Weiner to write about politics for Business Insider

Former New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has agreed to write a regular political company for Business Insider, writes Hunter Walker of the website.

Walker writes, “We believe the unique combination of brashness and wonkiness that made Weiner one of last year’s most memorable candidates last year and one of the most high-profile advocates for healthcare reform during his time in Congress will make him a perfect fit for Business Insider.

“For his part, Weiner is excited to engage with the site’s readership.

“‘Its great to have the opportunity to add to the always smart and often iconoclastic coverage of politics and policy at Business Insider,’ Weiner said. ‘I look forward to a spirited conversation with the BI community.’

“‘Weiner!’ debuts March 28.”
