Weiner, who became a national dirty joke after he was caught sexting young women, now wants to be a kingmaker.

It seems as though Weiner is thrusting himself into the opening he created.

“Horning”

That word was picked on purpose...

$5 mil in campaign funds and a $2 mil pension.
Not bad for a noxious twit.

Does anyone know whether he has officially resigned? Last I heard he had “announced” his resignation, but had not submitted an official letter of resignation.

Weiner as kingmaker?

Now there’s an anointing for which I’ll not be seeking front row seats. Even if they do come with left-over Gallagher plastic.

When we’ve come to the point where it is the kingmaker which has no clothes, the bar is set pretty low for the new king.

Blaggo?

The shame is that you, Mr. Weiner, served dishonorably. Now, disappear into oblivion where you deserve to be.

You R@t Ba$turd, slime ball!!!
