Good news: Weiner gets job offer
posted at 9:12 pm on June 16, 2011 by Allahpundit
I don’t mean to keep harping on him now that he’s fallen on his sword, but it’d be nice to have a happy ending to this otherwise horribly sordid story. And … we might have one. The job pays well — 20 percent better than being a congressman, in fact — and he’ll love, love, love his work.
Dude, seriously, I think he should take it.
Mr. Weiner:
After having learned of your sudden and compelled resignation from your Congressional post, I would like to make you an offer of employment at [Larry] Flynt Management Group, LLC in our Internet group. As a Congressman, you are known for your intensity and perseverance. I believe that this attitude, combined with your service in the House of Representatives’ Committee on Energy and Commerce, will make you a valuable asset to this corporation…
I cannot emphasize enough the genuineness of this offer. We are a serious corporation which, as you know, has been heavily involved in the political environment of this country for over thirty-five years. Our key missions have consistently included the crucial fight of battling hypocrisy within the federal and state governments. Flynt Management Group, LLC and Hustler Magazine have been dedicated to decades of serious political commentary. Just as we do not undertake insincere political crusades, we do not make insincere job offers.
While this employment opportunity is being offered in large part due to your qualifications and clear passion for making a change, I feel that your unfortunate resignation is a prime example of unfounded political pressure and the hypocrisy that has invaded democracy in Washington D.C. I hope you will sincerely consider this offer, and I look forward to your response.
I’d always thought of him as more of a Penthouse type of guy, but Hustler has the sort of blue-collar, populist authenticity that might catch his fancy. If not that, then he really has only two options: Beg Bill and Hillary for a job somewhere, possibly working for Clinton’s charity, or embrace his destiny and start dialing cable news executives. KP seems to think he’s CNN material, but I prefer Chris Matthews’s idea. They’ve already got Colmes; why not Weiner? Seriously, what’s the alternative?

I think Weiner should hook up with Larry Flynt!..Match made in heaven..Almost as good as Vann Jones and John Podesta!..:)
Dire Straits on June 16, 2011 at 9:17 PM
What a perfect job, but I would think he needs more of a “hard” landing.
MJZZZ on June 16, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Perfect….
… and if it doesn’t work out, he can always fall back on giving $5 blow jobs on Hollywood Blvd…
Seven Percent Solution on June 16, 2011 at 9:18 PM
You lie!
SouthernGent on June 16, 2011 at 9:18 PM
Just reading the headline, I was all prepared to jump in here with an outlandish joke about the job offer being in porn. Thunder officially stolen. O_o
Kataklysmic on June 16, 2011 at 9:19 PM
Combs & Weiner. I could get behind that show.
txag92 on June 16, 2011 at 9:19 PM
George Soros will hire him as a comunity organizer for teen girls.
Tony737 on June 16, 2011 at 9:21 PM
Combs & Weiner. I could get behind that show. – txag92
Just don’t get in front of it!
Tony737 on June 16, 2011 at 9:22 PM
The guy is some kind of sociopath. Siiiick. Big time.
The unasked question is what on earth is wrong with KP who dated him and HA who married him? They must have some real issues too. One thing is certain, they have lousy judgement and should never be trusted on any issue.
JimP on June 16, 2011 at 9:22 PM
It’s all you, Anthony, it’s all you.
NickDeringer on June 16, 2011 at 9:23 PM
I’d take the job for half the pay.
Lanceman on June 16, 2011 at 9:25 PM
Wait a tic,the Hustler job description,must be of
Weiner tweeting the girls for photo-shoots,and his
ability for photography layout background shoots!!
The Congress Gym spread of Weiner,by Weiner,must
of made an impression on Larry!
canopfor on June 16, 2011 at 9:28 PM
Yick!!!
capejasmine on June 16, 2011 at 9:29 PM
The biggest surprise over Weinergate is that no men have come forward.
