Matt Sablan said...: "The two-minute video, which was posted online without any accompanying announcement from Mr. Weiner’s campaign, is a slickly produced argument for the candidacy of Mr. Weiner, a former congressman."

-- So, it lasted two-minutes, you say?; 5/22/13, 8:20 AM

Matt Sablan said...: "Anthony D. Weiner, once a rising star..."

-- I think that was his problem.; 5/22/13, 8:28 AM
Matt Sablan said...: "The campaign video was apparently posted prematurely."

-- ... I got nothing.; 5/22/13, 8:29 AM
Patrick said...: I think he will take pictures of his erect penis, and send them to various women via Twitter.

Oh, were we supposed to be more subtle about this than he was?; 5/22/13, 8:29 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: What else can he do? Weiner is useless in the real world.

Democrat Pol seeks power to screw you. Believe.; 5/22/13, 8:30 AM
Known Unknown said...: Frankly, the beginning was good. The upbringing story ... the tales of how hard it is to make it in the city (cost of housing, businesses drowning in regulations)

It was when he got to his 'accomplishments' that I stopped watching.; 5/22/13, 8:33 AM
John Borell said...: Wonder if he has the stamina to go all the way?; 5/22/13, 8:34 AM

chickelit said...: Whip out your phallic jokes.

His movements should be circumscribed and treated with circumspection. His supporters should not circumambulate his trespasses.; 5/22/13, 8:41 AM

Joe Schmoe said...: I bet he's aching to unload on his opponent.; 5/22/13, 8:45 AM
DrMaturin said...: "Last year, though, Mr. Weiner moved from Forest Hills, Queens, to Gramercy Park in Manhattan, where he lives in a four-bedroom luxury apartment with Ms. Abedin and Jordan."

That is some seriously expensive real estate. Serious question, how did they get so rich? She's a government employee and he's been a "consultant" for less than two years. Will any reporter care to ask where their money came from?; 5/22/13, 8:45 AM

Tibore said...: Sometimes a cigar is... wait, is this the right metaphor?; 5/22/13, 8:48 AM
X said...: actually his dick pics probably produce less revulsion than his face with a dick nose pics.; 5/22/13, 8:48 AM
MadisonMan said...: Who is rubbing against him?

Sorry, that's a typo. Who is running against him?

Might he be the best candidate? I mean, that's hard to fathom, but...; 5/22/13, 8:49 AM

bagoh20 said...: This reminds me of a friend's boss who is a truly abusive asshole, who after being forced to take anger management classes returned to work by self-announcing "The dick is back." and proceeded to be even worse than before.; 5/22/13, 9:03 AM
AllenS said...: If he wins, will people ejaculate him?; 5/22/13, 9:03 AM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: There is pic of him jay walking holding his wife hand, phone on the other hand, wearing shorts that look more like bathing shorts, while his wife is in all black with sun glasses just short of a Jacky O w/o trying look.

ricpic said...: Where does the Weiner family's - Anthony and Huma's - money come from? Their combined income last year was just shy of half a million. Most of it was consulting money. I don't know that Anthony has anything in the way of access to provide his clients. Huma, on the other hand, has access both to the highest reaches of our government to offer the Saudis - the Hillary connection - and access to the Saudis to offer the permanent government in Washington and the major corporations.; 5/22/13, 9:13 AM

Colonel Angus said...: Politics is truly a strange realm. Consider the private sector or even your social contacts and what your thoughts would be if say, your boss or best friends spouse tweeted his junk for everyone to see.

Likely in the real world, that person would likely be ostracized at work and among social circles. But in politics is simply a waystation to higher office.; 5/22/13, 10:58 AM

I think this is an excellent question that deserves some investigation. I'm curious also how an out if work congressman and a $150k/year govt salary pays for a few million dollar Manhattan apartment.

Ever notice how so many government employees seem to do remarkably well?; 5/22/13, 11:36 AM
