Spitzer and Weiner Lead in New Poll Because Scandal Brought Name Recognition

[DGuller]

My guess is Weiner is just running for office as a way of getting publicity for himself so he can try to get a reality show/write a book/etc.  In that case, the real joke is on the dumbasses who are funding his campaign.

I think that's a very poor guess.  That seat was always his target once Bloomberg decided he bought enough elections.  I guess he decided that his setback wasn't fatal for his old ambition.

Yeah I think he's serious.

  Ok.

Just think, once he's mayor, he won't have to settle for shittly little text pics any more - he can use billboards.

Is being mayor that lucrative? Also, as it is New York, some large scale digital vid in Times Square would be more appropriate.

Ok, I just checked.  All Weiner has is a BA in political science from SUNY-Plattsburgh, so I guess he is qualified to do nothing other than trying to get elected.  I figured he had a JD and so could at least fall back on that.

Not that he'd have cash, but rather, if he can get elected as mayor of NY even though pretty well everyone in the whole world knows about his "hobby", no more need for secrecy any more is there? 

Might as well have a Times Square digital vid. Might be a tourist attraction.  I hear a rumour CdM is looking forward to seeing his nutsack.

Actually I read that Quinn was only down by a few percentage points. Not bad for a lesbian who clearly care mostly about Manhattan.

Also, I think he should be required to run as Carlos Danger.

You just can't make this shit up.

I guarantee "Carlos Danger" will be the most popular cat name this year.  With "Carol Danger" a close 2nd.

Is that a thing?

[CountDeMoney]

It could be.

If it is, CdM would know. 

[derspiess]

  I wouldn't be surprised if CdM quietly runs a cat name registry.
