Weinergate

Naw, I’m not going to write any of those shabby play-on-words. I won’t even throw up the picture of the famous Weiner Mobile of that hot dog company, you know, the one they drive around town advertising their, uh, meat.

But now that there’s a stripper involved (shades of Wilbur Mills and Fanny Foxe, if your memory extends all the way back to 1974, and wouldn’t Wilbur have lost it with a Twitter account?), this deal is really getting out of hand.

Uh, oh. Never mind. I said I wouldn’t, and I won’t. Nope. Not here. This is a family blog. I won’t even do it in Russian like some people I know.

Ann Coulter, now, whose humor on this subject I will not repeat here, is a very funny read. As usual. Don’t miss it.

UPDATE:  New York Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner admits he lied. He, ahem, did send that “crotch shot” photo to a young woman he met on the Internet, unbeknownst to his new, Muslim, wife. And, of course, the pol refuses to resign. Doesn’t matter. He’s toast.

  1. You might be surprised that Wilbur and Fanny came up in the watering hole convo a week before Weinergate. Damn if I can remember what we were talking about.

    The funny part about Fanny and Wilbur is that when they were caught she was the one who was driving.

  3. Didn’t one or both of them fall into the reflecting pool? There was a lot of running away, too, as I recall.

    Says at the Wilbur link (above) that she was stopped by a D.C. cop, (as I recall for erratic driving) and she immediately got out of the car and plunged into the reflecting pool near the Jefferson Memorial. Possibly to disguise the fact that she was drunk. Wilbur was a big enough cheese that they got off, but the local media found out.

  5. Why I don’t use Twitter myself 😉

      I have an account but I always forget to use it which is probably just as well.

  6. Weiner is something of a jerk, but I do feel sorry for him. If his name had not been slang for penis, probably none of this would have happened.

      I don’t feel sorry for him. None of this began with his name (however much his critics like to mock him with it) but the penis picture he sent via Twitter and his remarks about it afterwards, which are finally coming to be seen as lies, for which he’ll have to resign. Or be voted out at the next opportunity. Good riddance.

      Here’s his confession:

      Even Wilbur Mills had more class than to do something like that, though if Wilbur had had a Twitter account, who knows what might have happened.
