Anthony Weiner got a public reminder yesterday that "Mother knows best." As the Democratic mayoral hopeful blasted Mayor Bloomberg's educational policies yesterday, he was quietly corrected by his own mom. After Weiner's first major education speech, the congressman told a West Side Chamber of Commerce breakfast that music, arts and language programs have been "decimated" under Bloomberg. "You basically have one choice in school now in terms of a second language and that's Spanish," said Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn), a public school alum. But his mom, Fran, a retired teacher whom he praised earlier, informed him that Latin is still taught in some schools. After a back-and-forth, Weiner joked: "Please. I can't be heckled by my own mother." Weiner criticized Bloomberg's top-down reshuffling of the school system, saying teachers deserve more autonomy and bigger salaries. Weiner admitted Bloomberg recently called for a big boost in vocational training, but Weiner said a lack of emphasis on those programs has hurt kids.
He also criticized the disciplinary system, saying it can take 105 days to suspend a student from school. "Anthony Weiner's education speech today was all politics and loaded with inaccuracies," said Bloomberg spokesman Robert Lawson. City Hall officials singled out Weiner's claim that the mayor's Leadership Academy to teach principals is spending $250,000 per graduate. Insiders said the real amount is about $150,000 - all of it paid for by private funds. |
The guy's name is Weiner...'nuff said.
My wife has brought up a similar point. Why are all of the DIMs and their lackeys so ugly and they usually look like weasels? I think when you are a pessimist and whiner your whole life, your face takes on that personality trait. They are just so angry all of the time and they get pissed off when somebody somewhere is happy...
Because they are!
That headline put a lot of very baaaaaad images in my head...
I think she has something there.
Talk about truth in advertising. A Weiner is a weiner.
he looks like one of those skinny little nerds that always have a big mouth and get pounded on by guys like me...
Not to mention, Republican women tend to be much more attractive than their DemocRAT counterparts.
Ann Coulter vs...Helen Thomas
Michelle Malkin vs. Hillary Clinton
Condi Rice vs. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones
Heather Locklear vs. Whoppi Goldberg
Laura Ingraham vs. Barney Frank...
you get the idea.
Hehe...but I think he's a Republican.
If my son looked like this dork, I would heckle myself.
At least the name fits.
You'd be surprised how much that knowledge comes in handy when you live in New York.
I'm surrounded by Weiners!
< /Spaceballs reference>
And then Weinee said, "Come on Mom, that doesn't cound because everyone knows they speak Spanish in Latin America now.".
Move over Louis and Gilbert! Looks like the guys at Adams College will be getting a new roommate.
(I hear that LaMarr and Booger both have space available.)
DING DING DING!!!!!
WE HAVE A WINNER!
This guy DEFINES the term "weiner."
Wow!Pubbies get all of the big name celebs. Now all we need is Emanuel Lewis or Joey Lawrence.
