Congressman Anthony Weiner has apologized to Bill Clinton over the ongoing ‘sexting’ scandal, as the former President had officiated at his wedding to his wife Huma Abedin last July.
Weiner admitted on Monday to sending explicit images and messages to a number of women online. After initially denying the accusations the New York representative finally came clean.
His wife, Abedin is the current deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the recently married couple were very close to the Clinton family. The 35-year-old began her career as an intern in the Clinton White House.

During the couple’s wedding, Abedin was toasted by Chelsea Clinton as being like a sister to her.
People close to the Clinton aide told the Wall Street Journal that she is a notoriously private person who did not want to get involved in the public element of her husband’s career
With his political career in jeopardy, the congressman has been making calls to his colleagues, apologizing for sending the raunchy text messages.
So far none of his House colleagues have come to his defense, while Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics probe into the incident, to determine whether the representative broke house rules.

As my wonderful full of inherited Irish wit commented on the 'officiating' of Bill Clinton of the Weiner marriage -'He (Clinton) must own a boat! My comment - What the f---! The ironies abound. Their conceit, both Weiner and Clinton, knows no bounds. This is not a marriage at all. Run, Abedin, run! you're not really married at all.

What was the apology for? Thinking he was Clinton with such ridiculous behavior while holding office. Next Weiner will be hiring a psychic to telepath his apologies to JFK and LBJ. As with the other three aforementioned...how about apologizing to your wife? Get a grip on yourself, man. Your political career is g-o-n-e!

Bill's the least person to apologize to. Remember Ms Monica Lewinsky? Poor Hilary! Oh and poor Maria Shriver married to Terminator Arnie. Just another "mere male" ...

Antoinette, I am loath to "kick somebody who is down," but this guy's career in public service - as attested to by his former colleagues - is not redeemable. His apology to Clinton would implicitly seek inclusion in Pres. Clinton's public clemency. U.S. Representative Weiner would seem to have gleaned nothing but late night monologue jokes from the issues whirling about Pres. Clinton's behavior. If Weiner's career recovers, America is not clement, it is drunk with those jokes.

WEINER APOLOGIZED TO CLINTON.....DIDN'T CLINTON USE A CIGAR ON A YOUNG LADY THE AGE OF CHELSEA?

Obviously, there is a question of the jurisdiction of being a minister for the purpose of marriage. This was not a "ship-at-sea" and Mr. Clinton was not the captain. I would say that there is some type of nondenominational religion in play to break down differences in religion and gender. There are just too many "bizarre vibes" emanating from the wife not to take notice.

This is "news worthy" ??? Do some real investigating about The Presidents fraud of using a fake Social Security number, his registration for the draft with a different social security number, or the passport information that went missing during his campaign, or how he could travel to Indonesia when it "was a police state" and Americans were banned to travel there !! INVESTIGATE something real !!!

How ironic - apologizing for "sexting" to the man who found a new use as knee pads for the plush rugs in the Oval Office.
