Even though Congressman Anthony Weiner's affront will be weeks old by Saturday, comedian Stephanie Miller is planning something special for her State Theatre audience.
"I will borrow a cellphone from somebody in the front row. I will still take a picture of my private parts for the entire audience and tweet it to them," she told me last week when reached in Los Angeles.
Miller -- AM 950's morning girl, heard weekdays in the Twin Cities from 8 to 11 a.m. -- is bringing her "Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour" to Minneapolis, along with her co-headliners and radio partners, Hal Sparks and John Fugelsang.
The Weiner story is not as horrifying as the national debt, but it's still sucking up air. Too bad this insecure chump didn't realize that when everybody publicly addresses you as "Congressman Weiner," you've already pretty much drawn everyone's attention to your favorite body part.
Miller finds it hilarious that women callers to her radio show have said, I wish that's all my husband did!
"If he hasn't had relations with anybody you go, 'It's kind of eighth-grade.' It should have been a story between him and his wife, I suppose. But it's never the thing -- it's the lying," said Miller.
Yes, it is the going out of his way to lie (since lies are often heard on the floor of Congress) about sending nearly naked photos and providing pointers to a porn star on how to lie to the media.
And it's also about all the related political connections -- such as Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, an adviser who's said to be like a daughter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who's suffered similar embarrassment thanks to President Bill Clinton's Oval Office sex escapades: Don't divorce him but don't live with him much, either? And the fact that Clinton himself presided at the Weiner wedding.