Christina_M on June 16, 2011 at 9:30 PM
Yick!!!
capejasmine on June 16, 2011 at 9:29 PM
capejasmine:Yup:)
canopfor on June 16, 2011 at 9:30 PM
Actually, Alan Colmes is one of the more consistent Liberals.
Snake307 on June 16, 2011 at 9:30 PM
Knowing Weiner…
… he is holding out for the offer from PlayGirl.
Seven Percent Solution on June 16, 2011 at 9:31 PM
I bet that joint hosts some kickin’ Christmas parties.
Jeddite on June 16, 2011 at 9:31 PM
Why doesn’t someone point out that wiener could have become a national security risk via potential blackmail?
That’s game set match.
booter on June 16, 2011 at 9:33 PM
Yeah, Weiner can change Larry’s diapers.
GarandFan on June 16, 2011 at 9:33 PM
He will take it. Liberals are whores. No dignity. No morals.
carbon_footprint on June 16, 2011 at 9:34 PM
and by ‘happy ending’ you meant the Disney variety, not the Van Wilder variety, eh?/
ted c on June 16, 2011 at 9:35 PM
Weiner moves from Congress to Hustler.
Doesn’t sound like a major shift to me.
BKennedy on June 16, 2011 at 9:37 PM
Yeah, Weiner can change Larry’s diapers.
GarandFan on June 16, 2011 at 9:33 PM
GarandFan:I haven`t seen the movie,but I just watched the
trailer,and the diaper is an American Flag!:)

Perfect. One shameless attention whore hooking up with another.
And you don’t battle hypocrisy – you fight hypocrites. That would open up the field a little bit to, say, Congressmen who want to remove statues because they “demean women” yet still find the time to send women unasked pics of your junk to see if they like it.
But then again, that term “hypocrisy” is merely a dog-whistle for leftys. It allows them to keep their blinders on.
JeffWeimer on June 16, 2011 at 9:42 PM
Or the Second Chakra variety, either.
JeffWeimer on June 16, 2011 at 9:43 PM
I completely forgot how much pf a tool Allen Colmes is. Thanks for reminding me Hotair.
jawkneemusic on June 16, 2011 at 9:46 PM
Wait. There’s a vague bit of hypocrisy in that situation, too! I seem to recall NOW just loving on the man. No matter, she’s just the help. He did so much for women that it more than balances out.
JeffWeimer on June 16, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Weiner can start his own onlne branch of Hustler: Gar-goil.
profitsbeard on June 16, 2011 at 9:50 PM
Penthouse? Really?
Hustler’s perfect for him, having been the first slick men’s mag to obliterate the distinction between erotica and gynecology.
warbaby on June 16, 2011 at 9:50 PM
Who the heck didn’t see this coming?
upinak on June 16, 2011 at 9:50 PM
After a suitable stint in rehab, I predict he will run for mayor.
Huma doesn’t want her life to be limited to a little condo, a baby, and a house husband, I’ll bet.
PattyJ on June 16, 2011 at 9:50 PM
How unexpected. We actually thought he’d be working for Bil & Hil.
indypat on June 16, 2011 at 9:53 PM
The man was destined to be a porn star. He already has a porn star’s name and uh, equipment. He’s a natural!
NNtrancer on June 16, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Allahpundit…I thought you had more class. There is nothing or no one worse than one who gets his kicks kicking someone when they’re already down. Shameful. You should join Anthony Weiner at Hustler. Or in therapy session for the treatment of narcissism as conveyed by your total lack of empathy. Narcissism is the mental illness that seems to have overtaken the Republican Party of late.
The CJ Political Report on June 16, 2011 at 9:58 PM
It would be a good start.
boomer on June 16, 2011 at 10:08 PM
he forgot ‘self-inflicted political pressure’….

canopfor on June 16, 2011 at 10:11 PM
Man, I knew it. I knew as soon as I saw the headline it was Flynt. His moment has finally come. (In a story like this one, you know Flynt will have his moment.)
novaculus on June 16, 2011 at 10:13 PM
Our AP? Allahpundit? You have seen a humpbot sighting, haven’t you?
