best part of the Weiner sex scandal is all journalists/reporters are having a field day with the creative headlines and puns
It's funny but what does it have to do with running for mayor? I remember the mayor of San Francisco being not the best morally but a great mayor
well for one. This should scare you What are the odds that job isn't tax payer funded? Second, He lies and cheats on his wife and the public. He cares so little about his family that he would do this to them. Do you really think he wouldn't lie to his constituents? Do we really think he gives a **** about his constituents?
Everyone should try the Carlos Danger Name Generator I tried it twice, my nom de plorno is either Juan Jeopardy or Mario Menace.
Lets see. Hes corrupt, a cheat, a liar, a sex addict, no morals, egomaniac, narcisist, sleezy, doesnt care about his family or wife... What makes you think he gives a crap about anyone else? Are those qualities you want in a elected leader?

Every time I hear the name Carlos Danger, I laugh. But I don't mind when obviously s***ty people are in politics. It actually helps me bring people over to the Good Side. Victorino Death Dang. That's a little harsh.
you're certainly free to disregard; it does say that you don't care about character as a qualification for public life. which is interesting.
Forgive me but with your history, most people on this board would reject your definition of character. Anyway twas very stupid of Wiener to even consider a run for mayor. And I don't like Quinn so I'm not sure who I'll be voting for.
You haven't really thought about it much. I know Christians that think adultery should be punishable by law. You shall not commit adultery you shall not covet your neighbor's wife Honestly this girl needs to have her head examined. This guy won't ever stop.
She's hanging on to see if he gets elected mayor. If he loses badly, she's out of there within six months. If he's close, she might stick around for another run at it.
I am of the opinion that if you want to run for public office, there's something wrong with you. However, I think this sexting part deux is indicative of a serious character flaw that I would not want to risk exposing public office to, over and above the sliminess of politicians in general. Is his competence so much better than the rest of the field that we'd want to take the gamble on his character? I wouldn't.
I would be in the "don't elect idiots" side of this. Weiner's politics were great, his personal judgement is awful. Of course that would rule out almost of the GOP. The Spitzer campaign is still on though. His mea culpa on Colbert was painful punishment. And, if he controls the $140 billion dollar NY pension funds, it's going to be sweet entertainment. <embed style="display:block" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:video:colbertnation.com:427891" width="288" height="247" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="window" allowFullscreen="true" flashvars="autoPlay=false" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" bgcolor="#000000"></embed>
