Anthony Weiner got out of town too fast to empty out his office in the Rayburn Building. That means the new guy, Bob Turner, inherited the chair where some of those famous pictures were taken (and then tweeted) along with Weiner's personalized toothbrush. Of course, Turner's wife fulfilled the role of being the spouse of a newly-elected official quite perfectly when she, "requested that cleaners come in to scrub the office's bathroom, remove the chair, and put in new carpet." Ah, newbies, they always think they're special. Mr Turner didn't follow through on his wife's request, however, indicating it would be a waste of taxpayer money. [NYPost via ITK]
