Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (David McGlynn)
Lisa Weiss (

That wasn’t so hard.
Lisa Weiss, the sexy Las Vegas blackjack dealer who brought down Rep. Anthony Weiner in an explosive sexting scandal, has apologized on Facebook.
“So great to see you back! your wife and son are beautiful! please let me apologize again for any pain I caused your [sic] or the beautiful huma…it was unintentional,” she wrote in a September post that was discovered today. “I still think youare [sic] our liberal hero and we need you back in politics!!”
The apology appears under a photo of Weiner, his wife Huma Abedin – a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – and their son, Jordan Zane.
It was the same photo that graced the cover of People Magazine shortly after the couple’s first child was born along with an interview.
In the carefully orchestrated sit-down, Weiner, 47, and his powerful wife, 37, tried to move the subject away from his embarrassing cyber-cheating scandal, in their first public remarks since he was forced out of Congress last year.
“I really do feel like a very, very different person,” Weiner crowed to the mag at the time. “2011 was the best year of my life.”
Weiner has stayed out of the online limelight – only recently resurfacing after Hurricane Sandy.
The disgraced congressman, who resigned last June amid a sexting scandal, returned to Twitter in November for the first time since his post of a sexually explicit photo on the site ended his political career.
Weiner posted a link to a YouTube video that included a phone message left by a devastated resident of the Rockaways over a montage of scenes from the hurricane-battered neighborhood.
It was his first post since he tweeted a picture of his bulging crotch, which he eventually admitted was intended as a private message.
Sources say that Weiner has been volunteering in the Rockaways, which was part of his former congressional district, with his wife and Chelsea Clinton.
Political observers speculated Weiner’s Twitter return on the day after the presidential election, when attention begins to shift to next year’s mayoral race, indicates he is considering running for a citywide office.
Weiss first apologized to Abedin during an interview with “Inside Edition.”
At the time, Weiss swore she only wanted to chat politics with the lewd lawmaker, but he quickly steered the conversation to his sexual fantasies.
“I was very shocked at the beginning,” she told “Inside Edition.” “I would want to talk politics. But he would turn it creepy.”
Weiss said she feels “terrible” about flirting with a married man.
“I’m very sorry. I was single. I had a crush on him,” she said.
