God, I would love to hear one of those calls.

NEW YORK (AP) — His political career in jeopardy, Rep. Anthony Weiner has been making calls to colleagues to apologize for sending raunchy texts and photos to several women.

He also apologized to former President Bill Clinton, who officiated at Weiner’s wedding last July, said a person with knowledge of the call.

The person, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the call publicly, spoke only on condition of anonymity. Weiner married Huma Abedin, a close adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, at a lavish ceremony on Long Island last summer.

He reached out to fellow Democratic Rep. Edolphus Towns of New York, according to Towns’ spokesman, Julian Phillips, who declined to discuss what the two lawmakers talked about.

So far, none of Weiner’s House colleagues have come to his defense as pressure on him to resign has increased.

Tim Kaine, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who is running for the Senate in Virginia, became the first major Democrat to call for Weiner to step aside.
