Anthony Weiner not 'qualified' to be New York City mayor: Christine Quinn
This post from the Daily News says everything I have been talking about Anthony Weiner.
Some say his timing was wrong, he should have waited. I say is not the timing but the character and judgement of this individual. Something is not clicking right in his clockwork.
Nothing seems right about this man the closer we look. I have nothing against having sympathy for him except he wants to mess with a lot work that has been done to make New York City What it is and more important the lives of the people that live here. Adam
Anthony Weiner, New York mayoral candidate, cannot escape from his online sex life.
Anthony Weiner is not qualified to lead the greatest city in the world, said his bitter rival in New York's Democratic mayoral primary.
"When you see scandal after scandal about this, what it does is create even more distrust and maybe even disgust in government," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, said on "Meet the Press" Sunday. "We really need to move beyond that."
Quinn tried to steer the conversation beyond Weiner by discussing her budget-balancing as council speaker, but the question of Weiner's eligibility — like his digital trail of lewd selfies — simply will not go away.
"Has he disqualified himself? Yes. He disqualified himself, but not just because of these scandals," Quinn said
The City Council speaker slammed her fellow mayoral candidate on 'Meet the Press' Sunday, saying Weiner wasn't qualified to be mayor before he left Congress in 2011, noting how he had only passed one bill during his 12 years in office. She also called his 'scandal after scandal' a distraction from the real issues of the race.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, (right) thinks Weiner is not qualified even if the sexting scandals never happened.
She said Weiner's habitual sexting is largely a distraction from important issues and that he was not even qualified before resigning from Congress in disgrace in 2011.
"He was in Congress for 12 years, he passed one bill," she said.
Quinn was only the primary sponsor of two of the 927 bills that reached the City Council since 2010, as a Daily News analysis revealed.
Recent polls show that Quinn leads the race for the Democratic nomination.
