Anthony Weiner: I’d Be Mayor It It Weren’t For That Darn Internet

Anthony Weiner has figured out why he didn’t win the New York City Mayoral Primary:

He was born at the wrong time.

Anthony Weiner says if he ran for mayor before there was a Worldwide Web, he ‘d now be calling the shots at City Hall.

“Maybe if the Internet didn’t exist? Like, if I was running in 1955? I’d probably get elected mayor,” Weiner told GQ magazine in a profile titled, ‘The year of Living Carlos Dangerously.”

Yea, that’s it. It was all the Internet’s fault.

    Well, he does have a point. If the internet wasn’t around it would have been much harder to find out Weiner is a creepy pathological liar.

    He says it as though we shouldn’t be unimpressed by someone who wanted to be mayor of the largest city in the US but lacks the impulse control to be alive at a time when the Internet exists.

    This doesn’t tell us anything new about him, only about how low GQ will stoop. And about how low I’ll stoop by clicking on another Weiner story. But let’s overlook that last part.

    Weiner: evidence that not all the WTF? is on the right…..

    Go away, please. Go in a car, go in a huff, just GO AWAY. Pull a Profumo and spend the next 30 years of your life working in soup kitchens and helping the poor. Then, maybe, you will have learned enough to be let back into civilized society.

    Hey, no self-awareness allowed — this is the internet!

    @wr: Yeah, if there’s one place you shouldn’t see the word “self-awareness”, it’s in a discussion of Anthony Weiner.

    What do you have against the poor?

    If it weren’t for the internet, Weiner would be in prison for exposing himself to women in Central Park. He should feel grateful that the internet allows him to act on his favorite kink from the privacy of his own home.

    Is he saying that if it was 1960 he would have found a way to share his ‘texts’ with Marilyn Monroe or Angie Dickinson?

    Seriously, he needs an intervention, he needs to be cured of his narcissism disorder.
