Video: Weiner Mocks Bachmann, Jew Fro, Himself At Correspondents Dinner


Weiner, who has been on a bit of a comedic kick lately, mocked himself heartily: he started his speech, “I want to keep my remarks brief, because I’m double parked outside and the last thing I need is a ticket,” referring to his owing $2,180 in unpaid Washington DC parking tickets. He joked about his last name (his great-grandfather, who “changed” his last name, was “Harold Shmuck”), and recommended that John Boehner “embrace” his funny-sounding name as well. He talked about his belief in “mandatory gay marriage,” and had this yuck about Michelle Bachmann: “Michelle Bachmann…she’s probably not here. She’s campaigning in Iowa, and organizing in that important caucus state, because she’s running for president. [pause] That’s all I have for that joke.”
