Weiner's Former Colleagues: Weiner Did Little For 9/11 Workers

How do you know when Anthony Weiner is slinging horse hockey?

Why, he's talking, of course!

WASHINGTON — Some of mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner’s former Capitol Hill colleagues are questioning claims about his role in the legislative effort to aid 9/11 workers.

In the video he released to announce his candidacy, Weiner said he “fought to get sick 9/11 responders the help they deserved” when he was in Congress.

Democratic aides and Congress members said Friday that Weiner joined the 11th-hour push for the bill — helping corral members to stay in town for the final House vote, for example.  But that was after standing by for years as others carried the ball, they said.

One New York lawmaker who asked not to be named noted that after the bill passed, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thanked leading Democratic supporters — but did not mention Weiner.

Weiner's problem, besides sending around pictures of his penis to strangers, is that he is full of shit on so many of his claims about his career in the City Council and Congress.

This is a guy who's primary activities while in legislative bodies was not legislation but public relations.

All he cared about was getting on TV and getting in the papers.

He has no accomplishments to speak of, other than PenisGate, and every time he opens his mouth and claims some, he is full of shit.

It's important to remember that about Weiner.

Many politicians are ego maniacal crazy people - Andrew Cuomo and Michael Bloomberg come to mind.

But those guys, for all their problems, actually tried to get their policies made into law.

Weiner, on the other hand, spent most of his career trying to get on Olbermann's show, catch the eyes of the 22 year old interns in the Capitol elevators, and increase the visa slots for foreign models.
