Weiner Is Basically An Idiot
Not only is he carrying water for the modeling industry by outsourcing jobs to foreigners (what, US citizens aren’t weirdly lanky enough for you?) but he’s taking money from them as well:
After he proposed to expand the visas available to foreign models so they can work in New York, Rep. Anthony Weiner’s mayoral campaign took contributions from some cat walkers from abroad.
Problem is, the models aren’t allowed to donate because they’re not US citizens or permanent resi dents.
The models involved have graced the pages of Sports Illustrated and posed for Victoria’s Se cret lingerie. One was deported for an air-rage incident in which she hit a flight attendant.
Two of the models — Brazilian-born Thalita De Oliveira and Canadian Jessica Stam — are here on work visas, and do not have green cards or US citizenship, their agents said. De Oliveira gave Weiner’s campaign $500, and Stam donated $600, according to Campaign Finance Board records.
And yet, despite all the unrelenting best efforts of the Wolfson dirt machine, I will still vote for Weiner.
