Weiner

1

Sh*t.

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.

Um, but I did a lot

of other things too.

Mr. Speaker,

I yield one minute

to the distinguished gentleman

from New York, Mr. Weiner.

Gentleman's...

- 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.

I will not yield

to the gentleman

and the gentleman will observe

regular order.

The gentleman will observe

regular order.

Not in 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 healthcare

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 10A

of rule 21

what the speaker articulated

in this sentence

is in the fact the rule?

The gentleman is untimely.

Engrossment and 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 in the right.

That's the sum and substance

of ObamaCare. That's your idea.

Why don't you like it,

now that we wrote the law?

I got 94 percent of my college.

What percent did you get?

How did that

whip organization go?

How's that crackerjack

Peter King whip organization

working out?

Stop whining

and get the bill passed.

Boy, that was passionate.

I... 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 definitely,

is that a photograph of you?

I'm reluctant to say to you

definitively anything

about this.

So it's possible it is you.

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 Th... 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, I'm not happy about it

but anytime

a new Weiner photo comes out

as a television host,

I am 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?

Here... Ready? Get on here,

and Daddy's gonna pick you up.

Whoa!

Whoa.

And... down.

Was there a moment when you

realized "I have to lie about this?"

Oh, almost immediately, I

was like, I gotta, I mean, yes.

I was in a, yeah, of...

I mean, if...

So, I mean, yes.

But yeah, I... I knew instantly

it was... it was pretty bad.

What was Huma's reaction

when you told her?

Her, told her the truth?

Told her what happened, yeah.

Told her the truth

or told her

you know, something's

going down here?

Well, walk me

through it. So...

- I don't remember.

I... I think that...

I mean, there was a period

of time

that I mean, I 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 try... The primary person,

I was trying to protect

finding out

about this was Huma.

And so, I think I was hacked.

I think, you know, whatever

it is, I don't... I don't

I 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.

And it's the best part

of my day.

Last time Anthony Weiner

made waves on the internet

it ended his career in Congress.

This morning, he's out with

a highly choreographed video

announcing he will be

a candidate

for the 2013 mayor's race

here in New York.

Look, I've made

some big mistakes

and I know I let a lot

of people down.

But I've also learned

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.

Sixty four 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?

Okay, 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 ought to show

shame in public life.

When they do something

really wrong like this

they should get out of action

for a while.
