The husband of Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin resigned from Congress in 2011 when he was caught tweeting shots of his tumescent privates to a number of women not his wife.
Over the three weeks between the story breaking and the seven-term Democrat’s resignation from his House seat, Weiner tried but failed to make light of his colossally bad judgment.
Yet his pronouncements only made him look worse, as when for example Weiner said of his female correspondents, “To the best of my knowledge, they were all adults.”
Observers figured that Weiner must have cleaned up his act when he ran for mayor of New York in 2013 — because, well, surely he would not risk putting his wife and young son through a second-time-around sexting scandal.
Lying next to Weiner was his toddler son — who appears to be napping and, I would like to think, unaware of what his father was up to.
News reports informed that the couple had been separated for close to a year.
[...] on Monday, the selfie king showed that he had learned something useful when he shuttered his Twitter account.
