As rumors swirl about disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner's huge leftover campaign warchest, a Crain's New York reporter discovered something pretty exciting to fans of manscaped chests and errant crotch shots: Weiner has connected his iPhone to Facebook. A Huffington Post reporter Tweeted, "Wow, it's like finding out they're making a sequel to a movie you loved!"
Anyway, the Post reports today that Weiner would like to run for mayor and his "back-up" would be to run for Public Advocate. A source says, "The general feeling is that you can’t text pictures of your penis to a girl, then lie about it, then get kicked out of the House and then run for mayor right after. But people believe there is a way for him to run for a lesser office." In other words, AMERICA IS GREAT.
Some New Yorkers aren't convinced: One told 1010 WINS, "It is creepy. Not as creepy as [Eliot] Spitzer, but it’s an eight [on the creep scale]. Spitzer was maybe a nine." Another was more succinct: "It’s pretty ballsy."
Here are some possible slogans: "Anthony Weiner: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut"; "Anthony Weiner: I've Got Something to Show You"; "Anthony Weiner: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"; "Anthony Weiner For Mayor: He Can't Help Himself—But He'll Help You"; "Anthony Weiner For Mayor: He Goes Hard"; and "Anthony Weiner: Look at My Penis." What are your ideas?
