The Weiner Recurrence

On May 27, 2011, Weiner sent a link to a sexually suggestive photograph of himself via his public Twitter account to an adult woman who was following him on Twitter. After several days of denying he had posted the image, Weiner held a press conference at which he admitted he had "exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years". He apologized for his earlier denials. After an explicit photo was leaked through the Twitter account of a listener of the The Opie & Anthony Show, Weiner announced on June 16, 2011, that he would resign from Congress, and he formally resigned on June 21.
Now I personally thought this would be the end of the Weiner scandals (pun intended) and that former Congressman Anthony David Weiner would just fade into the background, like many other people before him. But no...Anthony Weiner the peter tweeter is at is again.
The Weinergate scandal has renewed itself, a second scandal began on July 23, 2013, several months after Weiner returned to politics in the New York City mayoral race. Explicit photos were allegedly sent under the alias 'Carlos Danger' to a 22-year-old woman with whom Weiner had contact as late as April 2013, more than a year after Weiner had left Congress.
 "Nearly a week after acknowledging that he exchanged lewd messages with as many as three women since he resigned from Congress over similar behavior, the New York City mayoral candidate has been pilloried by rivals, abandoned by his campaign manager and pummeled in the polls, his front-runner status all but a distant memory." Damn isn't that a shame. Seriously though, my main question is why Huma, Anthony's wife, is still with him?
