Anthony Weiner Asks New Yorkers For "Another Chance"

Third? Fourth?

As predicted by Anthony Weiner himself, the sex scandal that led to his 2011 resignation from Congress would become an issue during his mayoral campaign. And a series of lewd texts and photos revealed Tuesday has forced Weiner to ask New Yorkers to "give him another chance."

In a news conference late Tuesday afternoon, Weiner read a statement apologizing for his behavior and he repeated, as he has done since he jumped into the New York City mayoral race in May, that he and his wife, Huma Abedin, are "moving forward."

After years of putting up with Fascist Bloomberg New Yorkers should be fine with Weiner staying in. They're used to that sort of thing.

At least with Weiner as their mayor, New Yorkers will be more apt to get screwed over by him in the literal sense rather than the figurative sense, a la Nanny Bloomberg. But unless you're as devoted to this weasel as Huma is, I'm not sure that's much of an improvement.
