Idea for Weiner: Initiate a Governmental Official pin-up calendar & give the proceeds to Charity.

1. Don't quit your day job...

Hopefully you do not work in PR. While funny, that sounds like the wrong track.

2. I'm kidding; but I find the furor over this story mystifying.

4. I hear ya...

I especially love how the bulging underwear image has been referred to as 'lewd' in the MSM.

I'm sure his PR guys will require him to talk about the spiritual rehabilitation and focus on lots of images of him entering/leaving his synagogue.

6. Seriously, I think it's time for slut-wannabes to stand up for themselves.

[QED]

3. There was a movie about this with Helen Mirren

called "Calendar Girls." I didn't know it was based on a true story until I read the blurb below - I do remember enjoying the movie. Talk about a way for Weiner to "find a pony" in all this.

from Wikipedia:
Calendar Girls is a 2003 comedy film directed by Nigel Cole. Produced by Buena Vista International and Touchstone Pictures, it features a screenplay by Tim Firth and Juliette Towhidi based on a true story of a group of Yorkshire women who produced a nude calendar to raise money for Leukaemia Research under the auspices of the Women's Institutes in April 1999.

Starring an ensemble cast headed by Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, with Linda Bassett, Annette Crosbie, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, and Geraldine James playing key supporting roles, the film garnered generally positive reactions by film critics and at a budget of $10 million it became a major success, eventually grossing $96,000,000 worldwide following its theatrical release in the United States. In addition, the picture was awarded by the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy Film, and spawned ALFS Award Empire Award, Satellite Award and Golden Globe nominations for Mirren and Walters respectively.

In 2008, the film was adapted into a stage play.

7. Meh, I wouldn't buy it. He's no firefighter. nt
