The New York Post’s Weinergate Covers: A Look Back

Anthony Weiner has made the cover of the New York Post for seven of the past eleven days. While this doesn’t even come close to Tiger Woods’ record of 20 consecutive days (yet), it’s still fun to look at them all in succession. Enjoy:

Where is the "Erections Matter" headline from a few days ago?

The 'Erections Matter' thing wasn't a headline on the front page. It was the headline of the lead editorial in the OpEd section.

Actually it was even better than that: "Erections Have Consequences."

In the fine tradition of classic yellow journalism may I just whisper, in praise of the Post....

"...Rosebud!...."

He deserves the ridicule; I said he'd last until the 4th of July; if it goes past that date there's something very wrong.

Pervert behavior. Corrupt politics. Vulgar journalism.
What an insult to Americans!

Weiner & Huma make me gag.

At least Arnold and Maria are healthy and toned.

"Oh the Huma-Nitty Gritty!"

"It's a Girl! (Another one?)"

"Twitter Twitter Little Star..."

"Call Me Daddy"

This stuff just writes itself.

James Taranto's TURGID TWEETER is perfect.

Great! But you've got to update it with Friday's headline:

WEINER: I'LL STICK IT OUT (NY Post, 6/10/11)

I want to state on NRO that I'm taking credit for this one, which was the wording of a post I made to the Corner last Tuesday (in reply to some MSNBC guy demanding Weiner's resignation). Here's the link:

www.nationalreview.com/corner/269018/ed-schultz-tells-arrogant-weiner-re...

But wherever the credit lies, you gotta admit this is another solid entry in the series. (I still can't resist this story!)

And the Weiner Watch goes on. I can only imagine the headlines if he resigns:

"Weiner To Go - With Relish"

Headline writer at the NY Post has to be one the best jobs in the world...

Two funny meanings at least to this one! People with quirky, easy to parody names prove their intelligence by changing their name.

Two funny meanings at least to "Pop goes the Weasel." People with quirky, easy to parody names prove their intelligence by changing their name, for instance, not a lot of S.E. Asian immigrants doggedly sticking to the surname that starts with PH and ends with UK - something stubborn about those Weiner types though.
