Buh-bye, Anthony "Wiener" Weiner"

(82,333 posts)He has a lot to offer.
I answered "not sure" because I think he could get it together, potentially, assuming he has the capacity to control his appetites. Which is a pretty big assumption in his case.
I don't necessarily like the guy on a personal level - to be honest I feel bad for his (quite attractive, not that it matters) wife - and there are a few issues on which I disagree strongly with him, but I won't deny that he's a gifted politician. You don't get as far as he has, certainly not with such obvious character flaws, unless you are.

he knew he didn't have a chance to win mayor and yet he went out there selling his stupidity.
Oiy. Gotta feel some sorry for the guy, he's messed up big time.
