Anthony Weiner won't say if his political career will blow up again

By Richard K. Barry

Seriously. Anthony Weiner is talking like he's going to run for mayor of New York, but he wants us all to know that there could be other embarrassing pictures of him out there.

“If reporters want to go try to find more, I can’t say that they’re not going to be able to find another picture, or find another … person who may want to come out on their own, but I’m not going to contribute to that. The basics of the story are not gonna change,” Weiner told RNN-TV’s Dominic Carter.

As Nate Silver pointed out last week, according to recent polling, Weiner's negatives are impossibly high for him to win the Democratic nomination. What does Weiner suppose happens to those negatives if more pictures surface?

I always liked Weiner's politics and was really disappointed when his career imploded, but sounds to me like he thinks someone else did these things to him. He seems to consider himself an innocent bystander. He says he's not going to contribute to the basic story, as if he is not the author of that story.

Just watch the clip. I'm not wrong.

You're a talented guy, Mr. Weiner. Go do something else with your life that isn't politics. That's over.
