Anthony Weiner finished dead last in the New York City Dem primary for mayor. He got about 5%.

This really is the Summer of Love (or at least Lust), people.
As we wait to find out who Eliot Spitzer is shtupping (or we can do this ourselves by process of elimination — I think we can rule out Christine Quinn, Sydney Leathers, Lauren Silverman, Lena Dunham, and Ivanka Trump, for example), former Secretary of State Colin Powell, 76, is denying that he ever had an affair with Romanian diploma Corina Cretu, 47, whom he met about 10 years ago.

Keith Olbermann has been fired from Current TV for not honoring his five-year, $50 million contract. This comes a little over a year after Olbermann left MSNBC under less than happy circumstances.
