Anthony Weiner seems to be holding his own…no pun intended…in the race for New York City mayor after announcing his intention to run back in May.
Weiner resigned in disgrace from congress two years ago after it was discovered he texted and twittered several lewd messages and photos of himself to several women.
Although its likely he’ll have to go through the fire quite a few times as voters decide whether they can forgive his past libidinous behaviour or not, Mr. Weiner should keep in mind that New Yorkers — and most folks for that matter — love a good comeback story.
And there’s certainly a need for his brand of fire to stir the pot of an already dull-as-dishwater mayoral debate, Christine Quinn notwithstanding.
Back in July 2010, I remember watching Weiner rip a new one for House Republicans after they successfully defeated a bill that was to provide up to $7.4 billion in aid to those first responders who became sick after being exposed to toxins following the 9/11 attacks;
That’s the kind of passionate debate I’m talking about.
