Finger of the day: Anthony Weiner gives the finger to reporters after delivering his concession speech

By Mona Goldwater, Gestures Ed.

Anthony Weiner gives the finger to reporters after delivering his concession speech.  Election night was a mess for Weiner, like much of his campaign.  Sydney Leathers, the woman at the center of the sexting scandal that began the unraveling of his mayoral campaign, showed up outside the election party in what she admitted was a play for media attention (and a boost to her fledgling career in the adult film industry).  Between her and the media/paparazzi, it was a zoo.    

CNN: "When the candidate finally showed just before 11 p.m., he quickly bolted into a next door McDonald's restaurant. The press corps and Leathers gave chase – yes, this really happened – security pulled a blocking maneuver as Weiner ducked through a door that connected Connolly's and the Mickey D's."


He gave his concession speech, and then, the former congressman got in his car, flipped off the press, and drove away into obscurity.
