Carlos Danger: 'I'm not an idiot'
[POLITICO] In his first national media interview since losing the New York City mayoral primary, former Rep. Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner
...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.

You are an unemployed pervert.

#4  An unlikeable obnoxious asshole. And Weiner is too

Bitch slap of the day.

#5  Which means you should know better, but chose not to.

Which is worse.

#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.

Democratic Official Allan Brauer Wishes Death on Ted Cruz Aide's Children

#1  Remember, folks. "Tolerance" is a one way street...
Posted by: tu3031 || 09/21/2013 1:01 Comments || Top||

#2  Mr. Brauer better realize when he puts death wishes on someone, especially their children, that he himself can become a target. You may not believe in karma, but karma believes in you. Very stupid thing to do.

#3  "May your parents have a child just like you" is my favorite.

#4  But then Democrats seem to be like that, don't they.

#5  ..which is why the Klan flourished in their party.

#6  By the end of yesterday the Sacramento Democratic Party has fired Mr. Brauer, even after he apologized (and a real apology, too). Seems like he's had this problem before.

Twitchy made the difference yesterday by aggregating and amplifying the tweets made in response to Brauer's original insult. Michelle Malkin is one smart lady.

Makes me wonder if the Burg should have a tweet channel.

#7  Betcha he doesn't have any kids of his own.

#8  And as expected, this is a noon event. There is no reporting of this even at the local level. Nothing to see here folks - move along.

#9  Seems like he's had this problem before.

Well, yes. Especially with Hispanics. Had they been of the correct political persuasion, the California papers would've plastered Mr.Brauer's transgressions across front page of the Lifestyle section, at least.
