Some hilarious exchanges in
this Real Clear Politics piece about Anthony Weiner campaigning in Harlem.
Here are my favorites:
The scandal-scarred former congressman made his way through the
building methodically, reminding residents to vote in the Sept. 10
primary and taking plenty of rebuffs along the way.
“I already said I didn’t want to meet you,” a woman inside one door,
which remained closed, told Weiner. “Please stop knocking on my door.”
The woman’s response was directed at the candidate, but Weiner seemed
intent upon deflecting it -- along with the rest of the mostly negative
vibe that permeated his visit -- onto his earnest young staffers.
“This is ridiculous,” he muttered to no one in particular as he
struggled to figure out which door to knock on next. “This is quite a
mess. Quite a mess.”
Ah, yes - blaming the interns on his staff.
He'll make a fine mayor.
And then there's this:
Yet throughout his Harlem visit, Weiner demonstrated a penchant for
challenging some of the people who were willing to take him seriously.
When one supporter invited Weiner and more than a dozen members of
the media into his apartment, the candidate noted the Israeli flag the
man had displayed in his living room.
“Are you Israeli?” Weiner asked.
No, the man answered, explaining that he is a Christian who believes
in the central role Israel would play in paving the way for the second
coming of Jesus Christ.
“Got it,” Weiner said. “But don’t you also believe that we have to be wiped out before the Messiah can return?”
The Weiner circus rolls on...
He was also goofing on a female English reporter, too.
ReplyDeleteI think his calling should be a late night comedian's sidekick.
Kimmel, Fallon, someone should hire him for the laughs.
The dude should pack it in.
Don't you think a career in pornography makes more sense for him?
DeleteHis former sexting partner just started one.
Why not Anthony?
