Anthony Weiner found himself in a familiar position Wednesday standing in front of the cameras at a hastily called press conference, asking for the public's forgiveness after another sexting scandal.
But the mayoral candidate and his sexting pseudonym, Carlos Danger, weren't the only things trending on social media during Weiner's latest mea culpa. A "mystery" man who emerged from a cubicle behind Weiner during the press conference quickly became a Twitter sensation. The identity of the "mystery cubicle guy" initially thought to be a Weiner staffer was debated on Twitter as the embattled candidate and his wife, longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, spoke.
It turns out the presser-bombing "cubicle guy" is Jeff McKinney, a reporter for New York's WOR radio, who had no idea he was stealing Weiner's spotlight and becoming a viral sensation in the process.
"'Cubicle guy' had no idea that he was 'cubicle guy,''" McKinney, referring to himself, said in an interview with Minnesota's WCCO radio, where he used to work. "'Cubicle guy' was just there. He was taking notes. He was standing behind Anthony Weiner, because that was the only available spot to him, because 'cubicle guy' was late to the news conference."
McKinney added: I didnt realize I was becoming famous as I stood there, taking notes and doing whatever I was doing.

Hey, New York! Don’t swallow a Weiner, vote Republican!
Isn’t that Kilroy?
Star (and crescent) crossed lovers. Why doesn't Weener show her his cucumber?
The muslim isn't bad looking but Weener looks like a weasel who needs a hair cut.
I wonder if Huma keeps a Kosher kitchen?
Feel the love radiating off those two?
We already knew The Weenie himself is a perverted idiot.
But what is wrong with Huma?
She is supposed to be smart, yet she lets herself be dragged in front of the cameras to be disgraced on national TV as her husband admits for the second time that he was involved in nasty sexual texting.
How about Meerkat Man? Or Whack-A-Mole?
“Dag nabbit Andrew, don’t sit on the copier again, we just had it cleaned from last time.”
Following in Hillary's footsteps.
doh “Anthony”
She is supposed to be smart, yet she lets herself be dragged in front of the cameras to be disgraced on national TV...”
...later, the press will praise her for her devotion and that will help Hillary.
Indeed, and if a conservative woman stands by her man in a similar situation, boy howdy, would the reporting be different as she is scourged for being a placemat, being walked over by her philandering man. . .
Nah, it’s an NSA agent.
The Bill and Hilary parallels are amazing...
Nice going Anthony-—dragging your wife out as a political prop. How’d that work out for ex Sen-Gary Hart?
Those two adepts are rising to the helm of NYC.
Sometimes to often, I think Weiner is subconsciously trying to save himself from what has him by doing what he's been caught doing.
These are animals we’re talking about. “Dragging the wife out” is expected. This is a marriage based on power and money. “Love” does not enter into it. Just like the Clintons, the Kennedys, the Kerrys, etc.
She is supposed to be smart, yet she lets herself be dragged in front of the cameras to be disgraced on national TV as her husband admits for the second time that he was involved in nasty sexual texting.
Politics. "Standing by him" earns her sympathy and other votes of confidence. It's all about power with these people.
I heard on Foxnews the place he held that news conference was a Gay Mens Health Crisis Center. At least thats what it sounded like.
