Yeah, pretty damned nasty.  I made the mistake of clicking on that photo shoot she did on the beach for whatever tabloid that was.  :bleeding:

It looks like de Blasio and his mixed race family might win the day; leading by double-digits.

Ugh. And ugh on the fact that most of his proposals seem to revolve around make the rich pay for it. Not so sure how his mayoralty would play out with the notion of redistribute wealth from Manhattan.

QuoteWatch Anthony Weiner hit rock bottom

Just when it looked as if things couldn't get any worse for Weiner, who clocked in with 7 percent support in the latest poll of the New York City mayor's race, they did just that when video surfaced Wednesday of Weiner engaging another man in a heated argument.

Exiting a bakery, a confrontational Weiner doubled back to engage a man who had criticized him.

"What's that? You wait until I walk out to say anything. That's courage," snapped Weiner.

And that was just the beginning.

The man tells Weiner his behavior has been "deviant."

"And you're perfect? You're going to judge me?" responded Weiner.

"I'm not running for office," the man replied.

"Your ignorance is being shown to the entire world," Weiner said toward the end of the exchange, captured by blogger Jacob Kornbluth.

Afterward, Weiner, who is Jewish, was asked whether he will forgive the man — who was wearing a yarmulke — since it is the eve of the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah.

"Of course, of course, I don't hold it against him," Weiner said.

Is there anything about confronting a politician inside the bakery that requires extra courage? :unsure:
