Anthony Weiner Hates Bike Lanes!
So this Weiner thing is pretty cut-and-dry now, right? We know he was posting naughty pics, and that as of yesterday the junk shot has been unleashed! We also know he's a complete dumbass for thinking posting said pics on A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE wouldn't get him public exposure. And yes, we even found out our man on the cam was raised a sloper. I'm not going to hash out any more specifics on that stuff.
But here's a little tidbit I'm kind thrilled to report on: Weiner hates bike lanes.
That's right FIPS'ters! According to Transportation Nation, 2005 Mayoral candidate and 2013 Mayoral hopeful Weiner was quoted as saying:
When I become mayor, you know what I’m going to spend my first year doing? I’m going to have a bunch of ribbon-cuttings tearing out your (expletive) bike lanes.
Wow, Weiner. Classy. You kiss your mother with that mouth? Since, I'm beginning to suspect Weiner isn't the sharpest tool around, I'm going to help him out here: Ribbon cuttings are for opening things up to the public, not spending tax payer dollars to rip them out because you think that's what your old guard constituents want to see. Let's be honest, those guys really just want to see your hairless chest in front of a busted air conditioner and a litany of framed pictures of yourself.
Also via Transportation Nation, when Weiner found out a large segment of the urban population actually supported bike lanes, he backpedaled. He tweeted (shocker) that he was just making a little joke.
The following quote from the article's author, Andrea Bernstein, is so spot on I wish I had written it myself:
But it didn’t sound like a joke (any more than it rang true that he couldn’t recognize a picture of his own crotch)
Well said, clean and completely below the belt.
Keep 'em coming, Tony. This is fun!
