'Weiner' doc will have TV debut on Showtime
LOS ANGELES -- Showtime has some good timing.
The network announced Monday it will debut the documentary Weiner on Oct. 22.
The news comes just one day after reports of the former congressman and New York City mayoral candidate was sending lude text images again (this time the photo includes his young son in the background). Also on Monday, wife -- and Hillary Clinton aide -- Huma Abedin said she and Weiner are separating.
