He was born at the wrong time.
Anthony Weiner says if he ran for mayor before there was a Worldwide Web, he ‘d now be calling the shots at City Hall.
“Maybe if the Internet didn’t exist? Like, if I was running in 1955? I’d probably get elected mayor,” Weiner told GQ magazine in a profile titled, ‘The year of Living Carlos Dangerously.”

The serial sexter also said he felt bad that his wife, Huma Abedin, absorbed so much negative press because of him.
“I duck it as best I can, but her reputation has become the ‘Woman Who Married an Idiot and Stuck with Him,’ ” Weiner said.
“I’m just an empty, soulless vessel, so it doesn’t hurt me as much.”
He conceded that his relationship with Huma turned rocky following revelations that he continued online relationships with women after he left Congress in disgrace for sending racy tweets.
“One thing I’m grateful for is that now I’m under no obligation to answer anything like this,” he said, speaking of his personal life. “But we’ve had a very rough time.”
