Between the pseudo-affairs, the talk show lies, and the weepy news conferences, Weinergate has stirred up a lot of negative feelings for Rep. Anthony Weiner. But within this strange, sad ongoing saga, we knew there had to lay some gilded fruits. So we went through all of Weiner's sexts and smutty Facebook messages, in order to draw water from the X-rated stone. Below, you can read through 14 haikus born from Weiner's erotically charged mind. (Note: we took some artistic liberties with the sexts to make things work...but these are all his words)
1. what are you wearing?
stalk me baby. very hot
glad you have my back
2. yeah, big time, guilty
nope, not sweet, crazy dirty
make me an offer
3. it needs your pussy
juice, you give good head?
wow, a jewish girl
4. I'm horny a lot
truth telling during the day
I'm pretty chatty
5. off to the shower.
I was punching the speaker.

6. this thing is ready
out. about. the usual.
it won't go away
7. I'll hit you later
but looking down I'd say yes.
did my moment pass?
8. my tights really itch
stop staring at my weapon!
I was on tv
9. yeah, the joke's on me
hang out in airport bathrooms
yeah, that's where trolls troll
10. with me behind you

with me behind you
11. little?! ouch. youd be
surprised how big. dunno. you

12. what are you wearing?

rock your world by phone?
