Already being treated as a celebrity, Anthony Weiner found a unique way to distinguish himself from his opponents. At the first mayoral forum he attended since he launched his mayoral bid, Mr. Weiner stood up to answer questions while his opponents remained seated. He wore a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves while they all wore dark suit jackets and ties.
Bill Thompson, who was seated next to Mr. Weiner, raised two compelling theories to Mr. Weiner standing out. “I don’t know if his legs were tired and he wanted to stretch them or what,” Thompson told a group of reporters on his way out, adding that Weiner’s seat at the debate, right next to the podium, could have blocked his view of half the room. “I thought that was what it was more about. He was trying to be seen on the other side of the room because his head was right up against the podium.”
The forum’s topic was education. Yet based on the reports so far, it was former congressman Anthony Weiner—not education policy—that stole the show.

The fact that this guy is relevant at all says much about our society, and it’s not good.
Mr. Cuomo was right on the money when he said shame on Us id this person is elected mayor. The isue is not only his escesses ( what a role model for our childeren), or even the fact that when confronted he initialy denied everything ( credibility?). Of equal importance is the fact that he was a terrible representative of his constituents. He supported all tax increase, he was the poster boy for Obama care, he is in favor of according terrorsts constituional rights ,and trying them in civilian courts and even trying the 9/11 terrorists in lower manhattan.
