New book says Weiner was always a bit of a weiner

A new book offering an inside look at the US House depicts former Rep. Anthony Weiner as a desperately ambitious loudmouth who berated his staff and would do or say anything for TV airtime. Ho-hum, another “dog bites man” story. Weiner “would enter his office in the Rayburn Building screaming at the top of his lungs, ‘Why the f–k am I not on MSNBC?!’” We’re also at a loss, sounds like he would fit right in. Make way, clowns, there’s a new weiner in town.

  • Not just that, Weiner does’nt have any life experiances that don’t involve politics. He has never made a living in the private sector

    Gee, that sounds familiar. Who ELSE do we know is a douchebag and meets this description?

    • Not just that, Weiner does'nt have any life experiances that don't involve politics. He has never made a living in the private sector. He started out working for Chuck Schumer, & moved onward & upward. It turned out he liked photographing himself from an upward perspective, but then he hit "send" & then the clock was running down on him. Plus sinse he was a total a-hole, all of the time, nobody ran to his defence when it hit the fan.

  • You know you suck as a Democrat if you can't even get on MSNBC. As Bill Engvall says, "Here's your sign."
