Why Anthony Weiner lost another job

It’s hard to keep up with the ever-evolving career of private citizen Anthony Weiner. Before he resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal that never seemed to end, he was a rising Democratic star known for his fiery denunciations of lawmakers who dared put budget concerns before the rights of Sept. 11 first responders.

But after it was revealed that Weiner had revealed parts of his nether regions in Twitter messages, things changed.

First, Weiner tried consulting. Then came another sexting scandal, a failed bid to become New York’s mayor, and a more successful bid to become a full-time Twitter personality and a part-time political commentator. There was also, of course, that appearance in “Sharknado 3.”

And now, Weiner has exited a high-profile job at a public relations firm less than two months after it began.

Maybe Weiner's next "big question for Bernie" will be asking for a reference or a job.....or maybe he will join HRC's campaign. Fit right in, he would!

stupid than usual. He tries to offhandedly dismiss the fact that she works for Hillary. He should go back to sending pictures of his junk to people. Probably got a more positive response.

Never trusted this self-serving prick.

Between his Likudnik nuttery of claiming the West Bank isn't occupied, to his cozying up to the DLC Clintons, to his voting for the Iraq war, to his now attacking Bernie, he's never been a friend of liberals.

He was never the progressive hero some made him out to be. He said a few good things here and there to get his face on MSNBC, but it was mostly lip service and grandstanding. His foreign policy views are abysmal.

And I'll never forgive him for trying to get all of the media to pile onto Helen Thomas.
