​Anthony Weiner, the sext-loving, dick-pic tweeting, disgraced former congressman, used some $13,000 campaign money for damage control.

The Daily News says that Weiner paid private detectives to investigate the bogus claim that his Twitter account had been hacked, before he owned up to sending the porny photo and resigned.

​Please welcome Jordan Zane Weiner, the new baby son of recently-mustachioed Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin. The Post reports that the "wee democrat" was born yesterday 10 days ahead of his due date and weighed in at just over seven pounds. This is happy news for a family that's had some rough times in the last year due to Weiner's inability to not tweet lewd photos of himself to random women on the Internet.

​As ABC News points out, the former Congressman now known most infamously for his mislaid sexts, a/k/a, Anthony Weiner, is cultivating his facial hair, per a photo snapped in New York's own Soho on Black Friday. Is this sporty-go-lucky mustache for Movember (note: Movember ends Thursday) or is it perhaps a stealthy new disguise? That remains unclear, but here's what we do know about Weiner's new 'stache.

​Traci Nobles, the cheerleading coach from Georgia who is one of Anthony Weiner's former sexting partners, is publishing a book. Of course. It's called I Freinded You [sic], and claims to contain real text message exchanges between Nobles and Weiner. In some of those text messages, Weiner complains about his wife Huma Abedin's parents and unfavorably compares her sexually to Nobles. Oh, and brags about masturbating in the House of Representatives' bathroom. As if the embarrassment for Abedin, who's due to give birth next year, could get any worse.

Via the Observer, this...thing:

​

Yes, that is an Anthony Weiner Halloween costume. Who's behind this? You guessed it -- Ricky's, purveyors of the charming Anna Rexia costume.

One good nontroversy deserves another. Now that Anthony Weiner has abandoned his post representing New York's 9th Congressional District over rather silly reasons, and will soon be replaced by Democrat David Weprin or Republican Bob Turner, it seems fitting that the special election is being framed by the most important economic issues of the day the equally silly, year-old non issue, the Ground Zero "Mosque."

​Anthony Weiner, sometime New York congressman and prolific sexter, is moving. His Forest Hills apartment, which he and wife Huma Abedin took off the market during this spring's sex scandal, is now in contract. A receptionist at Madeleine Realty refused to confirm or deny the apartment's sale to us, but it's reportedly really happening. There's no word yet on where the couple will move to, although sources told Page Six that they'll move out of Weiner's former Brooklyn and Queens congressional district. Inside, our crowdsourced suggestions for the couple's next move.

​The disgraced sexting congressman has not yet outrun the punchlines, however tired they may be, and likely never will with that name of his. The new issue of the Al Qaeda online magazine Inspire features a full-page fake ad teasing the one-time tough-talking Anthony Weiner, who targeted Al Qaeda YouTube videos as a member of the House of Representatives. "An angry Weiner head," reads the banner above a photo of a "feisty Weiner," in the words of the New York Daily News. The page was "brought to you by a Cold Diss." Haha, get it? (Maybe the magazine is still finding its voice, especially in the humor section.) But it's the Daily News that gets to the heart of the issue with a poll on their website: "Is okay for groups to continue poking fun at Anthony Weiner?" As of this writing, 2% of people have voted "I'm not sure." (Update: Check out the page after the jump!) [NYDN]

​Aw. Democrats long for much-maligned sext-scandalized former Congressman Anthony Weiner after all! Because, if nothing else, he was really good at baseball. Now that he's gone, Democratic politicians are concerned about their chances in the annual Congressional Baseball Game. Via the New York Post: "We miss Anthony. He was a star player," lamented Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan). "We need all the talent and all the help we can get," noted Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens). Weiner had been a gum-chomping, Mets-gear-wearing "colorful" presence at the games, and that, it seems, will not be easily replaced. Either that or this was just a delicious opportunity for the Post to refer to Weiner's "big bat." [NYP]

​Congressman Anthony Weiner's resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives for his sexting lies led to a local flurry of speculation about a successor, who will be picked in a special election on September 13. Today, the Queens Democratic County Organization selected Assemblyman David Weprin to run in New York's heavily Democratic 9th district for a seat that may not even exist come election time next year due to redistricting. Rep. Joe Crowley, head of the selection process, had a few phone calls with those interested in running and came down where he did in part because, as the Observer reports, "Weprin, a loyal party guy, is an extremely unlikely candidate to run against Crowley, or any other congressman in the immediate vicinity" in 2012.
