Anthony Weiner's donations shrink in wake of sexting scandal
New York Daily News ^ | August 10, 2013 | Celeste Katz , Jennifer Fermino and Annie Karni

Anthony Weiner’s campaign fund-raising has virtually dried up since revelations of a sexting relapse rocked his bid for mayor.

Weiner received an average of just $1,897 a day in donations since the new sexting scandal erupted July 23, campaign finance records released Friday show.

That’s a trickle of the $16,434 he received each day, on average, in the 50 days after launching his run for mayor on May 22.

The records also show that Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, collected no money on his behalf since the new sexting allegations emerged, after she collected nearly $150,000 in the first 50 days of his candidacy.

Woman to his left: "Keep your hand away, please. Lord knows where it's been - certainly no where near Huma, that's for sure!"

There are still fools sending $1,897 per day?

That is the amazing part in all of this!

New York, New Yuk...

Those are just friends of Weiner and Huma who still think that if he can only get elected they will be given political favors. That’s the way it works in big-city politics.

The common folks are washing their hands of him for the most part.

He’s toast.

The correct term is the dough for “weiner shriveled.”

Those crazy New Yorkers just don’t appreciate the best candidate the Democratic [sic] party has ever offered them. That could be a side effect of global warming.

"Doctor, this Weiner election has lasted more than four hours. What should I do?"

What?

Oh.

You are half right, the symbol for the democrat party should change from a donkey to a Dickie. Maybe a weinermobile with legs and decorated with condoms. Yuk!

Sorry, sometimes I go off half-cocked on whatever comes up.
I think I've got myself well in hand now.
