Flashback: Anthony Weiner Introduces Bill To Create 1,000 Visa Slots For Foreign Fashion Models…

Once a womanizing scumbag, always a womanizing scumbag.

From June, 2008:

(CBS) — A New York congressman has introduced a bill that would create 1,000 new visa slots for foreign fashion models. Democrat Anthony Weiner said the measure would boost New York’s fashion industry.

“From Fashion Week to our vibrant publishing industry to the many designers that call New York City home, fashion is a vital part of our economy that drives thousands of jobs,” Weiner told the New York Daily News.

Overseas models currently compete for so-called H-1B visas, which are intended for highly skilled foreigners who may be computer experts or doctors. The models have not done well, with only 349 slots going to models out of the 85,000 available, the New York Post reported.

New York’s tabloid newspapers said Weiner, 43, is currently dating Huma Abedin, a Hillary Clinton aide who has posed for Vogue magazine.

Not everybody is hot for Weiner’s bill.

“Forget trying to bring in new meat,” ex-supermodel Janice Dickinson told the Daily News. “Let’s divvy it up between the Americans on American soil, please.”

    “Democrat Anthony Weiner said the measure would boost New York’s fashion industry.”

    Coincidentally it would also cause a boost in his underwear.

    Models … jeezs. Who cares? Most of them look like you would have to take a antiseptic shower after you had to sit next to them on a plane.

    Weiner was planning to organize them into the Supermodel Employees International Union, offering to serve as their Executive Director, I’m sure.

    Thanks for noting Weiner’s support of more visas for Fashion Models.

    If your readers aren;t aware if it , .. The H-1b issues (www.noslaves.com, http://www.brightfuturejobs.com) then tell might not know that models are included within the H-1B program and Weiner wants more foreign models !

    Bet you didn’t know we’ve got a shortage of beautiful American women!

    Here’s something not being mentioned with all the flap over WEINERGATE
    You need to view this video! … I believe you might not be aware of the following:

    So far I have yet see, hear the media tie in the above to the current news of WEINERGATE.

    How many visas have been allowed for sports figures? Especially,
    baseball. Basketball has a few, too.

    There used to be a saying, “American as baseball and apple pie” or
    something like that.
    There is not much about baseball that is American anymore especially in
    LA.

    Hey everyone, Weiner is not interested in women. He was trying to get male (as in men) models, you know, the ones who like to wear tight junk revealing clothes. Weiner is a manizer.