Those of us that survived his online wooing of Meghan McCain tend not to use the word class and AP in the same paragraph.
/s for some value of s.
NaCly dog on June 16, 2011 at 10:24 PM
Weener….working for Planned Parenthood……he’ll have unlimited access to teens and all kinds of women…yeah….Colmes can help him out with a referral.
Twana on June 16, 2011 at 10:27 PM
That is some industrial grade projection and hypocriscy there CJ. BTW, look up the definition of narcissist next time before using it. (Hint, you just embarrassed yourself. Not that you’ll notice since as a leftist you have no shame or self introspection.)
Now to mock you and your partisan stupidity.
CJ, are you saying you would’ve been more gentle with the Weiner?
CJ? Does that stand for Crying Jack*ss? Do you cry for Weiner?
Yes, how dare we make fun of a man with a self inflicted political injury. Why that would be right up there with lying about why the war in Iraq took place and the attempt to undermine the WOT all for political gain.
Having poisoned the well of political discourse, the left wants to complain about the taste of the water. You are reaping what you have sown, CJ.
Enjoy your soylent BROWN. Hahahaha!
Hard Right on June 16, 2011 at 10:27 PM
Why take it? I don’t see him being disqualified for the Mayor of New York job. Seems eminently qualified for it.
Tennman on June 16, 2011 at 10:27 PM
Anthony Weiner, Larry Flynt, Gloria Allred…I’ve never seen a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
vcferlita on June 16, 2011 at 10:29 PM
I think they should woo Parker back and add Anthony at CNN. Then it could be: Wiener Parker and Sptizer, or Parker Wiener and Spitzer.
That sounds almost lewd.
Tennman on June 16, 2011 at 10:30 PM
*fnerk* hmm…trying to think nice thoughts about the Weiner….I’d rather do Meghan, and would much rather eat my toes than do her, all in all….
Fortunata on June 16, 2011 at 10:31 PM
Falling on your sword does not include “I need to heal from all the things I’ve done.” I usually agree with you big guy, but what we have here is a narcissist sociopath. They don’t fall on swords, and instead manage to wound everyone around them.
Hening on June 16, 2011 at 10:33 PM
I, for one, am so surprised that AP would continue rubbing it in where this Weiner affair is concerned…
.
Oh look, I collocated the phrase “rubbing it in” with the name Weiner. Quelle horreur!
ExpressoBold on June 16, 2011 at 10:35 PM
Yeah…consistently moronic.
Dopenstrange on June 16, 2011 at 10:53 PM
He could be the new Verizon guy, but with a twist…
“Can you see me now? Good!”
beatcanvas on June 16, 2011 at 10:53 PM
The basic problem here is the fact that ALL elected officials want the “little peeps” to show respect and deference to them because they are ‘Elected Officials’. The want the peeps to revere them and look upon them as role models for the younger ‘peeps’. That would be a fine thing but they are all corrupted with being legends in their own minds. Cultural moires don’t flow from the bottom up, they start at the top and filter down as acceptable standards for the masses.
Alan Colmes may be a consistent liberal, the problem is liberalism distorts the perception and allows the acceptability of behavior that would otherwise be not acceptable in a moral society. Alan Colmes may be consistent but from my perspective he is unacceptable.
belad on June 16, 2011 at 11:00 PM
The jokes just write themselves on this one, don’t they, Allah?
The War Planner on June 16, 2011 at 11:09 PM
The Weenie would fit right in as one of those barkers that stand outside strip joints and try to draw customers in. He’s got just the right voice for it.
slickwillie2001 on June 16, 2011 at 11:09 PM
There will always be jobs for someone with Weiner’s overwhelming sense of self-importance.
Aronne on June 16, 2011 at 11:24 PM
I’m rather perplexed because Flynt, as much as people may dislike him, truly does stand up for people’s liberties and First Amendment rights.
