Former NYC congressman and mayoral candidate Anthony “I’m not sure if that was my weiner” Weiner has joined Business Insider as a political columnist. The disgraced Weiner joins the disgraced Henry Blodgett, who has been banned from the securities industry for life.
But Weiner, unfortunately, hasn’t been banned from politics, and if you don’t think he still lusts after being mayor of New York, note that his new column is called Weiner!, just like the Broadway musical was called Fiorello!
Anthony Weiner finished dead last in the New York City Dem primary for mayor. He got about 5%.
It’s still unclear if Bill de Blasio got enough votes (he needs 40%) to avoid a runoff against Bill Thompson.
And whoremonger Eliot Spitzer lost his primary race for comptroller to Scott Stringer.
“DNC Chair Won’t Touch Weiner” on Drudge
It links to a story at The Weekly Standard with the more tasteful headline, “DNC Chair Won’t Comment on Weiner.”
Disgraced exhibitionist and fading NYC mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner told BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith that he knows what role his wife Huma Abedin will play in Hillary’s 2016 campaign.
So Weiner appears to have made Hillary’s announcement for her. I didn’t think the Clintons could be more pissed at him, but I expect they are.
The Justice Department is changing its charging policies so that those who commit low-level, non-violent drug crimes will not face harsh mandatory minimum sentences.
And in Floyd v. New York, a federal judge has found New York City’s minority-heavy stop-and-frisk policies unconstitutional (Duh!). The judge noted that 88% of those targeted by the NYPD are released without being charged with anything, which told her that there wasn’t sufficient suspicion to stop them in the first place.
Get rid of A-Rod, Eliot Spitzer, and Anthony Weiner. Just banish them as the ancient Greeks used to do.
Spitzer is refusing to deny allegations that he has a mistress. His wife has not been on the campaign trail with him at all.
Just as Bill and Hillary are struggling with Weiner and Huma, Monica’s back and just where you’d expect to find her — the National Enquirer, of course.
They are publishing an old tape she made for him after their affair ended, begging to see him alone and proposing that she take off her clothes, plus assorted love notes.
In one note she refers to Gingko Biloba as Gingko Blowjoba.
In the last photos I saw of Monica, taken in New York City, she looked like Rosie O’Donnell.
I’m tired of seeing Anthony Weiner called a narcissist, as if he’s merely self-centered.
The man’s an exhibitionist. He’s like the perverts running around in raincoats exposing themselves to women. The mayor of New York is supposed to protect his citizens from such sickos, he’s not supposed to be one himself.
Drop out, Anthony. You’ve dropped your drawers too many times.
The CIA is prohibited from doing domestic surveillance.
Yet, the NYT has a front-page story* about four CIA officers who were embedded with the New York City police. In response to a FOIA request, the Times got a declassified executive summary of a CIA Inspector General report from December 2011 about this relationship, which apparently occurred between 2002 and 2012. They say it isn’t going on now, but how the hell do we know who and what to believe anymore?

NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev planned to head to Times Square and detonate their remaining third pressure-cooker bomb and five pipe bombs.
