Weiner is Back on Twitter

Weiner is Back on Twitter
(not that I care, just wanted to get that headline!!!, kp)

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, "who infamously sent lewd photos from his @RepWeiner Twitter account two years ago-ultimately leading to his resignation-has signed back up on the social media service. He's now under the handle @AnthonyWeiner," the New York Observer reports.

Of course, he needs a job, so he's probably pretty desperate about now. Did his wife's job end when Hillary stepped down?

She's probably not all that happy being the family breadwinner. She might actually want to spend some time with their baby.. She might want him to get a job... How can he earn money ? He HAS to figure out a way back into politics. It;s all he knows.

4. He's going to be forced on us in some capacity, isn't he?

Chairman of some DLC-type committee and a safe seat somewhere, I'll guess.

So typical.

To Mr. Weiner: Have some dignity and bow out. Don't put one of our safe seats in jeopardy with your perverted shenanigans, you're not worth it. Go get a real job like the rest of us instead of leaching off your various connections.

7. His shenanigans aside, he was a real asset. He spoke up and fought for what is right.

I'm sure they are not starving or going without like most of the rest of the world is and my second wish is that he just stay away from pubic office and get some private job, for Oscarmeyer Wieners maybe.

Sorry Tony, you blew it. Or you were looking for someone else to blow you, whatever.

Forever embarrassing.
