I had hope that he might have been a Republican.
Then I saw his picture and knew better immediately.
I say let him win so he can bang Paul pelosi
Pure evil.
‘Nuff said.
“Weiner” and “Castro District” tell you all you need to know.
No! Weiner is even more radical, more debauched than Crazy Nancy. And he has been for several years.
If Nancy decides to “run” for another term in Congress, her campaign slogan may consist of only two words:
“Shut Up!!”
I thin there are enough wieners in the senate already.
San Francisco used to be a great city.
She will challenge him to a debate, then bring out the whiskey and say it’s a drinking debate....and destroy him.
Disappointed there wasn’t a joke about disgraced Anthony Weiner in this thread yet.
