ReplyDelete"Anthony Weiner, jailed for sexting child, eyes political comeback in City Council race for Carlina Rivera's term-limited seat (The Associated Press) "
ReplyDeleteAs noted by a friend of mine, he 's lying already. From this AMNY link, Weiner is quoted as saying:
"Weiner said he is unfamiliar with the other candidates he could run against.
“I don’t know much about the field. I only recently met them,” he said."
He doesn't know who his Assembly person, Harvey
Epstein, is? Such a blatant liar per usual.

Being jailed for sexting a child seems like an awfully terrible thing to make a comeback from.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair many of us in the district have only the vaguest impression of our assembly person aside from seeing him in group photos with our future ex-city councilperson taking credit for stuff.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteReally Weiner? Why can't disgraced men like him and Cuomo just remain private citizens, let go of their political aspirations after having been in power, and pass the baton to someone else, someone better? Give it up Anthony.

ReplyDeleteHarvey will wipe the floor with this clown. Unless he's in as a spoiler, this is the New York City Democratic Party.
I did not know June Leaf had passed away. So sad. I saw a wonderful show of hers at the Whitney a few years ago, which was really uplifting and inspiring. A great talent.
ReplyDeleteDaily cyclist here- E bike licensing with universal traffic cameras is the only way forward. Sure there’s not an epidemic of struck people dying thankfully but how many pedestrians are annoyed and unnecessarily stressed by wrong way and light runners.
