I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the military, well, except that you could say it’s about Weiner’s “little soldier”, I guess, but Anthony Weiner announced that he’s going to try to run for the mayorship of New York after resigning from Congress in disgrace for flashing pictures of his underwear around the internet. Now he thinks that the city has sunk so low under Nanny Bloomberg that he must look good to New Yorker voters. But he issues the proviso that there may be more pictures, “it is what it is” he told WNYC-FM listeners<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Yeah, well, if “what it is” is just pictures of his drawers, it shouldn’t be a big deal, but that’s not the extent of it, actually. Remember how he explained the photos initially? Someone hacked his Twitter account, he said. Federal officers even conducted an investigation into the allegations, expending public funds to investigate that which Weiner knew was false. If you or I had made a false report to police, we’d be a lot lighter in our wallets than we are right now, maybe even making weekly meetings with our parole officer.<\/p>\n

Just like with the Clinton scandal, it’s supposed to be about a “personal matter”, because that’s what titillates the media, but actually it should more about his lies. Does New York City really need someone who tells a bald-faced lie to his constituents and the national media, just because he embarrassed himself? Can you ever trust a thing he says ever again?<\/p>\n

The childish photos are just the tip of the problem here, it’s about the more adult problem of failing to take responsibility for a relatively minor offense. New York State’s Legacy Governor Gomer Cuomo says “shame on us”<\/a> if New York City elects Weiner. Yeah, well, if New York elects Weiner as their mayor, they have no shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
