Weiner Avoids Morning 'Sword Fights' With Rahm Emanuel

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

The ever quotable Rep. Anthony Weiner sounded off this morning about the highly public meltdown of his former New York congressional delegation colleague Eric Massa.

Asked by FOX Business Network's Don Imus for his thoughts on Massa's allegation that he had a fight in the gym locker room with a naked White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Weiner responded:

"I have very few hard and fast rules. One of them is not to have sword fights in the morning with Rahm Emanuel.”

"It's pretty clear from these interviews (Massa is) one taco short of a Happy Meal, or one taco short of a combo or whatever the expression is," the congressman continued. "But he has some serious health issues he has to get resolved, and I don't know why these accusations of impropriety are always coming down on the guys that are having tickle fights with their staffers. It just seems so unfair, the stereotype."

Weiner is pretty loose with his public comments, generally, but he was in extra rare form this morning. Asked by Imus whether he would want to run for the US Senate, the congressman flatly insisted he has never wanted that job, adding:

"Who would want that job? You get elected and they issue a walker and an oxygen tank or something. I’m not sure I’d want to serve in that body. It’s not clear what they do over there.”
