You guys know I’m all about Weiner, so I don’t know how I missed his latest appearance. This Sunday he was very gay (meaning happy) at a parade in NYC for gays (meaning homosexual people).
Thousands of people flooded Fifth Avenue… decked out in every imaginable shade, waving rainbow flags in varying amounts of clothing for the city’s annual gay pride parade…
Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who was also on hand, sent the crowd into a fervor as he approached the historic site of the Stonewall Inn at the end of the route. Carrying a megaphone and a massive rainbow flag, Mr. Weiner exuberantly rushed down the street engaging the crowd with his energy and championing gay rights.
“Weiner, Weiner!” the spectators chanted as they pushed against metal fences flanking the parade route while the former congressman walked down Christopher Street.
“We love Weiner and you can quote me on that!” shouted 25-year-old Justin Curtis after Mr. Weiner passed, flanked by a slew of supporters who followed in his footsteps, holding a “Weiner!” sign that stretched the length of the street itself.
And then this happened:
Get it? Because “Weiner” sounds like “wiener,” which is often used as a slang term for the penis, and gay men enjoy penises. It’s a bit more subtle than Weiner’s usual brand of crowd-pleasing humor, but I think it works!
You know… if Weiner had only sent pictures of his penis to men instead of women, and then blamed his political opponents for it, he’d still be in Congress. It would’ve been homophobic to criticize him. Just like this post is homophobic. Because shut up.
Incidentally: Mayor Bloomberg says you can do whatever you want with your penises, gentlemen, as long as they’re no more than 16 ounces.
