In terms of Weiner’s wiener, I already did one blog post commenting on a handful of funny cartoons that had come in, including my own. But we’ve received so many addition funny cartoons, I thought a second round-up was warranted.

It’s been an odd spectacle watching news coverage of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, as he fields questions about a lewd photograph that was sent from his Twitter account to a 21-year-old college student. Weiner claims his Twitter account was hacked, but when asked directly whether the bulging boxers in question were his, Weiner said that he couldn’t say “with certitude” that it wasn’t.
A politician with the last name Weiner unable to deny a lewd photo was him? That’s all cartoonists need to run away with the story.
Here’s my take…
