After weeks of carefully managed political repair work that has lifted Anthony Weiner from sexting scandal punch line to front-runner in the New York City mayoral campaign, he suddenly faces a threat from someone who’s not even in the same race: Eliot Spitzer.
The former New York governor’s surprise entry into the city comptroller’s race now means there are two sex scandal-comeback stories competing for the media’s attention, and the constant mention of both in the same breath has once again put Weiner back under the lens of infamy he has worked so hard to escape.

I despise both of these men but there is a big difference in what they did that got them in trouble.
Insofar as I know Anthony Weiner was a sex crazed jerk, but I don’t think he broke any laws.

I think they should campaign together, a perfect slogan would be: “Weiner/Spitzer it’s what New York deserves!”
No funny penis-jokes from the AP???
