| Carlos Danger: 'I'm not an idiot' |
| 2013-09-21 |
[POLITICO] In his first national media interview since losing the New York City mayoral primary, former Rep. Anthony Carlos DangerWeiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... joined Geraldo Rivera for a nearly 20-minute appearance on Rivera's radio show Friday, taking responsibility for his loss while also blaming the media for focusing on his sexting scandal. As he did on the trail, Weiner said he tried to run a campaign on the issues, but he admitted that revelations of further sexting after his resignation from Congress led to his loss. "If you're breaking the news here that the scandal and how it came back and the new things that came out ... more things came out, yes of course, I'm not an idiot, I know it succeeded in derailing my campaign," Weiner told Rivera, who said he was an early supporter of Weiner's candidacy but was surprised when news came out that Weiner's online interactions with women continued as long as they did. "I took this campaign, frankly, on a bet, and that was that something at the end of the day that was behind me should not stop me," Weiner said. "Ten months behind you, that's like yesterday," Rivera responded. Weiner repeatedly told Rivera he tried to run on the issues, but the media wasn't having it, saying there is a "disconnect between people in your business" and citizens' concerns. |

| #6 Hey maybe a reality show in the future? Maybe with Huba hubba hubba? A contrition tour? Ophgra guest host? Hell why not? This is America! Today is the first day in the rest of your run, which may be 33 weeks, 5 years or forever, if you go into syndication. |