That’s why I’m somewhat shocked that he is willing to have someone that lied to such an extent and utterly decimated any trust he may have had with anyone near him.
That just doesn’t sound like Flynt’s bag.
Unless, Flynt is thinking of just using him as a mouthpiece to get to understand the inner workings of Congress a little better. Which is still somewhat perplexing because Weiner, from all accounts, was not that likable of a guy.
ButterflyDragon on June 16, 2011 at 11:39 PM
Hmmm. Could work, but… IT guy, or model?
RebeccaH on June 16, 2011 at 11:45 PM
2:1 Vegas odds the perv takes it.
JustJP on June 16, 2011 at 11:58 PM
Think of the part this demented hateful loon has played in helping drive the liberal steamroller all over everyone in this nation.
He and his ilk have destroyed trillions in personal wealth and forced us to eat many of their crap sandwiches that are systematically driving us to bankruptcy and oppression if he hadn’t been caught he and his pals would be trying their best right now to continue ruining all we hold dear and now that he’s gone they’ll return to their vindictive harmful efforts.
Don’t spend one instant sympathizing for this cockroach instead hope for all your worth that every liberal cockroach joins him in his fate.
Speakup on June 17, 2011 at 12:14 AM
This is perfect! I hope no one decent offers him a job…He shouldn’t be rewarded for being a perv….
theaddora on June 17, 2011 at 12:22 AM

Shy Guy on June 17, 2011 at 12:27 AM
Howard Stern has a place for him.
pat on June 17, 2011 at 12:27 AM
He’ll get a job at one of the Soros outfits, Think Progress or Media Matters, where aggressive and obnoxious lying is a skill much admired.
Adjoran on June 17, 2011 at 12:43 AM
Ah, yes. Where there’s fire, there’s Flynt.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on June 17, 2011 at 3:23 AM
Colmes is a fool.
disa on June 17, 2011 at 7:20 AM
It becomes more and more obvious that Alan Colmes did NOT drink the kool-aid. He has it on steady IV drip.
PJ Emeritus on June 17, 2011 at 7:27 AM
No matter where Weiner goes, I’d like to see him take the Clintons with him.
TimBuk3 on June 17, 2011 at 8:04 AM
Having partied in New Orleans during my bachelor party with Larry’s bro, Jimmy (who claimed he ran the internet side of Hustler), and his entourage, I can assure you this is a perfect match. Sleaze on sleaze. And Weiner’s naturally wired enough that he won’t have to spend all the dough on whatever they all found so “stimulating” in the restroom.
tbradshaw on June 17, 2011 at 8:34 AM
Only job he’s qualified for is a… hand job.
petefrt on June 17, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Colmes illustrates the left’s ideology-above-truth mantra pretty well. The belief that one’s personal life implies nothing about their proffessional life is false. It is precicely what Weiner’s personal life implies about him that the left likes:
-no morality
-lies are an important tool
-traditional families must be destroyed
Democrats like Colmes are disgusting.
ClanDerson on June 17, 2011 at 8:46 AM
Thread freaking winner!
Uncle Sams Nephew on June 17, 2011 at 8:47 AM
Watch for him to return from rehab squeaky clean and run for mayor of NY. If he gets elected, NYers better hope there’s not another attack on his watch.
Kissmygrits on June 17, 2011 at 9:29 AM
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to anyone one that I would like to choke more than Alan Colmes. He has to be the most irritating person on Earth.
Mr_Magoo on June 17, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Conflict of interest?

Hilarity on display in that statement.
Sure, AP et al should ignore the freak show that is the Dem Party, not point, shutup and let the Dems run the country. If not, then AP/we are even worse than the freaks. ROTFL
Narcissism and mental illness in the GOP? More ROTFL. Talk about projection.
This is just more whining, like the AOL headline today crying crocodile tears about conservatives “mercilessly mocking” Obama for his ATM gaff. I don’t recall mercy being part of the left’s repetoir during Reagan’s or ‘W’s administrations.
JimP on June 17, 2011 at 11:05 AM
