REP. Anthony Weiner wants Queens beachgoers to know they have more to worry about this summer than just UV rays.
Weiner (D-Brooklyn,Queens) rolled up his pants and trekked barefoot down Rockaway Beach last week to draw attention to riptides, the deadly currents that killed six beachgoers there last year, and claimed four lives off Long Island this season.
The congressman promised to introduce a bill as early as this week that would fund additional lifeguard training across the country, with particular emphasis on saving swimmers from the deadly currents, which kill about 100 people nationwide each year.
"Riptides are treadmills for swimmers," Weiner said. "You can be a big husky guy like me, and it's still going to take you."
Too bad he didn't do a demonstration of this for us...

Nothing worse than a wet weiner.
..............what a fraud.
Jeez, does this guy EVER get involved in anything that REALLY matters?
He's the ultimate busybody - he has to find the stupidest issues that are the least of our worries, and attach his name to it, like it's a matter of life and death.
he has a face that could stop a clock.
Who uses the word "husky" anymore?
Not only that, but would you consider Weiner to be husky?
How about this Weiner Head...
Plant a sign in the ground that says..."Bad riptides. Swim at your own risk".
Problem solved at no expense to the taxpayers!
Remember folks, Bob Turner is running against Weiner in November.

Right, a conservative endorsed businessman. That will really serve that constituency.
The NY City/State gop is in a desperate race to retake control in Albany ahead of redistricting...so that they may once again faithfully serve their true masters such as the landlord lobby.
Die gop! You screwed this City long enough.
"Die gop! You screwed this City long enough."
You really need to take off those partisan glasses. The Democrats and left-leaning Republicans have screwed this city and state more than anyother group with their unsustainable giveaways.

Check out this bit of classic gop NewSpeak:
"Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos said....The bottom line is, to create jobs in New York state, you have to make it affordable in New York state,..."
As usual he is only talking about business. This crap from the party most responsible for making NYC un-affordable.
Weiner is like a toothpick, not husky. Is he still engaged to that beard? Come out of the closet already!
Nanny state.
riptides? need more surf beaches there. If you dont know how to swim, do not go in the water, we dont need more lifeguards blowing whistles on people swimming and enjoying the ocean, it is still free. Meanwhile waiting for his office to release the testing data on the sand they dredged and pumped on the shore, is it safe Weiner, we asked months ago and you promised it....
