Byproduct of Anal Sex Announces Presidential Run

Goddamit Weiner! You were one of the best reps the left had, and you pull this shit? Fuck you. Seriously. Fuck. You.

Can we discuss Clarence Thomas? Citizens United PAID him $100K !! WTF!!???? And then he neither A) Disclosed the conflict of interest; nor B) Recuse himself from the Citizens United Case -- which ironically, essentially "legalized" political bribery.

Does anyone else not give a flying fuck about the Anthony Weiner's scandal?
