Weiner's final campaign moment as classy as you'd expect

Breathtakingly blasphemous.

After delivering a concession speech that conspicuously failed to mention his wife, then exiting the venue by literally running through the McDonald's next door to avoid a confrontation with his former sexting partner who had shown up, Anthony Weiner spent what will probably be his last second in the public eye flipping off reporters through his car window as he was driven away.

Stay classy, Anthony.
 
Embarrassing. His whole campaign probably goes down as the most awesome train wreck in the history of train wrecks.
 
I deplored him 6 months ago... but the more I watch... the more I like him.
 
It was just an insane night for him. Almost surreal. He is just such a skilled politician. You can see that. The things I hated most in him... I'm actually starting to admire.... a bit. That sliminess... his absolute conviction that nothing will stop him from his goals... not a stupid name, not pictures of his Weiner floating around on the net... nothing.... He was almost like Bulworth.... or Michael Douglas in falling down.... it was just insane.

You'll likely get your wish. I can see him taking Jerry Springers place one day easy enough.

"Tonight on Weiner!, I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body and I have a gambling adiction..."

And then he'll move on to the topic of the show and introduce his guests.

Are they sure it was his finger he was showing?
 
I think the background to this is, Weiner would be a piece of work even without the scandals.

Former staffers say at times he could be very abusive to those working for him. He shouted, he cursed, he berated. He even threw office furniture around.

If you watch him he appears to be tightly wound. Notice the prominent jaw clenching thing he always does? Where his upper mandible bulges out? In fact, he does have a reputation for being incredibly hyper and high strung.

He's not an attractive package.

At first I thought he was being unfairly railroaded. Then he repeats the same moronic thing that got him in trouble in the first place? Then as more and more comes out about him I just got disgusted with him. He needs to go away and never be heard from again.
 
A.The consensus of his Democratic Collegues in the New York State Legislature was that he was a lousy representive. Did little actual work,was lazy, never had any constructive ideas and the only thing he was good at was showboating. This was pretty widely known before the first scandle hit.
B. His getting caught...again..for the same thing,regardless of what it was, shows that he was just too stupid to be in high office. You have to wonder,given his bad work habits and his basic stupidity,how big a train wreck he would have been for NYC had he made it as Mayor.

He's fun to watch, but in any kind of office with real power and responsibility..and Mayor of NYC is defiently that....he would be total train wreck and do serious damage.
