Politico‘s Glenn Thrush: Weiner is pathological and creepy
“Having covered child welfare in New York City– and now what I’m going to say is probably a little bit controversial. I covered child welfare and foster care in New York City.

I mean that bringing a kid and having a kid even peripherally involved in anything like that is absolutely stomach-churning. And I think we’ve gone from this being funny to this being pathological and really, really creepy.” — Politico’s Glenn Thrush on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show as reported by Mediaite‘s Alex Griswold.
