Susan Sarandon on NYC mayoral race: “You can’t just vote your vagina”

Yes, those words came out of her mouth.

NY Observer:

At first, actress Susan Sarandon expected to back Council Speaker Christine Quinn in her bid to become the city’s first female mayor. But she had to evaluate her other priorities as well.

Citing Ms. Quinn’s positions on term limits and her foot-dragging passing paid sick leave legislation, Ms. Sarandon threw her support behind the city’s public advocate, Bill de Blasio.

“As a woman, initially I was interested in Quinn,” Ms. Sarandon declared tonight at a fund-raiser at the swanky SPiN Galactic New York ping pong club. “It became clear to me that, you know as a woman, you can’t just vote your vagina.”

I find myself in a rare moment of disagreement with Ms. Sarandon. It’s not for anyone else to judge, ladies. Vote your vaginas all you want. Voting booths have curtains for a reason.

But if you just can’t bring yourself to do it, the solution is obvious. Forget about this de Blasio loser: If you can’t vote your vagina, vote your Weiner!

Speaking of the next mayor of the great city of New York, one of his old friends is making the most of the opportunity she’s been given:

This young lady is an American success story.

As for Weiner himself, he’s currently in what you might call a refractory period:

Well, it happens to everybody. Nobody can stay up forever. Just give him a minute and he’ll make a comeback you’ll never forget.

After all, is what he did really that bad, compared to a lot of his fellow Dems?
