ICYMI yesterday, Alexis Levinson reported:
Two years ago, Anthony Weiner was a political pariah. Today, he is the front-runner in the race to become the next mayor of New York City.
An NBC 4/Wall Street Journal poll conducted by Marist released Tuesday found Weiner leading the Democratic primary field with 25 percent of the vote. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, considered the front-runner for the race before Weiner jumped in, gets 20 percent.
More and more New Yorkers are opening up, willing to accommodate Weiner! Get it? Because they’re seriously thinking about voting for him.
I don’t have to tell you how thrilled I am about this, but I’m going to anyway. Dude: A guy named Weiner, who waves his dong around all over the place, is gonna be the mayor of New York! It’s awesome, assuming you don’t live there.
As New York magazine quotes Weiner at a housing-issues forum in the East Village last night:
“I can’t say milk and honey are gonna flow through the streets of New York if you make me your mayor, but I guarantee you this: No one will work harder for you than I will.”
No, neither milk nor honey are the fluids you’ve become known for, Anthony. But we know you’ll give us everything you’ve got.
We want Weiner!
We want Weiner!
We want Weiner!
We want Weiner!
Everybody!
We want Weiner!
We–
Oh, come on, you guys…
