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

[newyorkguy]

And then decided he could tell other people how to micromanage their lives, even how much soda they could drink...

Nope. I think he did the right thing. Kind of.

Fast food places in New York started serving super-size soft drinks with the value meals, I too asked them, why do I have to have a super-sized drink? They said because, "It comes with the meal." Okay. So you take your kids to Taco Bell buy them combo meals to save a few bucks and they all get 42-ounce super-sized drinks. Bloomberg forced them to stop doing that.

Remember when you were a kid. When Dad bought you a hot dog? And a can of soda. What would Dad have said if you asked, Could I have a quart of soda, too?

Bloomberg's position was, "These drinks are unhealthy to begin with. You serve a kid a super-sized soda he wants to drink the whole thing. Twenty years from now society may be paying to cover part of his medical expenses."

IMO serving an eight-year-old a 42-ounce soda should be misdemeanor-child endangerment.

I hate to prick everybody's bubble, but Wiener is a hard man, he'll be up again soon, and he'll attempt to re-enter politics, through the back door if necessary. He won't be tossed off this easily! He's ambitious to be cock-of-the-walk!

What will he erect on the ruins of his first try?

This is gong to get real messy.

Weiner's leaving the scene will sadden one bunch of people:The Comedians. He has given them easy material for the past six weeks.

FTFY

I understand David Letterman is urging Weiner to "stay involved, Anthony, we need you guy!"

A lot of jokes three year ago with Weiner being caught the first time,but he has pretty much vanished from view outside of NYC until he got caught a second time Six Weeks ago. That is when he became God's Gift to Comedians.

The ruins of his second try.

"I built a nationally recognized political campaign! It sank into the comedic swamp. So I built a second political campaign. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third! That burned, fell over, then sank into the comedic swamp! But the fourth one will stay up!"

"And one day son, this will all be yours."

Want it or not.

But the fourth one will stay up!"

Only if politics has a blue pill.

I think that for politicians, politics are a blue pill.

Her mentor stuck with Bill...

Well bill actually had charisma. And cheating on your wife is way more acceptable than sending naughty twitter messages.

I'm good friends with a 26-year-old guy who works in IT but is trying to be a stand-up comedian.

I informed him I cast a vote for Weiner. One of about 3 in my district to do so (I'm a Board of Elections pollworker and so have access to that info.)

He asked why in the world I would do something so spectacularly insane and stupid.

I told him "For you, to give you some material".

He said "Oh, right! Thanks!"

I don't think he has to worry. Politicians doing something incredibly stupid pretty much come off the assembly line daily.
