"Anthony Weiner Gets a New Job"

Anthony Weiner Gets a New Job

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/03/anthony-weiner-gets-a-new-job/

"SNIP..................


The website Business Insider has hired Weiner, whose well-documented sexting exploits led to his political downfall, to write a monthly political column called “Weiner!” The first installment will be posted Friday.

“It will feature Weiner’s thoughts on the top political issues of the day imbued with his unique insider’s perspective,” according to Business Insider.

Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 and came up short in New York’s mayoral primary last year, said he was looking forward to “the opportunity to add to the always smart and often iconoclastic coverage of politics and policy at Business Insider.”

This isn’t Weiner’s first foray into commentary. He has also been writing for the New York Daily News.

Sexting while married isn't nearly as bad as getting a blowjob while married, and I don't give a rats ass about either.

Believe it or not, it's REALLY important to you what I think about Anthony Weiner.

You two are pathetic! Do you think you can shame me into agreeing with you? That tactic actually works for you? Who let's you two get away with that shit, your children? Abhorrent parenting skills.
