We guess that getting made fun of by Al Qaeda really is hitting rock bottom: since his sextra-cirricular flame-out last month, former Rep. Anthony Weiner has been laying low, spending some quality time with the wife, and embracing his sex rehab. But according to the Post, a friend of Weiner's says the disgraced pol admitted that he still has a lot to prove to a few special women in his life: "My problem is that I have three women I have to convince that I'm cured: Huma, her mother -- and Hillary."
The friend said that Weiner has recently realized how he "didn't fully comprehend" how damaging his exhibitionist tendencies had been: "He was totally in denial. He was saying he may be able to write a book. But to think that he's in a position to write a book, there has to be a redemption." However, finally he got the message...when "there was no line of people waiting to hire him."
Regardless of how he got there, Weiner has reportedly started therapy for his sex addiction for real: "He understood his wires are crossed -- that there was an addiction." Or as the Post put it, in what must be one of our favorite sentences ever: Weiner "is getting therapy for his compulsion to electronically send strange women obscene messages and photos of his body."
And, of all the luck in the world, a Post reporter spotted him on a flight from Orlando and took a picture of him kind of cowering in his airline seat.
