The Naked City (Mark Steyn)
National Review Online ^ | July 23, 2013 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 07/23/2013 6:49:42 PM PDT by neverdem

I wandered in on the end of the Weiner press conference and, in a healthy political culture, this man, notwithstanding his particular pathologies, would be simply too ridiculous to be a credible political candidate.

“I’m not going to get into a back and forth,” he told a journalist. Au contraire, he’s happy to get into a back and forth for hours on end (warning: Not safe for work).

“This was something in front of us that we knew might come up,” he said. You can say that again (warning: Even less safe for work).

These “sexts” and “selfies” are from less than a year ago...

I am stunned that out of 8 million people living in NYC, this is the best they can come up with for a mayoral candidate. An admitted pervert, who apparently is still at it. Truly pathetic.

“sanity is not a lefty job requirement”

Honestly, why hasn't any reporter asked Weiner if he is under psychiatric care. This is highly aberrant behavior - so much so, that I think he should be held for mental evaluation..

“So it took his wife a whole lot of therapy to forgive him?????? Ey Yi YI! His wife is as sick as he is.”

Huma has the hots for Hillary. Hillary, in turn, explained how she had Chelsea just to help Bill’s political career.

I wonder what would happen if you Asked Anthony Weiner what his Islamic name was?

Political HACKS, BOTH of them.

He's running....Spitzer is running because NO ONE ELSE WOULD HIRE THEM FOR ANYTHING!!

Politics is for people who can't do anything else in life.

There are eight million stories in the Naked City – and that’s just Weiner.

LOL!

UPDATE: In related news, CNN reports that man “hunted the dildo to extinction“. If only their reporters showed the same kind of doggedness with the Weiner.

Actually, it occurred to me that Huma is probably able to bear this more easily than most political wives: had she married one of her coreligionists, she’d have to put up with him actually sleeping with other women (wives 2, 3 and 4, who might change regularly) and the likelihood of really easy divorce. Little virtual affairs pale in comparison.

If New Yorkers elect a known pervert like Weiner to office, they deserve the judgment they will get.

He is the Democrat party. Morals, doesn’t matter. Shame, none. Lies, yes. Sexual deviant, got that covered.

The only thing that Democrats care about are abortion on demand, gun control, open borders, unlimited welfare, in favor of homosexual marriage. As long as a Democrat votes the correct way, they can do and get away with almost anything.

I can guarantee you that if he had tweeted that he supported the Zimmerman verdict his career would be over.

Like the current Mayor of San Diego. The hypocrisy of the media in general and the left in particular is staggering.
