Weiner: Carlos Danger was 'a joke'

[brooklynite]

Source: CNN

Anthony Weiner was asked Thursday about why he chose the Hispanic pseudonym "Carlos Danger" which he used for sexting even after his 2011 resignation from Congress.

The contender for New York City's Democratic mayoral ballot took one more question about this Twitter handle Thursday morning from Univision during an interview; this time asked: "Why did you pick an Hispanic name and how dangerous were you really?"

"It was a joke in my personal life between me and one person," Weiner responded.

"I'm not going to comment on anything about the information that that person has chosen to release."

...keeping the story alive for another news cycle.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

1. Your campaign is a joke.

...

[onpatrol98]

3. Yep...

That is certainly the truth.

[CTyankee]

2. WUT? I speculate on who "one person" really "is."

[KittyWampus]

6. Right?! It was just such the wrong answer.

[Scootaloo]

8. Himself, of course

Other people don't exist in Wienervision.

[CTyankee]

14. Well, I meant a "part" of him...but I didn't want to be "indelicate"...

[demwing]

4. I'm an Anthony Weiner fan

But its time for him to pack it in. Such a waste...

[msanthrope]

5. Funny as a crutch. nt

[BeyondGeography]

7. Shoulda went with Carlos Dangerfield

A lot of confusion could have been avoided.

[geek tragedy]

9. Carlos Danger: Anthony Weiner is still a joke nt

[Journeyman]

10. So's Anthony Weiner. . .

time to wrap up the show, clean off the tables, wash the dishes and go home. There's nothing funny happening any longer. The joke's played out.

[tblue]

11. How can someone that brilliant be that stupid?

I get it that he has something wrong with him. But there's TMI about this man. I was a strong supporter of him, but I can't defend him anymore except to say: He hasn't killed or raped anybody, far as we know, hasn't started a war based on lies, and he hasn't sold out to ALEC, again as far as we know. If only he could have kept his privates private!!!

[CTyankee]

15. I feel the same way...I did like him for all the reasons you listed...alas, now I fear he just has

to work his sh*t out through therapy and maturation and hopefully, he will emerge better and stronger...it's too bad, what a waste of talent...

[24601]

20. It's not stupidity, it's his arrogance. It's obvious that he thinks he's better than everyone else

and that rules of decent behavior don't apply to him.

[Common Sense Party]

29. What's the evidence of his alleged brilliance?

I never saw that. He seems of average intelligence, with a brash and at times bombastic way of communicating. He was never that impressive.

[tblue]

31. I just see it that way.

My opinion, that's all.

[Dreamer Tatum]

30. If those are your criteria for brilliance, you must know millions of brilliant people nt

[tblue]

32. Why do you say that?

I didn't say what my criteria for brilliance was. Just saying there are worse things than what he did. There are politicians who have done much more harm.

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Is that Carlos's Dangler

"The Weiner the world awaited?"


Slap some mustard on Weiner and stick a fork in his ass...he's done!

Maybe Carlos the Jacker?

[Nye Bevan]

13. I still prefer Notanthony Definitelynotweiner (nt)

[jessie04]

16. He should have gone with Dirk Diggler.

[KoKo]

17. ROFL! Agree! He should STOP IT NOW!

It's sad he's come to this...but he's only "digging deeper hole." He isn't Terry Sanford....he doesn't have RW Immorality Backing him.

He was supposed to be a Progressive Democrat! He should have tread more lightly ...because (inspite of Clinton's "STUFF&quot he's NO CLINTON, JFK or FDR. and we Dems on the Left are trying to get rid of the stains on our side in this MODERN AGE...to differentiate ourselves from the RW Filth.

[BlueManFan]

18. This shmuck would rather text pictures of his dick than be a congressman

okay, I MIGHT could see that, given their dismal approval rating. But he would rather text dick pics than be mayor of New York. Weiner is sick and his other weiner is making all of his decisions for him. No way he should be trusted with the reins in NY.

[wordpix]

33. +1000 He should bow out of the race, his comeback is over

[BlueManFan]

35. And It's A Shame Because He Seemed Like He Was Williing to take on the teabaggers

when he did his thing on the floor of the house.

[frylock]

19. Carlos Spicyweiner would've been too obvious

[TriplD]

21. Rudolph Giuliani had some personal failings too

And last I checked Republicans hadn't thrown him under the bus. He ran for president after that even.

If NY'ers can elect a guy who shamelessly parades around in public with a mistress, then surely they can cut a guy some slack for what he does in his private life.

[mysuzuki2]

22. I thought Danger was his middle name!

[bitchkitty]

23. PENIS!!!!!!!111111!!!!! n/t

[BootinUp]

24. Pretty bad joke too. lol.

[Paladin]

25. If it's a "joke," Mr. Weiner, how come your wife isn't laughing about it? (nt)

[Uben]

26. Bottom line is.....

...if you are running for any office and you are sending questionable pics over the internet, you aren't getting my vote. If you are that stupid, you don't deserve anything but pity.

[Botany]

27. I would have gone with cocktail weiner

[olddad56]

34. or Oscar Meyer

[Common Sense Party]

28. Was? Is.

nt

[Sunlei]

36. looks funny to me as all similar 'oneline' names berate his online name :)

brebart the zombie lives on as a rot the usa political corpse.
