In a navel-gazing column designed to explore the various ways the Times has reported on Weiner's re-entry to the political scene in New York, Sullivan compares the April Times Magazine cover story to a People Magazine puff piece on Hollywood celebrities: (emphasis added)

This kind of hard-nosed skepticism has sometimes been in short supply in recent weeks when it comes to the former congressman, who resigned in June 2011 after an online sex scandal, and in his run for New York City’s top office.

Instead of grilling his buns these MSM frauds relish him hoping to muster support so Mr. Weiner rises in the polls.

Doesn’t matter. Are people in NYC so mis-informed that they would actually elect this man? Says a lot about the voting public.

It would be very appropriate for Weiner to follow Bloomberg since Bloomberg acts like another name for Weiner.

It’s VERY hard to mention this man’s name without it being funny. Might be almost worth the Muslim Brotherhood being in charge of NYC just for the jokes.

They need to make a way to make it hard coverage. Maybe the could show Oscar Meyer Boy some of his own internet pics...

The Old Grey Lady has a fixation on Weiner. Hopes he rises to the occasion.

Today, before this was posted, I wondered WHY would someone subject themself to this kind of degradation, humiliation or laughability? The answer came through my beer addled fog. SOME political organization said “You didn’t get the chance to steal as much as we wanted you to, so run for Mayor. People who remember you have forgotten and the rest will vote for you. Just keep your camera under wraps.” WHEN will we throw out the dregs of Society and elect adults?

His opponent Christine Quinn is not exactly mainstream either, in that she is a lesbian with a “wife”.

I’m trying to muster some sympathy for the people of New York City, but it’s difficult.
