   Anthony Weiner — the former New York congressman whose career and   
   marriage were wrecked by sexting scandals — sobbed Monday as a   
   federal judge sentenced him to nearly two years in prison for X-   
   rated communication with a 15-year-old girl.   
      
   It was the denouement of a three-act drama that took Weiner, 53,   
   from the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol to a wood-paneled   
   courtroom in the city he once hoped to lead as mayor.   
      
   "I was a very sick man for a long time," Weiner told the judge in   
   asking for leniency. "I have a disease but I have no excuse."   
      
   The charge to which Weiner pleaded guilty, one count of transferring   
   obscene material to a minor, carries a maximum of 10 years in   
   prison.
