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

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...

If you watch Wolf Blitzer talking about it with Gloria Borger and Dana Bash on CNN, you would never know that the likely next Mayor of New York is a man who photographs his penis and emails it to strangers.

Best line of the day!

A democRat sexting gets you elected mayor of NYC, but saying 'Macacca' defeats a republican.

We are doomed.

I’m starting a petition to get him to change his name from Anthony to Richard.

Dear Anthony

What does your Muslim wife think about her Jewish husband doing this sort of thing?

Its never about what she thinks and it never will be

Americans, NYers especially, need to turn pff the tv, put down Rolling Stone (11,000 words) and clue into the thinking of those who would could make this all happen

Her family and their bundlers are the only ones sho’ll pu pressure on him. They probably have. They had a deal and hebwont see it through They beton an idiot egotist with no conscience (but no shame either)

Not one of them are ever going to care at all what she thinks

Don’t know if he is a Little Richard, but I get the feeling he is a big D*** (head).

If you’re of strong stomach, there is a link to the sexts. They’re embedded in the article. I found them absolutely hilarious! I hope some wag uses them during the campaign.

“Anthony Weiner on the issues facing New York....”

Just imagine if this were a Republican candidate the way this story would be portrayed by the MSM.

My father said people get the politicians they deserve. I rejected that because it was too depressing. That was fifteen yrs ago. Lord look what USA has got now.

How shameless can you get?

Fool me once...etc.

I guess the consultants and the PR agencies told him to say this - “get out in front of it, admit it”, etc. Manipulation of public perception.

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

I almost hope he wins: it will be worth it for the entertainment value alone, and he and his constituents will be a laughingstock.

Somebody else said “A people get the government they deserve.”

Also very depressing.

I can tell you the late night comedians want him to win. The jokes write themselves.
