Weiner

Shit.

This is the worst. This is the worst.

Doing a documentary on my scandal-

Hi.

I don’t know.

I guess the-the punch line is-is true about me.

I did the things.

But I did a lot of other things too.

- Mr. Speaker, l yield one minute

to the distinguished gentleman from New York, Mr. Weiner.

- Great courage to wait until all members have already spoken

and then stand up and wrap your arms around procedure.

You vote yes if you believe yes.

You vote in favor of something

if you believe it's the right thing.

If you believe it's the wrong thing, you vote no.

We are following a procedure- - Will the gentleman yield?

- I will not yield to the gentleman,

and the gentleman will observe regular order.

The gentleman will observe regular order.

It's Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans

rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes.

It is a shame- a shame

if you believe this is a bad idea

to provide health care, then vote no!

But don't give me the cowardly view that,

"Oh, if it was a different procedure!"

The gentleman will observe regular order

and sit down!

I will not!

It's about damn time.

It was an absolute pleasure to see a Democrat not cowering.

- Is it not the rules of the House

that under Clause 10-A of Rule 21,

what the Speaker articulated in this sentence

is in fact the rule.

The gentleman is untimely.

Encroachment in third reading of the bill.

Those in favor will signify by saying, "Aye."

- No question the guy knows how to fight.

He's scrappy, he's combative,

he's always been a great fighter

on behalf of the people.

- He never backed down from anybody.

- You should urge them to vote yes,

something the gentleman has not done.

- You're scaring the hell out of people on the right.

- That's the sum and substance of Obamacare.

That's your idea.

Why don't you like it, now that we work the law?

I got 94% of my colleagues. What percent did you get?

How did that Whip organization go?

How's that Cracker Jack Peter King

Whip organization working out?

Stop whining and get the bill passed.

Boy, that was passionate.

I'm glad somebody's finally put their foot down

and says we're not taking it anymore.

- Weiner is a rising star in Congress.

- Married to one of Hillary Clinton's closest advisors...

- Bill Clinton officiated their Wedding.

- Ladies and gentlemen, the honorable, Anthony Weiner.

- We turn now to Washington, Where trouble is brewing

for a high-profile New York congressman.

- It all started Friday night at 11:30 p.m.

- A photo of an anonymous man's bulging underwear...

- Was tweeted from Congressman Weiner's account.

- Tell me definitively, is that a photograph of you?

I'm reluctant to say to you

definitively anything about this.

- And we're trying to- - So it's possible-

- We're trying to get to the bottom of

what it's of and who it's of.

- Have you ever taken a picture like this of yourself?

I have photographs.

I don't know what photographs

are out there in the world of me.

I don't know what things have been manipulated and doctored.

- You would know if this is your underpants.

- At an emergency press conference, the truth came out,

like a...

Like a dolphin wiggling free of a blanket.

- To be clear, the picture was of me, and I sent it.

- Please welcome Congressman Weiner's underwear.

Now, /am not happy about it.

But any time a new Wiener photo comes out,

as a television host, lam constitutionally obliged

to show them to you.

I took an oath.

- He first and foremost apologizes to his wife, Huma.

She's pregnant with their first child.

- I am deeply regretting what I have done

and I am not resigning.

If it was me, I would resign.

- Today I'm announcing my resignation from Congress.

- Yeah! - Bye-bye, pervert!

- Okay, okay. Okay, ready?

Ready, get on here.

And Daddy's gonna pick you up.

Whoa!

Whoa!

And down!

- Was there a moment when you realized,

"/ have to lie about this?" Or was it-

Oh, almost immediately.

I was like, "I gotta"- I mean...

Yes.

Yes, I mean, of...

So, I mean, yes.

But, yeah, I knew instantly, it was-it was pretty bad.

- What was Hume's reaction when you told her?

- Her-told her the truth? - Told her what happened.

- Told her the truth or told her, you know,

somethings going down here?

- Well, walk me through it. So...

- I don't remember. - I think that...

I mean, it was a period of time that, I mean,

I'd lied to her- I mean, I lied to her too.

I didn't, like, 'fess up to her and then lie to the world.

I was-the primary person I was trying to protect

finding out about this was Huma.

- And so, "/ think I was hacked."

I think, you know, Whatever it is.

l mean, the same stories I was telling.

I Was-it started out as my-my telling her.

- Did Huma want you to get back into politics?

Well, she did.

Uh...she did.

She was very eager to get her life back

that I had taken from her,

to clean up the mess that I had made.

Running for mayor was the straightest line to do it.

- Former congressman Anthony Weiner made it official.

He is going to run for mayor.

He made his announcement on the Web.

Every day starts right here.

- Honey, I gotta go. - All right, good-bye.

And it's the best part of my day.

All right.

- Last time Anthony Weiner made Waves on the Internet

it ended his career in Congress.

This morning, he's outwith a highly-choreographed video

announcing he will be a candidate

for the 2013 mayor's race here in New York.

- Look, /made some big mistakes,

and I know I let a lot of people down,

but I've also /earned some tough lessons.

I'm running for mayor 'cause I've been fighting

for the middle class and those struggling to make it

my entire life.

And I hope I get a second chance to work for you.

New York City should be

the middle class capital of the world,

and I've got some ideas on how to do it.

64 of them. Right on my website.

Take a look, tell me what you think.

We love this city,

and no one will work harder to make it better than Anthony.

- I will fight for you every single day.

Thank you for watching.

Why are they filming you?

- I can't- I don't know.

most of the time, I don't know why they're filming me.

- Are you somebody I'm supposed to know?

Believe me, no.

He's Anthony Weiner.

- Oh, yeah. It is, isn't it?

Is it Anthony Weiner?

- Why do you think you deserve this second chance?

- Look, it's up- in the final analysis,

it's up to the voters to make that determination,

and all I'm saying is here's some ideas that I have.

And at the end of the day, it's not up to me.

It's not up to you.

It's up to the voters, and that's all I'm asking.

- Former member of Congress, Anthony Weiner,

has decided he will be a candidate

for the 2013 mayor's race.

Welcome back, Anthony Weiner.

- I think people oughta show shame in public life.

When they do something really Wrong like this,

they should get out of action for a While.

- We don't Want perverts elected in New York City.

No perverts.

Three steps back, please.

- Weiner's staffers had to do crowd control with the press,

a prob/em the other candidates dream of having

at their news conferences.

He's not a likeable guy.

And I think the question is,

do New Yorkers Want a punch line as mayor?

If We elect this loser

to any office, from mayor to dog catcher,

then We get the government We deserve.

Man, they all full of shit.

- Weiner, you got my vote, brother!

- Just so you know, I turned down Andrea Peyser.

asked if she could sit in, and I said no.

Well, l...

But Why?
