There have been so many good opportunities:

It's a Weiner roast
Weiner running wild
NY, never trust your Weiner
...

It is almost impossible to reference this story without including a bad joke.
 
There is a mildly funny headline on Huffington today about how Cuomo plans to fill Weiner's seat.
 
The Democrats wish these could have been Boehner jokes.

Damn! "New York's Weiner is pulling out". How could I have missed that one?? Course that wouldn't fit in the title space.

Some of the talking heads think that, after a few years, Weiner will be back; that this incident will quickly fade from memory and become irrelevant.
