Yes folks, it is time for another Twitchy Weiner… er, a totally serious article about former congresscritter and convicted sex offender Anthony Weiner! We learned this morning that friends are urging Weiner to run for mayor of New York:
The memory of his past mistakes will make him a better candidate, a wounded Weiner will be hard to beat https://t.co/PDlbzb34XT

We have serious doubts about Dr. Harambe’s medical credentials, but yes, maybe Anthony is dipping an appendage into the waters to see if he should run:

Will he try to achieve an election? Or will he shrink at the possibility? From the New York Post:
The former pol raised eyebrows after he attended the Inner Circle charity dinner with his estranged wife Huma Abedin last Saturday.
‘He has been encouraged to run for office by me and others … When politics is in your blood as it is in his, I don’t think you ever rule it out,’ said Curtis Sliwa, who hosts ‘The Left Versus The Right’ with Weiner on 77 WABC radio.
‘To be the moderate Democrat, to be what this city needs now to take it back from AOC. He knows the moderate path to save the city.
‘There’s always going to be misgivings lingering. That will never go away,’ Sliwa said of Weiner’s sordid past. ‘He has to constantly speak out on the subject of his problems and how you can make amends for that. You can become an example. That’s the only way.’
Wait, Curtis Sliwa of the Guardian Angels? Oy vey!
Anyway, do we have to tell you that there were jokes in response to the story? Of course not. So, here’s some of our favorites:
Good Lord, Anthony, those are not your friends.

With friends like that who needs enemies?

As a Conservative, I say, Run Anthony, run!

He has more than one? :-O
And ARE his “friends are older than 12?— Jon Breen (@BreenJon) May 1, 2023
I would love to see the return of Carlos Danger.

I feel so proud to live in a country where sex offenders are encouraged to run for mayor of a large city.

Curtis Sliwa encouraging him. Wow. What happened to the guardian angel mentality? https://t.co/0MWMXSsiXC

Well, it’s good, but it’s not as good as ‘Weiner-Holder 2020:’

Anthony Weiner has friends? Are they old enough to vote?

At his press conference:
"We in er.

Nicely done!
They’re telling him “You should just open up and let it all hang out there”.

Oof…
Pervert alert. @RepWeiner is back on twitter. All girls under the age of 18, block him immediately. https://t.co/Ydv4oHCdjg

This is a reference to this old Tweet from Trump:
Pervert alert. @RepWeiner is back on twitter. All girls under the age of 18, block him immediately.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
And this is true. His @repweiner account is up and continues to tweet and retweet content promoting him and his wife. But we are pretty sure the @anthonyweiner account is a parody with posts like this:
RIP Jeffrey, gone too soon

Still, all this raises the question: If Elon Musk is punting pedophile accounts into the sun, why hasn’t he punted @repweiner yet?
Back to the jokes:
he should run, I think he could pull it out https://t.co/0mt1jWrWJe

Too late, sir.
And one more:
The Democrats could not get any worse then someone says "hold my weiner". https://t.co/SRSx25PGM3

I know the comedians of the world would love to see that Weiner run.
