Anthony Weiner has become a walking punch line for fellow Twitter users.
A passer-by said she spotted the disgraced former congressman waiting to buy a hot dog from a street vendor on Thursday — and couldn’t overlook the irony.
“I just passed Anthony Weiner on Park Ave South in line for a hot dog,” tweeted Iris Blasi, a k a @IrisBlasi. “There are like 11 hidden jokes in that sentence.”
Weiner, whose addiction to social media helped end his political career, quickly responded.
“@IrisBlasi actually it was for biryani. Now how many are you down to?” he tweeted back.
No peddlers of biryani, the spicy rice-based Indian dish, have cashed in on Weiner’s sexting scandal.
But during the dog days of his mayoral campaign last August, a “Weiner mobile” emblazoned with a caricature and references to Carlos Danger, tried to gain publicity by giving away free hot dogs.
