Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry! A History of American Scandals

That Time Anthony Weiner's Sexts Destroyed a Few Political Careers


Listen Later

Has anyone been so aptly named as Anthony Weiner? Of course, we only know just how apropos his name is because he kept his dick in his pants (or gray briefs) but couldn't keep his dick pics on his phone. Instead, he flung them far and wide, from his Twitter account (he was a U.S. Congressman at the time!) to ladies he met online as Carlos Danger to, ultimately, underage girls across the country.

How did a Democratic political star flame out so thoroughly and so often? What does any of this have to do with Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign? And why is Kasey so surprised that Mark is attracted to Anthony Weiner? Welcome back to Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry!, where things are getting a little more cringe in Season 2.
