Weiner Calls The Dems ‘P**sies.’ Was That Really The Best Word Choice For Him?

For a guy that engaged in an obscene amount of phone sex and sexting with women other than his wife, Huma Abedin, it’s almost brave of mayoral failure Anthony Weiner to use the word “pussies” in any context.

On Tuesday night, as part of a live blogging team for Raw Story at a bar in the East Village, Weiner remarked, “Look at how the Democrats campaigned this year. We had things to be legitimately proud of, and we didn’t talk about any of it.”

(Please take a moment to take in the increasingly real notion that Anthony Weiner is a journalist. Will he ever get a congressional press pass and hang out in the Speaker’s lobby?)

Asked why Dems didn’t discuss their accomplishments, he replied, “Because they’re pussies. The other side wanted to make it about Obama and Obamacare. Democrats are under the desks too much. What happened to the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party?”

We’ve had to endure a lot from Weiner — his lies to the media, including his repeated denials about sending those dick pics. We’ve even had to accept him as a fellow journalist as he has a column for the New York Daily News and Business Insider.

But one thing no one should have to tolerate in public is his use of the word “pussies.”

Come on, there’s gotta be a short of list of words more suitable for Weiner.
