I'm puzzled as to how Breitbart got hold of the pics.
Apparently one of the women he was "corresponding" with mentioned the exchange to a Republican friend, who suggested she contact Drudge and Breitbart. ABC has an interview with her. [link]
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Weiner meant to DM them on twitter
Seriously? Seriously? Does he have no sense of how precarious public office is?

I'm torn as to whether I'm more appalled by the sliminess or the stupidity.

Because books.
Breitbart might be evil, I just meant that neither he or Arianna (and I should have said "someone like Arianna") aren't journalists in the went to school for it, passed through the reporter trenches, blah blah, but definitely fall into the realm of journalism now, slimy or not.
My original point was simply how weird it was that he wound up onstage speaking before Weiner came out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
You know, I really don't CARE about politicians sex lives; what matters to me is the pure lying, sneaking and horribly ineffcient cover-ups that showcase a certain lack in the intellect department.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've struck a nice balance between the two on the "appalled-o-meter."

I'm sort of train-wrecky fascinated by how Jon Stewart will handle it.

Congrats Ethan!

I'm sure he'll give him the gears. He already has been. But I can also see Weiner doing The Daily Show for his "mea culpa" interview.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay Ethan!

Yeah, that. It is the same as I feel with the kids. Last weekend my son took advantage of us being out of town to party at my house with his friends. I was a teenager once; I expect this. I also expect that he should have had the good sense to clean up the bathing suits, towels, bottles, etc. Alas, no sense. He should perhaps consider a career in politics.
I'm disappointed. I like Weiner. I've enjoy watching him when he is on the tv. Now I will be shaking my head sadly when I see him. Kinda wanna smack him upside the head.

Me, too. I may turn on the TV tonight to find out in real time.
God, that's an interesting phrase, "real time." Hmm.
