This should be an interesting race.Who is running that's more qualified?:2wave:


<Anthony D. Weiner, once a rising star of New York politics whose career cratered over revelations of his sexually explicit life online, announced an improbable bid on Wednesday for the job he has long coveted: mayor.>


<Although his tenure in Congress has often been derided as unproductive, in the video Mr. Weiner says he won money to hire police officers in the city, fought for assistance for first responders to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and helped win the battle to pass a health insurance overhaul. >


<But Mr. Weiner’s raw talents, as a tireless political tactician and verbal jouster, are hard to discount, making him a formidable opponent even in light of his troubles.>


<His political philosophy has always been something of an anomaly in the city’s more liberal Democratic world. He has called for a single-payer health care system and pushed for hybrid taxis even as he has proposed tax cuts and voted for the war in Iraq.>

And he'll probably win....

LOL

Weiner exudes New York.
 
Well if Sanford can win in South Carolina with the list of scandels he has, then Anthony weiner can run for mayor.

True.At least Weiner didn't make a claim that he was out hiking in Central Park.:mrgreen:

Both cheated on their wives, and are scum for it, but Weiner was texting seductive bare-chested photos of himself to girls on the internet.

Does that sound like the mayor of New York......LOL?

Never mind, it probably does.

Think maybe we can get him to promise that he will limit his computer speed to that of a dial up connection for the first four years at least?Thata slow him down.:2wave:

By golly, I think you're on to something.

Let the placards read, "56K Weiner: How bad could it be?"

If Anthony Sausage is the most qualified person in New York to serve as Mayor, what an indictment of New York City politics.

Let's not forget, Anthony Sausage's wife was pregnant at the time.

At least he doesn't smoke crack like an certain mayer of a large Canadian city.:2wave:

Considering the actions of the former governor of New York, Weiner is basically a Sunday School teacher.

Who would that be? Go ahead, tell us, set yourself up for a defamation lawsuit. I'll be happy to pass your comments on.

So Marion Barry was a mayor in Canada, too?
 
I heard that he was going to run for POTUS in 2020, with Eric Holder as his running mate.

vote: WEINER HOLDER

Yep, that's always the kind of news every pregnant woman wants to hear! :thumbdown: She showed she has the class and character he lacks by keeping her opinion of him private! Too bad she's not the one running for office!

Looks to me like the Mayor has a lotta defamation suits to be filing then eh?:mrgreen:


<So, when word filtered out that Doug would emerge from six days of self-imposed exile to unmute himself and address a Toronto Star story that two of its reporters saw a video of the Mayor Rob allegedly smoking crack with Etobicoke drug dealers, expectations rose.>

Must be that the Barry disease is spreading north eh?:lamo

If the qualification is sheer chutzpah, Weiner wins.

Even the scum at the Toronto Star had the good sense to couch their hatchet job with terms like "alleges" and "appears to be" unlike you who flat out claimed it to be true without any evidence to back up your charge - that's why you opened yourself up to a defamation suit. I see you've wisely backed away from that stance. It's quite possibly true, but claims made by the Toronto Star in the past have been proven to be flat out false or have been unprovable. The Toronto Star, a once admired paper, has an unhealthy obsession with Mayor Ford and has been practicing drive-by character assassination every since he was elected and has been attacking many of the left wing paper's sacred cows.

I'd also advise you not to put too much stock into bias opinion pieces such as the pieces of crap Roy James farts out on a regular basis.

Or maybe Weiner, Holder, or Boehner, could swap parties and run together :twisted:

since the disgraced congressman, whose wife huma is hillary's best friend, sent x-rated photos of himself to folks as faraway as just a friend on facebook, he's in no position to gurarantee that none of his recipients are or were underage
