Just hours after marking the disastrous conclusion of his mayoral campaign by flipping off news reporters, Anthony Weiner re-emerged in the spotlight with a smile on his face.

The former candidate appeared relaxed and in good spirits when a photographer caught up with him outside his apartment building on Park Avenue in Manhattan Wednesday.

The disgraced ex-congressman and sexting aficionado appeared to have rallied after his crushing defeat in the Democratic primaries, finishing his run with only 5 per cent.

Hey, he got to expend his campaign fund and no doubt skim off a bunch of them or pay someone to hire him, so he’ll do fine. Shame is apparently not a problem for Sr. Danger. MSNBC will find a spot for him, probably. I believe he had about $4 million in campaign funds and he had to use it or lose it. Don’t cry for Anthony.

How long until he’s anchoring his own show on MSNBC?

The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!

That applies to both of them!

The “Weiner” has gone flaccid and is shrinking from view. ;-)

How does pixelating his middle finger mitigate anything?

I have a hunch he’ll hire someone to ghost-write a book for him, put in some time with one of the failed main stream “news” television channels, and return to “public service” for the Democratic [sic] party roughly the same way many arsonists return to fires they’ve started.

My guess is he has a new video friend.

“That middle finger of his indicates he can still provide some stiff competition in the best of races!”.

Well, the “Obama Salute” has worked for odumbo for some time, why not give it a try? (sarc)

***Makes you wonder how people like him were raised.***

Sadly, he has a son who will be saddled with his father’s name, his reputation and his lack of morality.

We should pray for this innocent child.

or Call and alert Child Protective Services!

You assume it was his finger.

Where on earth can he possibly go from here? Even New Yorkers only gave him 5% of the primary vote. He's got NO future in elective politics. I wouldn't be surprised to read that Huma found him hanging by the neck from a chandelier.

Democrats live by "Never say never." He may try again one day. Hillary should be the one who's worried. As long as Huma is her chief of staff, this guy could always say or do something to wreck her chances.
