Our New Favorite Representative: Anthony Weiner

Our New Favorite Representative: Anthony Weiner
by Klaus Varley
Just when you thought the House of Representatives couldn't be exciting, a congressman out of New York brings the passion and directness we're all looking for from the people whom we elect to represent us.
There are a lot of gems from Weiner, but here's the clip that made us pay attention:
Be sure to check out Weiner's YouTube page, where he even interacts with comments. Congressmen gettin' all 21st century on us. Crazy.

ps. If you were waiting for something like, "He's the best Weiner since Oscar Mayer" or an equally obvious joke, sorry to disappoint. We're trying to move away from third-grade humor here at The Brothel.
pps. Now if his name were, oh, I don't know, John Ensign, we might give it a shot. Maybe something to the effect of, "Following sex scandal, Ensign loses chance for promotion to Lieutenant." Just a hypothetical.
Seriously.

Weiner is awesome. I {heart} him. He's kind of insane in that particular New York kind of way. The first time I saw him, he was marching in the Gay Pride Parade here 3 years ago. Love when politicians try to prove they love the LGBT community.
Is he your representative?
I think he's the rep for the district right next to mine.
Damn! You gotta move!
No way! I have Rep. Nydia M. Velazquez, clearly the loveliest name for a legislator ever. Plus, my Congressional distict is the only that touches 3 boroughs! Wootie woot.

She seems okay...maybe a little too much of a Washington-ite though...9 terms? Power player!
