Disgraced Former Rep. Anthony Weiner Mulls Run for NYC Mayor

Former Democrat Representative Anthony Weiner is mulling a run for New York City politics.
The penis-tweeing liar resigned from Congress in 2011.

Evidently the job offer from Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt didn’t work out.

The New York Post reported:

The disgraced former congressman — who’s sitting on a $4.5 million campaign war chest — is mulling a bid for citywide office next year and “seriously considering” a mayoral run, multiple sources told The Post.

The cocky pol is also open to the post of public advocate as a backup plan, said sources, who described the Queens Democrat as “desperate” to get back into politics.

Weiner, 47, has even spoken to former staffers about going back to work for him, according to another source.

And he wants to run soon because the public match on his campaign funds are due to expire after the 2013 election.

“I’ve heard he is seriously thinking about getting into a citywide race in 2013 and would like it to be mayor,” said a source with ties to Weiner. “In his mind, he’s trying to figure out how to run for mayor.”

He’s reached out to politicos to “talk about the landscape,” said a former staffer.

The buzz in political circles is that the sext-happy Weiner has a better shot at public advocate — a $165,000-a-year job viewed as a “cleansing” post where he could put his character issues further behind him as he prepped for a 2017 mayoral run.

Progressive cities always skew wrong. This story is so disgusting on so many levels that it is hard to know exactly where to start.

He wants to talk about the landscape?

LOL. … I think Weiner’s shooting for pubic advocate, though.

A society that has scum like this showing their faces in public after having totally disgraced and embarrassed themselves and shown themselves to be perverted freaks is a sick, sick society. When there is no sense of personal shame, there is no civility and no law.

“We don’t need another weiner as Mayor”

And to think, he’s just the only one dumb enough to send photos over twitter. That’s the only reason Pelosi made him resign—because he was dumb about it.
They’re all into “Cape and tights sh!t”.

Not only is he a pervert, but how dumb can he be as he expects anyone to vote for him? Just how delusional and insane is he and how dumb and stupid does he think the people of NYC are? Still, I can see a lot of left wing loonies saying to themselves, “What? I don’t think what he did was all that bad. We have justified homosexuality, abortion at all stages of development, a welfare state where you can make a living doing nothing. Things like that. We can’t be judgmental about anything or anyone so, knowing his character, he wouldn’t be able to pass judgement upon anyone else either. We all can do anything we want with him at the helm. Woo! Hoo! I’m for him! A land of true liberty and freedom without restrictions! Now that’s what I call America!!”
I can just see it now. He just might stand a chance. Oh LORD! Is this the hell hole you are preparing for the Devil and all his cohorts? Maybe. I wonder.

Nothing surprising about this development. After all, Marion Barry is still involved in D.C.’s local government, is he not?

There is no level of behavior to which Democrats can stoop that will cause them the slightest shame.

y’know… I was wondering how best to use weiner…
maybe mayor isn’t the best job for him.

Helping to sabotage the democrats and Obama’s relection chances….
…now that would be a good start for weiner to earn back some of the favor of the public
and get a little redemption maybe …and perhaps get a high paying job back in politics.

Bring it on Weiner…..after the Romney win in November you will be completely amazed at how even the idiotic political class in New York City will completely reject you.

The tide is turning….the pendulum is swinging…..and it ain’t it the favor of perverts and liars.

Thank God. We’ve have quite enough of those types in power in the last three and half years.

The people of NYC appreciate the naked truth in politics and finance but with Wiener it is too much info. . . as well as down right scary

He needs to zip it up and head out of town for good.

Zip up his mouth, Career and pants for good!

The Nanny and the Pervert. Yep. That’s the ticket. Read a comment somewhere that said NYC would have to close their parks.
