Weiner estimates he sexted three women after resigning

(CNN) - Anthony Weiner, the embattled New York City mayoral candidate who admitted this week to sending raunchy chats to a young woman last summer, estimated Thursday he had online relationships with three different women after his 2011 resignation from Congress.

But speaking at a news conference, the Democrat said he couldn't say for sure how many more women might come forward.

"There are a few. I don't have a specific number for you," Weiner said. "There are people I've had exchanges with that are completely appropriate, and that there are no pictures or illicit texts or anything. Now if those people want to say they don't like the exchanges we had either, I don't know where to put them."

Weiner stepped down from his House seat in 2011 after admitting to sending lewd photos and messages to multiple women online. He pointed out Thursday that when he left the House of Representatives, he admitted to exchanging messages with six women.

He then provided a rough total of how many women he's engaged with sexually online.

"It's not dozens and dozens," he said. "It's six to ten, I suppose, but I can't tell you absolutely what people are going to consider inappropriate or not."

I hope I never run for a political office, there will be a lot of centerfolds over the years that I have, "engaged with sexually".

LOL. Talk about loaded language.

Well, there you go.

This guy is more sick than ever. If he cannot come up with a specific number, then he is either lying or the number is so large he is afraid of the consequences.

Yeah, just like a degenerate gambler has appropriate trips to the casino if he doesn't lose a bunch of money.

Yo, Anthony, no such thing as appropriate online chats with strangers in your case.

I have sent lots of texts that didn't have pictures of my dick or hard core sex talk. How come nobody wants to focus on those texts?

for being credible, then "six to ten" is probably sixty to a hundred. When you can't minimize any better than that, you sound kind of proud of yourself. "I only had four or five drinks before I crashed my car into the lightpole, it's not like I was drunk!"
