'Cubicle guy' behind Weiner captivates Internet
Yahoo News ^ | 24 Jul 2013 | Dylan Stableford

Anthony Weiner found himself in a familiar position Wednesday — standing in front of the cameras at a hastily called press conference, asking for the public's forgiveness after another sexting scandal.

But the mayoral candidate and his sexting pseudonym, Carlos Danger, weren't the only things trending on social media during Weiner's latest mea culpa. A "mystery" man who emerged from a cubicle behind Weiner during the press conference quickly became a Twitter sensation. The identity of the "mystery cubicle guy" — initially thought to be a Weiner staffer — was debated on Twitter as the embattled candidate and his wife, longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, spoke.

It turns out the presser-bombing "cubicle guy" is Jeff McKinney, a reporter for New York's WOR radio, who had no idea he was stealing Weiner's spotlight and becoming a viral sensation in the process.

"'Cubicle guy' had no idea that he was 'cubicle guy,''" McKinney, referring to himself, said in an interview with Minnesota's WCCO radio, where he used to work. "'Cubicle guy' was just there. He was taking notes. He was standing behind Anthony Weiner, because that was the only available spot to him, because 'cubicle guy' was late to the news conference."

McKinney added: “I didn’t realize I was becoming famous as I stood there, taking notes and doing whatever I was doing.”

Sorry, I hope others see this as well...Weiner looks like a freakin pervert.

I no angel by all means, but at least I live my life in a way that considers what my God thinks of me and my actions in life.

Liberals are just plain immoral. Show’s Weiners total lack of humility in the face of the sex-ting scandal....does it multiple times even after busted.

What a creep.

He looks like Jabba the Hut, or perhaps like a Wookie needing a haircut.

Cubicle guy is Schmuckie Schumer who, as a ventriloquist is the voice of Weener.

They both have dirty secrets. If she leaves him the dirt will come out
and I doubt she wants that. Besides, they both want the power no matter what.

Her secret? No idea, maybe sleeping with Hillary.

But what is wrong with Huma? She is supposed to be smart,

She may be, compared to her boss, Madam Benghazi, but they're just a couple of not too bright lezzies with slimeball husbands.

And 0bama was supposed to be the smartest guy to ever sit in the Oval Office, but in reality he's the stupidest, most arrogant SOB ever. All dem talking points.

New Yorkers, ask yourself, do you really want a Weiner for a Mayor?
