This Guy is a Real Weiner

Earlier this week we noticed this congressman buddying up to Barney Frank.

Now he's claiming that the Iranians and Saudis don't want us to have Cap'n Tax. And that the Republicans are somehow in collusion with them.

Republicans are playing into the hands of the Iranian regime and the Saudi Arabian kingdom, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) argued Friday.

Weiner said that Republicans' opposition to the climate change bill scheduled for a vote this afternoon benefits the oil-rich companies, which have been accused of funneling some of that money to terrorist groups.

"Ahmadinejad, the Saudi Kingdom — they want exactly what my Republican friends are advocating," Weiner said on the floor during the debate ahead of this afternoon's vote.

This is the kind of stuff for which Congress is famous: people making extremely asinine statements and making real "weiners" of themselves.

I wouldn't waste my time phoning him, but there are 435 other clowns to pick from.

And there's still time. Barely.
