Anyway, I think we can all agree that it's time for Weiner to pull out of the erection.

May have to look and see who the GOP is running after all.

And then that former MTA guy.

Give Bloomberg a 4th term.

Can NYC really not find anyone better than these jokers?

Well Christine Quinn doesn't seem that bad.

On a different note though, I don't know why anyone would want to be mayor of NYC unless you are an independently wealthy billionaire looking for a real life sim city hobby.

Joe Lhota?  He's not too bad.

Yep. Hardly an inspiring choice but sure better than electing Weiner.

It would be cool if that were really true.

I tire of Manhattan.  I'm going to bulldoze the entire island and replace it with factories.

Give Bloomberg a 4th term.

Amen.

Anyone running for office has too much of their private lives too visible, though what he was doing is beyond the pale really. Now I think Weiner should just go away. I could have gotten past his first indiscretions, if he could get help and move past it. But he seems entrenched in it and frankly pretty stupid about it and unlikeable as well. And is wife standing up for him so strongly. What's that all about? How come feminists aren't all over this guy and his indiscretions towards women? Or maybe they are and I haven't been paying attention. He's a one man war on womyn!

Is he though? Apart from his wife, who says she's fine, did he really hurt any of them women who voluntarily sexted with him?

I mean I know that I'd posted that article about how many had had their lives ruined but that was down more to the media and them becoming public figures than Weiner being sexist.
