Ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s ego is still intact. His schlong may be another story.
HuffPost interviewed Weiner for “Candidate Confessional,” a series on candidates who are losers. Now what politician would sign up for that?
Oh, right — Weiner.
The former congressman’s ego was on full display for the interview. Which is a blessing compared to the indecent photographs he tweeted to online paramours a few years ago.
“He’s delusional,” Sydney Elaine Leathers, a former online sexting partner with Weiner who now appears in porn films, told The Mirror. “I’d be willing to bet he does run for something again eventually. His ego is much bigger than his penis.”
Oh, and she would know.
HuffPost reports that Weiner’s ego is still alive and well.
“I’m probably the best campaign politician you will ever interview. I’m like perfectly evolved. I’m like the Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminator,” Weiner said in this week’s episode of HuffPost’s Candidate Confessional podcast. “I love it… I’m just really good at it and take great joy in it.”
But who doesn’t love a victim?
Weiner told HuffPost that during his failed New York mayoral run, “undiscovered sexts gnawed at him ‘kind of like PTSD.'” So let’s unpack this a little: the ex-pol is comparing his lying, cheating ways to a condition often experienced by soldiers who go to war? He also said he felt “perpetual anxiety” while campaigning.
“If anyone is going to have PTSD-like symptoms, it’s going to be me while I watch some documentary produced by his former chief of staff,” said Leathers. “Thank God I love playing the villain so I should live through this round of bullshit lol.”
She added, “At least I’m the self-aware one in this situation. That’s one thing I have going for me lol.”
With his bottomless ego on display, Weiner used the interview about his own loser story to insult the media.
HuffPost characterized him as saying that the media’s heavy handed coverage of his story was a way to “boost newspaper sales.” He remarked that his scandal may be the last of a “dying world of tabloid journalism.”
Sure, tell that to Ted Cruz, who had to deal with this recent tawdry headline:
