I'd never vote for him if I lived in NYC... but it has ZERO to do with his sex scandal which is among the more minor I've ever seen...

Anthony Weiner is gone, and will never come back. Sad, he had so much potential...

Anyway, I have a gut feeling that this is just for a PAC.

I still don't understand why he didn't immediately admit what he'd done while vowing to remain in office.

He was probably expecting the media coverage on the scandal to die down, but it never did.  Had he told the truth in the first place, he'd probably still be in office today.

He clearly was not good under pressure, which is a second hurdle for him to jump besides the his love for sexting if he wants a comeback.

You're a Weiner fan, Sanchez?

Of course he is. Everyone should love Weiner. Who couldn't love Weiner? Heck, even Rick Santorum probably loves Weiner.

I'm going to take this opportunity to quote Lief and agree with what he's saying. It's a refreshing alternative to his usual habit of expressing the exact opposite of my opinion.

I would also like to encourage Lief, in a friendly manner, to continue his excellent timeline on the Election What-ifs board, The American Monarchy.

No, not at all, in fact, I personally disliked him a lot. But I think he was a President in the making...

I like Weiner, and I'd be excited to see him rise again. Thrusting back into politics could help repair his image. However, if he were to run for mayor, he may face a stiff challenge from other local politicians. Winning, depending on his opponent, could be a hard job.

...You do realize that the entire post was intentionally pun-laden?

Which is why I posted it in the Institute of Comedy.

This is brilliant. Rather subtle.
