick jokes back in, is letting its readers vote on their best Weiner covers. more ›

Representative Anthony Weiner, whose self-tweeted crotch-shot put him at the center of a whirlwind media circus for the past three weeks, just gave a press conference in Brooklyn in which he resigned from Congress, amidst a series of catcalls from the audience. He apologized for "the distraction that I have created." more ›

Sources tell the NY Times Anthony Weiner has told his friends he is stepping down. The news comes after Anthony Weiner's wife came back to the States and Democrats in Congress were poised to try persuade her sexty husband to step down. The Democrats were threatening to strip Weiner of his assignments on the Energy and Commerce committee, while some of Weiner's fellow Representatives were beginning to stand up for their toned congressional colleague. Weiner is expected to announce his resignation at a press conference at 2 p.m. today. more ›

As more and more of his Democratic colleagues have called for his head on an invisible skewer, Rep. Anthony Weiner has delayed making a decision on whether to resign until he could consult with his pregnant wife. Today, Huma Abedin returned to Washington from an overseas trip with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. And she's back just in time to see new embarrassing photos of Weiner in bras and pantyhose, as well as porn star Ginger Lee's public airing of her Weiner sexts. more ›

The chorus of Democrats calling for the resignation of apparent gym rat Rep Anthony Weiner gained a big voice yesterday when President Obama chimed in, telling Ann Curry that he "would resign" if it were him—not that Obama's opinion on the resignation status of New York Congressmen has mattered much before (*cough* Charlie Rangel *cough*). Oh, and speaking of the Harlem Representative, Rangel's defense of Weiner made for excellent fodder on The Daily Show last night. more ›

Thanks to TMZ's release this weekend of his gym photo shoot, the already intense pressure for randy Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign just keeps building to a climax. But while Weiner may now be considering stepping down (while in "treatment"), there is some concern that the Congressman's post-pumping iron pics may be the smoking gun needed to smack him with an ethics violation. more ›

This afternoon, some unhappy constituents in New York's 9th Congressional district brought out their homemade signs to Rep. Anthony Weiner's Queens office to demand that he resign. Even though Weiner is off to sexting rehab, and isn't there, these frustrated residents tell NY1 it's not enough. One Juniper Park Civic Association member said, "We worked with Anthony Weiner in the past, he helped us with things in the neighborhood. But now he's stepped over the boundaries. He really went a step too far, and this is where we're telling him he has to step down." more ›

Yesterday, as several prominent Democratic leaders called for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign amidst his ongoing sexting scandal, Weiner announced that he was checking himself into a psychological treatment center while he weighs his future in the House. Weiner has been under increasingly intense pressure to resign all week, to the point that friends say he has become distraught and fragile behind the scenes. To add to this mess, TMZ also uncovered new semi-nude photos of Weiner, which he took at the House Members Gym, and sent to at least one woman. more ›

If Rep. Anthony Weiner thought that announcing he was heading to rehab for his excessive sexting would stop the bleeding of Weinergate, he was evidently very wrong: TMZ has uncovered new "self-portraits" of Weiner, which he took on his Blackberry at the House Members Gym. And it appears that Weiner really, really likes to cradle his balls. more ›
