Congressman Anthony “no pun intended” Weiner is apparently going to resign his seat today, according to various news sources. His wife came home from her trip abroad with Secretary Clinton on Tuesday, and presumably they had a long, awkward conversation about his and their future. (Can you imagine! “Hi Honey, did you miss me?”)
Weiner has a lot of important people telling him what to do these days, but the advice all seems to be of the unhelpful “resign and try to disappear forever” variety. But a narcissistic former Congressman with a lot of time on his hands can’t just spend his days hanging around the gym, taking pictures of himself. What do you suggest for his next move? TV host with Governor Elliot Spitzer? Dancing with the Stars like Rep. Tom Delay? Celebrity Apprentice like Governor Rod Blagojevich? Or star in a bunch of Terminator movies, now that the Governator is taking some time off?

16 June, 2011 at 7:12 pmHe should start his own line of hot dogs, and advertise them by Tweeting suggestive pictures of him in the house gym, clutching a hot dog! But what should he call them? I know — Tony’s Frankfurters! No, just kidding. Congressman’s Weeners, of course.

With SVU on hiatus, I was worried you might not have anything to blog about over the summer, it’s nice so many esteemed public officials have stepped up to fill the void. Lol.
