Anthony Weiner for NYC comptroller?
It looks like Anthony Weiner is testing the waters for a possible run for city comptroller this year.
At least two politically-connected individuals in Manhattan have received calls from a pollster asking about a possible match-up between the former Brooklyn Congressman and Scott Stringer, the Manhattan Borough President who is considered the heavy favorite in the race. …
Weiner is sitting on a warchest of $3.9 million, raised when he was a leading contender for mayor in 2009.
Political insiders say he’s been itching to get back into politics following his nationally-famous fall.

Oh, go get a real job! I’m sick of these politicians that think the public owes them a living.

I have no interest in reading any article that starts out with “Weiner probing”.

He may have caught that itch from someplace else.

Unscrupulous Dems never go away, they just move on to the next high paying public gig.

Why can’t these people go away for life?
This guy should be well-established in his new career in Dry Cleaning. Instead, he’s trying to get back into public service after demonstrating, spectacularly, that he’s unfit to serve. This is one of the things that is really, really wrong with this country.

Putting the “troll” back in comptroller. Also penis pictures.
Gingotts on January 29, 2013 at 11:58 AM
Heh heh. He thinks he’s going to outlast the scandal. Poor guy. It would be bad enough if his name weren’t Weiner. As it is, he hasn’t a hope.

I guess you can’t keep Weiner down.
There. I said it. Somebody had to. I’m not too proud to.

I wounder if he got the job based on counting to 21…

Weiner is just a weiner, his wife is a MoBro mole subverting the State Department. She is the only one intimate with both sides of Benghazi.

$3.9 million is his only qualification for the job.
Jaibones on January 29, 2013 at 12:34 PM
What part of “Bye bye pervert!” did he not get?
Kungfoochimp on January 29, 2013 at 12:50 PM
Mark Sanford anyone??
I heard something the other day about him trying to get back on the tit…
So to speak…

I guess shame is dead in this country.
JPeterman on January 29, 2013 at 12:59 PM
Yeah … that’s the last kinda person you want in politics.
darwin on January 29, 2013 at 12:59 PM
The best and the brightest.
He’s a stand up guy!

Yep. Though I think that was probably obvious once the Lena Dunham ad ran in favor of Obama and neither were summarily retired from their respective pathetic disgusting morally bankrupt careers.

“There are no second acts in American lives.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn’t have been more wrong.

Anthony Weiner gave us the best moment in Journalism history.
Breitbart takes over the Weiner Press Conference.
tom daschle concerned on January 29, 2013 at 2:10 PM
Heh. Well more fairly, Andrew Breitbart gave us that moment. Weiner just happened to be the pathetic stuttering leftist slime exposed for what he is that particular week.
My God, I miss that man. RIP.
