“Who,” you’re probably asking yourself, “is that fine specimen of man peering out seductively from beneath that curly coif?” Well, dear reader, this young man happens to be none other than Democratic New York Congressman Anthony Weiner.

Weiner posted his 1981 high school yearbook photo to Twitter, making it his default profile image. And, we’ve gotta say: That powder blue turtleneck is doing things to us

[OldDeckHand]

He looks like Joan Baez. In fact, has anyone seen Weiner and Baez in the same room?

I'm never sure whether his name is pronounced "weener" or "whiner".

Both of them just seem so darned appropriate.

[RavenATB]

Picture doesn’t show if he’s wearing his favorite pink panties...

[Ditter]

Weiner, what an awful name. So many nic names come to mind.

[evets]

... and his beard Huma Abedin:

I'm getting more of a Horshack vibe.

[skeeter]

Thats the kind of kid you hang from the schoolyard fence by his underwear’s elastic band.

[gov_bean_ counter]

He got beat up a lot...

“Who,” you’re probably asking yourself, “is that fine specimen of man peering out seductively from beneath that curly coif? Well, the writer can say what he/she wants to but he looks like a ugly little dork to me and I bet he didn't have a girlfriend.

Surely they didn’t call him “Ferret Face.” That would be bullying.

[dfwgator]

Up your nose with a rubber hose.

[dforest]

That is a girl.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Strange resemblance to . . .

OMG! I was just reading a story about Elizabeth Taylor, clicked on this story and thought the picture was of her in her younger days!

Anyway, Weiner is a Whiner and I’m sure that’s the consensus around here. And his hypocrisy over the health care bill is a new low, even for him. But I’m certainly not surprised.

[dforest]

Wow, those two are ringers.

[Steely Tom]

He looks like Joan Baez. In fact, has anyone seen Weiner and Baez in the same room?

I was going to say Janis Ian.

Which politician trolls for encounters on Grindr, a social networking site that connects gay men to other gay men? The lawmaker isn’t even discreet — he uses a profile photo of him self at the gym in a tank, show ing off his torso . . .
