In case reading Rep. Anthony Weiner's various explicit online messages as haikus wasn't bizarre enough, last night, for his HBO program Real Time, Bill Maher staged a dramatic reading of the Congressman's raunchy sexts with Vegas blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss—with the incomparable Jane Lynch reading Weiss' words. See the video below— yes, Lynch did say, "c*ck-sucking Republicans" with gusto! Of course, Maher will need to stage another reading next week, because Radar Online has unearthed some explicit, insane messages Weiner made to Georgia teacher Traci Nobles.
Nobles was outed at the fifth known Weiner sext partner by her roommate (Nobles claims the roommate took a screenshot of her Facebook account) earlier this week. Radar reports that she sent Weiner the message, "i cant stop thinking about you, I'm touching myself as we speak, i want you (censored, describes a sex act), i need to see you mr. congressman, please don't disappoint me!" So Weiner wrote back on May 6, "Please understand i am a very important man. I'm always busy, but I promise i will make time for you soon! Don't the pictures i send keep you satisfied?” Then:
“YES BABY I UNDERSTAND. BUT THIS WEEK I'VE BEEN EXTREMELY HOT FOR YOU!!!!! I WANT TO DO THINGS TO YOU I KNOW YOUR WIFE WON'T... PICS ARE NOT ENOUGH. :-(“ Nobles explained to the philandering New York lawmaker on May 6, 2011.
“So i will make sure to keep some time open so we can have a cyber session via skype. Does that make my hot sexy baby happy?” Weiner responded the next day.
Weiner does not have any plans to resign, but, then again, a week ago, he was claiming his Twitter account was hacked—resulting in an underwear-clad crotch shot— when actually he did attempt to send the image as a direct message.
