TheWeiner Bows Out, With A Campaign Speech, Naturally/Larry Flint Offers The Weiner His Next Job

OldSouth should know better than to be surprised by people like TheWeiner, really. But, upon viewing his resignation statement, he was taken aback at LittleAnthony's continuing hubris.


(Clink on the link to hear the entire address--CNN posted it all. ABC edited out the campaign speech bits. They're protecting their boy to the bitter end. Shame on them.)

This ole' boy made a speech that sounded like he's running for the next office! Damn, ya'll! That requires real stones!

Or perhaps it requires such a complete state of blindness and deafness that it simply doesn't occur to him that this just might not be the tone to take...

So, off he goes to treatment (or so he announced earlier) his conscience still unpricked by the damage done (sorry...), his wife not at his side for TheBigAnnounce (Her lawyers are going over the family books now. She may not divorce him outright, but within a week or two, she'll own everything except the clothes on his back...including his camera-phone.) If he goes away, his world will be different when he returns, in any event.

But, then again, things are looking up, as he has a bright and rising future ahead of him, working for Larry Flynt.

OS has no proof, no way of knowing whether his suspicions are true or no, he just has his experience of life and a bit of a cynical edge. He suspects that Weiner may have done a Spiro Agnew on Nancy Pelosi and Obama, i.e., 'Here's the number you need to meet, in dollars, to make me go away and not publish what I know about you. Here's the number you need to meet to make sure all those notes from the caucuses, meetings, deal-making dinners, all those slimy stories and supporting docs, don't end up in the hands of Fox News, the RNC, John Boehner's office, or on WikiLeaks. Or all of the above, in a slow death-drip sort of release.'

With the funds safely tucked away in the Caymans, safe from the gaze of the media or his wife's lawyers and accountants, TheWeiner was (with a few Xanax to keep the voice steady) able to stand tall and make his final campaign speech.

For now.

In six months or less, expect TheRehabilitationOfLittleAnthony to begin. Just in time for 2012.
