Anthony Weiner was apparently in a sour mood after he conceded defeat in the race for New York City mayor on Tuesday.
Weiner reportedly gave a reporter the middle finger on his way home from his election night party:
Reporter with NBC Ch4, Shimon Prokupecz, says Weiner gave him the finger from car as he drove away.

Well - we have it on camera. Weiner drove off, middle finger raised at an NBC reporter. Curtain down. Bam. #NY1Primary
