Weiner Whacks C-SPAN Communications Director

Anthony Weiner, a failure of a mayoral candidate and husband (for that matter), snapped at one of the most beloved public relations people in Washington.

And trust me, there aren’t that many.

On National Hot Dog Day, no less, Weiner got all hot and bothered after C-SPAN Communications Director Howard Mortman announced that Weiner had landed a new job in crisis communications. As the New York Post put it, he’s a “Working Stiff.”

One of the firm’s clients is, naturally, Ball Park Franks.

Mortman was actually kind about this national moment of insanity.

With his role in Sharknado 3 going to his head (yes, that one), Weiner was a dick as usual.
