Ex-US Rep. Weiner weighing run for NYC mayor
Wednesday, April 10, 2013 12:40:57 PM
Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (WEE'-nur), who resigned over a sexting scandal in 2011, says he's weighing a run for New York City mayor this year.
The Democrat tells New York Times Magazine (
http://nyti.ms/10Jnf1d) "it's now or maybe never for me." But he acknowledges that it's a long shot because some people "just don't have room for a second narrative about me."
He says he doesn't know when he'll decide on entering the race, and concedes he'd be an underdog.
Weiner represented Queens and Brooklyn for more than a decade before resigning amid the scandal over his lewd online behavior.
The interview was posted online Wednesday and is scheduled to be published on Sunday.
His wife is Huma Abedin (HOO'-muh AB'-uh-deen), a longtime aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This begs for a bathetic treatment, of the "first narrative " about Mr. Wiener:
How Creepy to Know Mister Weiner
(a text message from a 17 year old girl, to her schoolmates)
How
creepy to text Mister Weiner!
When I’d barely turned seventeen
He posted a pic of his wiener,
And claimed it was fit for a queen.
He bragged he was hung like a horse
To all of my Twittering friends.
While his wife’s overseas, he’s the boss;
(When she’s home, he’ll be making amends).
He boasted his “package” was awesome,
As if of gargantuan size.
In high school, I recently saw some
Much bigger, on some of the guys.
As soon as his pictures went viral
He was taken to task by Obama.
His life in D.C. took a spiral;
He’s returned to New York, and his momma.
Now, back at home in Forest Hills,
(Where I doubt that his lifestyle is cleaner);
Just what is he doing for thrills?
That
creepy ex-Congressman Weiner.
(I'll have to drop a stanza to make it fit - probably the second one)
