NY Post Grills Weiner at High Temp
The following report is a posting I picked up at the New York Post today. They are describing a meeting Mr. Weiner had with Chris Owens a Committee Chairman. The reason this picked my interest is how this publication goes after Wiener.
I posted a lot last year about Mt. Weiner when the whole incident was discovered. I don’t see anything new coming out so I guess it will be up to the voters. I will point out that he is serving as a spoil candidate for the other ones that have been at their post either because they have done nothing wrong or they have not gotten caught yet. I can surely see worse candidates for the City that doesn’t sleep.
I do have a candidate in mind which I think she has done a good job as The City Council Speaker with the exception she was often too close to the mayor who by the way kicked her in the back and have suggested everyone but her as his replacement. The great thing about her is that she is very smart, committed to NYC and a Lesbian. We, the gay community in NYC will benefit having her as the mayor of the this great city. She is smart and she is young, Now Im waiting to see how she fairs against the others, but do Like Ms. Quinn and all in all she is done a good job. The job of speaker is a job that makes the person be a target by all. I have heard the nicest things about her and the naughtiest. You figure.

NY Post on Mr. Weiner:
As The Post reported this week, Weiner had a bit of a snit fit when a local Democratic official boldly slammed his sexting habits with underage girls. Chris Owens, a state committeeman in Brooklyn, called out the skeezy ex-congressman at a mayoral candidate forum.
“I am outraged and disgusted by you,” Owens told Weiner. “Both by what you did and by the fact that you have the arrogance to run for mayor. I want to understand how you explain to us how you used a public facility to tweet offensive material to . . . minors you did not know, you then lied about it . . . and now you come back.”
The hubristic horn-dog bared his teeth, got “snippy” and responded by snarling defensively that he’s “going to win this election and I’m going to govern this city really well.”
Don’t get ahead of yourself there, Tweety Boy. There’s still that underage-girl problem.
Weiner’s enablers at The New York Times have done their best to downplay the scandal’s sordid pedo angle. He’s just a luvin’ hubby and conscientious dad who came clean about a momentary lapse in social-media judgment. And he accepts responsibility. No crime, no foul, right?
Not quite. Remember: Democratic women on Capitol Hill stood by Weiner and his Twitter tawdriness until a critical moment almost exactly two years ago this week: It was the moment news broke that, among his bevy of online groupies, Weiner had communicated with at least one teen in Delaware.
Weiner had flirted with the underage girl through Twitter direct messages using a macho line about donning “cape and tights” — a quip he’d also used with an adult woman with whom he had exchanged raunchier, sexually explicit messages.
Conservative blogger Patrick Frey (patterico.com) first uncovered the evidence. Fox News then broke the news in the mainstream press that Delaware police had visited the girl’s home and questioned her about her communications with Weiner. The 17-year-old said she had met Weiner on a school trip to Washington.
At his watershed press conference circus on June 6, 2011, Weiner claimed he “never had an intention of having a relationship with underage women” and blustered that the girls he communicated with “weren’t young, per se.”
Per se?
Just a few days later, Weiner had to admit he’d exchanged “at least five private messages on Twitter” with the Delaware girl, not two as initially reported. He also denied that any messages to the teen were “explicit” or “indecent.”
But can the serial liar be believed? Weiner has admitted that more creepoid photos or messages may surface. He told WNYC: “People may decide they want to come forward and say, here’s another e-mail that I got or another photo. I’m certainly not going to do that. So people may hear things that are true, they may hear things that are not true, but I’m going to try to keep being focused on issues that are important to New York City.”
Silly me, but perhaps the predatory perv behavior of a leading mayoral candidatesshould be an issue of concern.
Stories about Weiner’s hot pursuits of young Capitol Hill interns date back to 2001. At least one young woman told Vanity Fair that Weiner hunted down her e-mail address, bragged about riding on Air Force One and extended an invitation to visit his office in person.
Trolling habits die hard. And all the sex therapy in the world can’t cure pathological skeeviness.
The man who wants to be New York’s mayor was willing to blame truth-seeker Andrew Breitbart for “hacking” into his rancid social media accounts. He was willing to mislead his lifelong Democratic pals and enlist them in his phony conspiracy to cover his tracks.
This isn’t merely a “private matter.” It’s about public fitness for office. Anthony Weiner thinks he should be put back in political power because he effectively champions “middle-class” values. Middle-class New Yorkers who value decency, honesty and safe work and online environments for your young daughters, speak now or forever hold your peace.
