Could it be that his humiliating resignation from Congress in 2011 had actually been part of a master plan? That he understood it would be just the thing he needed to get famous, depart from politics and then come roaring back to bid for the office he has always wanted — an office more powerful and more meaningful than the one he had to quit?
Did he foresee that he would be up against a field of pipsqueaks and seem, at the very least, more interesting than they were? That enough New Yorkers would decide it would be cool not to care about his conduct to give him a real sense of momentum going into the September primary?
Yes, his emergence as Carlos Danger might be just the thing to make Anthony Weiner rise to the top at last!
No, laughter will not be permitted — except, perhaps, at the New Yorkers who have actually put this ambulatory psychopath in or near the lead in the mayor’s race.
