Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner's disclosure that he's considering running for mayor has struck fear into the hearts of mayoral rivals—and delight in the hearts of anyone who appreciate penis puns.
According to the Post, "Sources in the camps of several campaigns said they have been in dirt-digging overdrive...Potential rivals are aggressively compiling dossiers and detailed lists of questions about the Democrat’s three-year foray into social-media sexting in hope of keeping the illicit Web exchanges at the center of any mayoral bid." Operation: BONER KILLER.
In fact, apparently some campaigns have "dispatch[ed] workers to squeeze Weiner’s online sexting partners — he has claimed there were six in all — for information about the late-night exchanges, which culminated in the infamous 'crotch shot' tweet that imploded his career." A source said, "He is such a danger to them, and he has so much money, that the thinking is, if Weiner wants to run, he has to be destroyed."
Speaking of money—the Daily News points out that three of his fundraisers have been arrested and that some of his former supporters are over him ("He’s a good person. He would be a good mayor. But I’m not supporting him") although one was pumped, “I think he’s a terrific candidate and would be a great mayor. Personal failings fade with time in people’s minds."
