Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic lawmaker scorned by a sexting scandal, has just joined a crisis public relations firm as an advisory board member, according to a POLITICO report.

Weiner will not advise clients, contrary to an initial report in the New York Post. Instead, he will serve on the advisory board of MWW, a New York-based firm with clients such as Netflix and Samsung, according to its website.

“Anthony Weiner’s primary role at MWW will be as a part-time consultant primarily focused on policy and new business development. He will not be serving clients directly, but rather serving as an advisor to our leadership team,” Paul Tencher, the firm’s D.C. managing director, told POLITICO.

    MWW: Married White Woody?

  2. Hey, we all gotta fit in someplace.

  3. He was not “scorned by a sexting scandal.” He may have been scorned after a scandal, but a scandal cannot scorn someone.

  4. “Married With Woody?” – but that could also mean one married a “woody” or they married ‘Woody.’ “My White Woody?” “Man Without Wood?” – nah, by all appearances, dude has wood.
