Anthony Weiner One Of Cosmopolitan's Real-Life Bachelors In 1996 (PHOTO)

This just in: Twitter-oversharer Anthony Weiner once posed for (or alternately, sent in a glamour shot to) the pages of Cosmopolitan, selected as one of the glossy's 101 real-life bachelors back in 1996.

The congressman, then-31 years old and a New York City councilman with an apparent penchant for plaid blazers, also participated in a short Q&A. Some key excerpts...

First Lady: "Someone smarter than me. I want to be sucked back into the throes of love--isn't that what everybody really wants?"

On a day off, you'd catch me... "I hate days off, but I guess I'd try on clothes I couldn't afford."

Favorite cartoon character: "Newt Gingrich...for obvious reasons."

Weiner isn't the only politician to pop up in Cosmo's archives. Last year, Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts' "America's Sexiest Man" spread surfaced. Check it out here.

Does anybody finds disturbing that he put his old address out like that? Your address? Seriously.
BTW there are some delicious Chinese restaurants in that block.

Very soon to be a bachelor again no doubt. Some people should not get married.

It amazes me how much coverage is spent on issues like this when every day US soldiers die in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in our police actions.

Two scary things in that interview.

1. His grandfather bluffed his way into a job fixing elevators, even though he knew nothing about them.

2. If Anthony had a day off, he would spend it trying on clothes.

You know what I like best about this whole story? That all those guys who thought they'd put their infidelities behind them (Vitter, et al) are now having a whole new day in the sun as all the cheaters of the past (and their specific issues -- diapers anyone? I totally forgot about that one!) keep getting paraded out there all over again.

As long as the AW storry keeps playing the old cheaters will also keep getting their next "15 minutes" of fame. Bet Spitzer is loving this!

He obviously loves himself and likes showing off. "...not only am I the brightest bulb in the box, I'm also really buff... Look at me! Look at me!"

Maybe having a real affair would have been better. It would have at least involved some feelings other than pride. This is all about him being proud of his body (and all its parts).

Isn't that "Screech" from Saved By the Bell?

Gotta hand in to the Democrats. When none of the Republican presidential hopefuls like Mitt Romney or John Whats-his-name could grab one headline from the Sarah Palin and her Catch Me Catch Me Tour, Anthony Weiner came up with a brilliant plan with the Democratic National Committee in an effort to diminish Palin’s rising star.

'96 Bachelor just might be in line for the chance to repeat in the "mature category" soon, depending on his wife's tolerance level of his shenanigan's. Get professional help, Mr. Weiner, look how much good it did for Bill.

What is the approval rate of congress in this country. Maybe crap like this is why. Lie,cheat,steal,over claim on travel, who checks these clowns Nancy who will have a investigation. Give me a break. She was going to clean up Congress oh another left promise down the drain.

Perfection for politics...

Favorite cartoon character is "Newt Gingich...for obvious reasons.". Humor, ambition, power and passion - he's the total package until we found out he's a lying sleaze. In otherwords, typical for a male politician: he succeeded there but overshot his confidence and got technically sloppy. Maybe his wife is ok with that. He played the press and the public. The question is, can he overcome his faults, correct his ways, and still be effective.
