New York Times takes down Anthony Weiner story

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 6/11/13 10:30 AM EDT

The New York Times “inadvertently” posted an article on the women involved in Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal — and then deleted it.

“For Women in Weiner Scandal, Indignity Lingers” by Michael Barbaro was posted on the Times’s website Monday “before it was ready for publication,” according to a production note. The Times has not yet responded to a request for comment.

A Google News search shows the now-removed article about Weiner, who is running for mayor, started with the line, “Customers still taunt Lisa Weiss.”

“‘Talk dirty to me,’ they joke. ‘We know you like it.’ Colleagues still refuse to speak with her,” Barbaro wrote, according to a Google News search.

Weiss, a Las Vegas blackjack dealer, was one of the women involved in Weiner’s 2011 scandal. In September 2012, she posted a comment on a Facebook picture of Weiner with his wife, Huma Abedin, and their baby, Jordan.

“Please let me apologize again for any pain I caused your [sic] or the beautiful Huma,” she wrote, “It was unintentional … I still think you are our liberal hero and we need you back in politics!!”

The Times article “For Women in Weiner Scandal, Indignity Lingers” is also referenced on Google News with the sentence, “For those on the other end of Anthony D. Weiner’s sexually explicit conversations, the episode damaged careers, disrupted educations.”

Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after tweeting a picture of his underwear-clad crotch. The New York Democrat at first claimed he had been hacked but later had to admit he had sent that photo and other sexually explicit pictures in exchanges with six women over three years.

Weiner announced his New York City mayoral run in May of this year. He is competing in a multi-candidate Democratic field and polls have shown him in second place.
