It’s a sad commentary on the state of our national affairs when an Anthony Weiner story comes as something of a relief, an amusing little rest stop on the Highway to Hell.
Of course, it isn’t. It was during the investigation into whether Weiner had shown his — well, you know — to an underage girl that then-FBI chief James Comey announced he was snuffling around in The Hilldebeast’s in-box again.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
In related news, there is no truth to the rumor that the former Democratic congressman will move to Las Vegas to begin a new life as a porn star and change his name to Anthony Dildo.

Bill Maher calls him “Hand Solo.” Any bets he doesn’t go to jail?
As he is a white person of the Caucasian persuasion, I anticipate the hefty fine, counseling and community service. Hasn’t the poor man suffered enough?
At most, a short stint in Club Fed, Minimum Security.
What consenting adults do on their phones should be their own business (and should stay that way!) But a fifty year old man sexting a fifteen year old girl??? Gawd. What were you thinking, Anthony? Oh, never mind.
Even if she was 15 going on 30, there’s a yuuuuuge “Eeeyeeew” factor there.
I never understood the whole dirty-old-man thing. Maybe it’s ’cause I was already younger than my classmates even before I skipped a grade. All the hot chicks were older than me.
Save for Herself, of course. She’s seven years younger than I am. That makes me Pervert Lite, I guess.
Me too. My brighter half is 4 years younger than I am. But, almost everyone is younger than I am. Except when I rode with Gawyn a few weeks ago; he is 92.
Ninety-two? Good God awmighty. There’s hope for the rest of us.
Saw Gawyn on my ride this morning. He was chugging right along on his old Bike Friday with those signature knee high black socks. We didn’t get a chance to talk, but just waved at each other.
Mine is 8 years younger, does that make me Pervert sort-of-lite?
isn’t the standard still half your age plus seven? does it work for women also?
That’s a generous standard, Carl. Even Boss Tweet meets it. It’s probably a better standard for women that men.
Speaking of wieners, it looks like Flynn done screwed the pooch. Wonder what Herr Gropenfuhrer’s Western wall note asked for?
