Crazed shoppers with an affection for hot shirtless guys weren't the only ones out and about scouring for Black Friday deals—disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner went bargain shopping with pregnant wife Huma Abedin. And Weiner took the opportunity to show off the newest addition to their family: his mustache. Check out pictures here, or just gaze longingly at our 'stache approximation.
It's not the most impressive mustache, we'll admit. But considering we've all seen way more of Weiner's hairless body than anyone need ever see, we're impressed he was able to grow anything at all. Now the question is why he would choose such a creepy facial hair style—is he trying to hide in plain sight? Is he just getting into the Movember spirit? Or has he gone full-hipster after years of flirting with hipsterdom?
Weiner obviously doesn't think there's anything weird about a politician who was undone by a pervy sex-related scandal growing a porny mustache that brings to mind John Holmes or young Ron Jeremy. And it's this can-do spirit obliviousness that may yet lift him back into the public sphere!
