I’ll bet Oscar Mayer wish they thought of this promotion, perhaps Fruit of the Loom too!

I don’t think much of hot dogs, franks, Weiner’s (wiener’s) or dogs (dawg’s) Nathan’s or for that matter dachshunds unless I’m at the ballpark.

But the Weiner is on everybody’s lips’s these days in the halls of Congress.

However, I don’t think there are too many singing the song, “I’d Love To Be An Oscar Mayer Weiner” in these hallow halls these days, least of all Rep. Anthony Weiner, (D,NY) who is all caught up in his shorts over a crotch shot that was twittered and he can’t say with ‘certitude’ whether the photo in gray underpants was his.

The press asked Weiner every which way whether the crotch shot was his, but he said he couldn’t say with ‘certitude’ that it wasn’t.  But they failed to ask him if he had gray undershorts.

He would not say whether he took the picture or not, but denied he sent the image to Gennette Nicole Cordova, a 21 year-old journalism student who received it via Twitter,

“I was hacked, it was a trickster, a prank, mischief,” he said.

Someone called it a ‘slight thing’ during a TV interview.  Perhaps it is.

Nevertheless Weiner became visibly testy and combative when pressed on the issue yesterday, but today invited the media in for more interviews to give the story legs.

I never knew how many hot dogs were sold in America.  My research shows that this year alone, 23 million hot dogs will be sold in major league ballparks, that’s enough weiners to stretch coast to coast from Dodger’s Stadium in Los Angeles to Camden Yards in Baltimore and that’s quite a stimulus program.

As  a result of Weinergate I think these sales will get an additional boost of a Viagra sort.  This is certainly on the way to stimulating the economy and jobs.

Now how can we get a gray pair of Fruit of the Looms in on this promotion?

Weiner spent the day trying to boost sales for his product which is already expected to represent 1.06 million more Weiner’s sold in 2010.  With the advent of the Weiner Dog, even if they have to make a slight adjustment in the spelling of the name – after all it means the same thing – there should be soaring Fruit of the Loom gray underwear sales throughout the nation.

“When you’re named Weiner, it kind of goes with the territory,” he told CNN, adding that a hacker may have accessed his account just to make a joke of his name.

Weiner was known on the hill as a bachelor playboy, before he married Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary Hillary Clinton.

As I see it, Weiner was one of the few Democrats to stimulate the economy, increase sales in an industry, and possibly two, that will undoubtedly sell more Weiner’s which will result in more jobs in the American hot dog industry.

Take me out to the ball game!
