Last week I wrote that Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York was surely the victim of a set up over the Twitter sex photo because I believed no one in his position would be so stupid as to risk his promising career.
Duh. Turns out I was the dumb one.
Weiner came to my office three weeks ago and made a big play for Irish Americans support ---I was taken by his sincerity.
Which just goes to show whaddya I know?
Turns out Anthony was living up to his last name by tweeting his weiner and other body part all around the Internet.
This from a man widely considered to be favorite to become the next Mayor of New York.
It was the kind of reckless behavior that makes you wonder whether the man had a brain in his head.
Obviously not because he still refused to step down after being literally exposed.
He is busted flush, a flaccid weiner, a spent force.
We all now who is smiling tonight---- City Speaker Christine Quinn who is in a great position now o build a big lead with her biggest opponent out of the way.
The Irish Americans looks to have one foot in Gracie Mansions after this combustion happened.
Which goes to show a week is a long time in politics for a weiner.

Weiner's mistake was that he is not the weiner the world awaited.

Do we really need Christine Quinn who sold her vote to Bloomberg so he could thumb his nose at the voters and have a third term? She's ready to null and void any voters desires to suit her own. She deserves nothing, certainly does not deserve to be mayor.

It's hard to believe that Weiner could be that daft – or that tawdry. But there you go. A middle-aged man in his underpants: every young girl's dream. By the way, Niall, you obviously wrote that piece in haste. I detected three errors, all needless – most obviously "whaddya" for (I suppose) "waddo". If you wish to acquire presidential gravitas, you should slow down.

Why don't Lord O'Dowd run for mayor ? The Day of an Irish or Irish American mayor in NYC is over. Quinn has a chance as major,as lord O'Dowd being president of Ireland. Wake up O'Dowd you're dreaming again !

Anthony Weiner has displayed a drastic lack of judgment and should resign now.
