Anthony Weiner to BuzzFeed BenSmith: No, You Can Keep Asking Me Personal Questions. "You can do this, or show cat videos, or whatever it is you do at BuzzFeed"

That question-and-answer starts at 5:00.

Yeah I don't really care so much about this. To be honest, I think this is a bit of overkill on Weiner. I have become less anti-Weiner since Hillary decided that he was an impediment to her career and thus would have to throw her alleged Second Daughter under the bus.

And I guess I give him props for staying on his feet and semi-conscious, like Rocky Balboa, despite being pummeled by ThunderLips and Clubber Lang.

I do like the burn on Buzzfeed Ben. Who, of course, pretty much believed the #hacked story when it was first offered. Who is more fool, the fool who tells a foolish lie or the fool who sorta believes it?

In other ScandalMakers news, Hooters Restaurants of America -- which frankly sounds to me like a more viable concern than the United States of America -- says it must have standards and those standards require them to no longer serve Bob "Mayor McGollumPaws" Filner.

Filner earlier dismissed calls for his recall by offering a slogan made up of all the dumb parts of MoveOn.org, MSNBC, and OFA, "Let's Move Forward!"

Now is not the time to go backwards — back to the time when middle-class jobs and neighborhood infrastructure were sacrificed to Downtown special interests. We need to continue to move forward!

...

We have brought world class urban thinkers to transform our neighborhoods into livable, walkable and bikeable adventures. Neighborhood leaders feel a new sense of empowerment and excitement!

...

Our position as one of the biggest bi-national metropolitan areas in the world promises new trade, new cultural interchanges and new possibilities. We are developing a proposal for the first bi-national Summer Olympics in world history for 2024!

As your Mayor, I am committed to moving San Diego forward!

Well, before I saw those Power Exclamation Points I thought the city was the joke of the world because of its dirty-fingered mayor, but now I'm super excited!

Below, a picture from some Hooters girls.

If you've lost the Hooters girls, you've lost... well me, but I'm sure there must be others similarly situated.
