Anthony Weiner’s campaign fund-raising has virtually dried up since revelations of a sexting relapse rocked his bid for mayor.
Weiner received an average of just $1,897 a day in donations since the new sexting scandal erupted July 23, campaign finance records released Friday show.
That’s a trickle of the $16,434 he received each day, on average, in the 50 days after launching his run for mayor on May 22.
The records also show that Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, collected no money on his behalf since the new sexting allegations emerged, after she collected nearly $150,000 in the first 50 days of his candidacy.

I’m actually surprised it didn’t go the other way. Very surprised he’s not getting donations by the boatload.

Tiny wiener. Tiny donations. Makes perfect sense. “If the wiener fits (an extra-small sized condom), then we must ...ah... Quit (donating to its frustrated holder). “.

Don’t you mean donations by the pant load?
