Congressman Anthony Weiner may be taking steps to return the the political fray. The New York Post reports that the congressman is “desperate” to return to politics, and with a large campaign chest he has the money to do it.
The disgraced former congressman — who’s sitting on a $4.5 million campaign war chest — is mulling a bid for citywide office next year and “seriously considering” a mayoral run, multiple sources told The Post.
The cocky pol is also open to the post of public advocate as a backup plan, said sources, who described the Queens Democrat as “desperate” to get back into politics.
Weiner, 47, has even spoken to former staffers about going back to work for him, according to another source.
Perhaps even more telling, Weiner was discovered linking his mobile phone up to facebook:
While mayor isn’t off the table, the more attainable “public advocate” post, which garners a salary of around $165,000, seems more likely. It’s seems as though playing Mr. Mom in Queens will be a shortlived occupation for the former congressman.

We still have not found the bottom.
There’s a bottom?
The bottom is likely to be in Weiner’s next tweet…
EWWWWWWW!!!!!! Professor, please, must you ruin the cocktail hour with such noxious information?
🙂
It’s the barbeque hour.
“Weiner links.”
With beer … Yummmmmmy!!
Looks like Annie Karnin, the author of the story, had a bit of fun, observing that Weiner is “not shrinking from elected office” in the very first sentence, then referring to him as “the cocky pol” in the passage quoted.
Later in the story, “a political consultant” is quoted as saying, “The general feeling is that you can’t text pictures of your penis to a girl, then lie about it, then kicked out of the House and then run for mayor right after, but there is a way for him to run for lesser office.”
Oh, yes; that’s certainly my “general feeling”. I’ll feel just fine about Anthony Weiner in Congress or as President once he holds a lesser office.
Psychotic.
Before voting Obama again, take a long, hard look at:

Yep, it’s me again
See!

What’s a Bloomberg?
If The Weiner wins re-Erection in NYC, will that place official become the modern equivalent of Sodom or Gomorrah ? (And I actually thought NYC couldn’t possible get any lower and more pathetic than having psycho-nanny, soda-jerk bloomberg in charge !)
OT:
This new Obama ad is so bad it looks like the Romney campaign produced it:

Of course he’s “desperate” to get back into politics. He’s never had an honest job in his life.
Kinda like when Joe Bite-Me says he wants to run for President in 2016. Please! He will get wiped out!

If NYC elects the schlub, they deserve him.
Wonder which would get more votes: a promise to send his crotch shot if you vote for him, or a promise not to send it if you vote for him?
Being “desperate” for political office should be an automatic disqualification.
PLEASE tell me the people of New York have more self-respect than this. PLEASE tell me they will laugh him to the curb.
Rose, most Democrats are just making excuses for the man, much like they did for Clinton. Check around the comments made after the stories. When Democrats can reelect convicted felons (Marion Barry, etc), one has to wonder about their so-called ‘intellectual prowess’.
Well, New York already has had a Mayor Koch, so
why not a Mayor Crotch.
Weiner should bide his time, let the memories dim some more. Under federal law, as long as he holds no current federal office, he can keep the campaign account open and pay himself a salary to “explore” the possibilities.
Just ask Christine O’Donnell and Herman Cain how that works.
I guess he feels that he already has plenty of exposure in the public eye.
Little Anthony”Tweet Your Weiner” Weiner running NYC. A Pervert married to Huma Abedin, the daughter of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, running the number one terrorist target in the world. CAIR will certainly no longer have any concerns about there being anti Islamic elements in the NYC police anti terrorist training programs.

NYC will rapidly gain the appellation of Londonistan West

So …….the teacher walked into the classroom to find the word “penis” chalked in small letters on the board. She was a bit embarrassed, so she didn’t say anything, but rubbed it out and went on with the class. But the next day when she came in, she found the same thing again – “penis”, this time written slightly larger.
So she rubbed it out again, and went on with the lesson. Again next day, in larger letters, there was the word “penis” again. With a red face she rubbed it out and went on with the lesson. Well, this went on for a whole week, every day the word penis getting bigger. Finally, on Friday she went into the classroom to find chalked up: “See, the harder you rub it, the bigger it gets!”
Let’s all “rub” the ego of “disgraced former congressman, Anthony “Dick” Weiner”!
