Now I usually support Democrats, and Anthony Weiner used to be one of my favorites, but this is a bad idea!

Saying that he would like, at some point, to “ask people to give me a second chance,” Anthony D. Weiner, the former congressman who resigned in 2011 amid a scandal over his lewd online behavior, is mulling a run for mayor this year because “it’s now or maybe never for me.” 

In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, which was posted online Wednesday morning and is to be published in print on Sunday, Mr. Weiner cautioned that he did not know when he would decide about entering the race, and conceded that “the fact that I don’t know tells me I shouldn’t run. Or I should not run now.” He also acknowledged that he would be “the underdog in any race I ran,” citing a poll he commissioned earlier this year to gauge whether voters were prepared to forgive him and take him seriously as a candidate. 

Mr. Weiner and his publicity-averse wife, Huma Abedin, sought in the interview to demonstrate that he was a changed and humbled man: a stay-at-home father living in what the magazine writer describes as a “sprawling apartment” on Park Avenue South, far from the Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods Mr. Weiner represented in the House of Representatives for more than a decade. 

“Some people just don’t buy it,” Mr. Weiner said. “Like they just don’t have room for a second narrative about me.”

Oh hell no! Those people are right not to have room for a second narrative.

Like I said, I used to REALLY like this man, and often stood and applauded his aggressiveness in taking on the Republican party, but he needs to stay the hell out of politics.

He just does.

I am beyond impressed that he managed to save his marriage, I have certainly had marriages end for far less than what he did, but he should simply be happy with that and look for another line of work and NOT try to get EVERYTHING back to the way it was when he tweeted his penis.

Once you do something like that, lie about, and then have to admit that every Right Wing rag that called you out for lying were right, the Democratic party just does not have any use for you any more in my opinion.

I mean if he were a Republican like David Vitter, or Larry Craig, or Mark Sanford, or Larry Craig, it might be acceptable. After all being a pervert, a hypocrite, or a habitual liar, is how you get into politics as a Republican.

But not for Democrats, we need to be better than that.

Anybody disagree? Or think I am being too harsh?
