(Reuters) - Former Representative Elizabeth Holtzman, who was the youngest woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Tuesday she is considering running for New York's Congressional seat left vacant by disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner.

A special election has been called for September 13 to fill the seat from the ninth district, which encompasses parts of the city's Queens and Brooklyn boroughs.

From her wikipedia page:

On January 11, 2006, The Nation published her essay calling for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush for authorizing "the wiretapping of hundreds, possibly thousands, of Americans, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."[19] She expanded on her arguments for impeaching President Bush in a 2006 book coauthored with Cynthia L. Cooper, The impeachment of George W. Bush: a practical guide for concerned citizens.

Seems like a good 'rat fit for Weiner.

All I can think of is the line that Rush Limbaugh plays every so often: We're fierce, we're feminists, and we're in your face

Weiner’s Owners will get the replacement they select. Clearly the guy was owned, that is why he lied and refused to resign for so long. His Owners made him stay and lie. Weiner’s owners will select his replacement.

"Former Congresswoman Holtzman interested in Weiner's seat"

Hmmm - you know, that headline could be interpreted in another way - just saying.

Well then he should tweet the Weiner a picture of his lips all puckered up and his tongue sticking out ready to lick, if he’s so interested in Weiner’s “seat.” Apparently, that’s how these demented leftists communicate.

Exactly my thoughts

Like pests they are, just when you think they’ve gone away for good . .

Thank God that Jacob Javits ran on the Liberal line after losing the primary to D’Amato in 1980. D’Amato won that race and spared us Sen. Holtzman.

Those of us within range of NYC media can state with authority that Liz Holtzman makes Hillary Rodham Clinton and Michelle Obama seem like Donna Reed and Diahann Carrol in their prime. I AM NOT KIDDING.

If she were more of a babe, Weiner would be interested in her seat.

Elizabeth Holtzman, who was the youngest woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives

On the other hand, today she is close to 70, audibly senile, and crazy as a s$%#house rat. As an elected official in a particularly Red era in NY poltics, she proved to be such a talentless psycho that today, even as a lesbo-recluse, she frightens Democrats. The upside is that she could win—despite the party's best efforts—in Weiner's wacko district. She'd be great advertising for the GOP in the 2012 elections.

That is as accurate a description you could write for Old Hatchetface.
