Anthony Weiner Out Of His Job At Powerhouse PR Firm

Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner is out of work again after just two months on the job at the powerhouse public relations firm MWW.

According to an internal memo from MWW chief Michael Kempner, Weiner was a victim of the media who left of his own accord to start his own company and “He understands that his presence here has created noise and distraction that just isn’t helpful.”

Weiner, however, criticized the memo, saying he didn’t “express any of those sentiments” expressed by Kempner.

“I read the mww statement when they sent it to staff,” Weiner wrote in a Twitter message to PoliticoNJ. “I was either not consulted or ignored on every part of this excellent summer adventure.”

The MWW memo described the company as sympathetic to the ex-legislator.

Weiner actually did nothing yet he is being continually punished for a personal miscue. He is being persecuted because he smash faced GOPPERS.

He serially sends dick pics to women other than his Wife.

I am amazed anyone will hire him at this point.

Did he or did he not send dick pics to multiple women other than his wife?

And what in the world does one creep getting away with something have to do with another creep not getting away with it.

telling someone they are full of shit? And that IS what "it" is, let's not be coy.

Vitter (no S) was a pervy diaper wearing weirdo. Weiner was a creepy, penis-photographing (and doing it OVER and OVER after being caught, in compulsive fashion), cretin.

Neither one should win the Husband of the Year award.

Vitter is in the Senate because the people of the ENTIRE STATE of LAC, in their bumpkintude, returned him there. The people of NY, by contrast, are a bit more picky and demanding when it comes to choosing their representatives, apparently.

No point in playing "Who's WORSE?" here--they both suck.

back and re-invent himself, but alas, he was sexting again.

That whole Carlos Danger thing--too weird.

Point is, they're both reckless idiots. No need to fight about it.

The dude sent his dick pictures several women who didn't ask for them. Then he lied his ass off about it.

My post is not about being sympathetic it is about GOPPERS doing even worse including even illegal activity and either staying in office or NOT being punished for illegality. Weiner was being stupid. He was forced to leave office when there are a lot of GOPPERS doing even worse who suffer NO consequences because the media lets them slide.

I agree - I think many should have been run out of office.

However, we have our own pimples - Marion Barry quickly comes to mind.

Like I said - no sympathy from me - for Weiner or the rest of the cretins, whether D or R, who are found lacking a moral compass.
