Seriously??

[TrickyBob]

I was really hoping this was going to be about a dog. (The cute kind)

[Saint Monica]

He will work HARD for the people

[Saint Monica]

He is UP to the BIG challenges the POSITION entails.

[mbcdefg]

He won't be giving New Yorkers the shaft.

[Saint Monica]

I'm sure he will RISE to the occasion.

[Captain Serious]

Well, he can't be worse than Czar Bloomberg.

[Kit]

L O fucking L at this guy.

Dang it! PB ate my post.

I read an interview with him in Vanity Fair (I think?) and I can't believe I'm about to say this, but he seemed really relatable. He seems to have learned from his huge lapse in judgement and character.

Also, his wife seems like an incredible woman. She was working for Hilary Clinton at the time that she found out about the tweets, and what the Cintons did for her was amazing. If anyone understands, it's Hilary!

ETA: I was wrong.  It was the Times. Worth the read.

Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayor Weiner!!!!

He needs to enlist Gray's Papaya as a sponsor, stat.

You know what, if Mark Sanford can have a comeback after lying to everyone about his whereabouts when he was out of the country having an extramarital affair, then a guy who tweeted dick pics can too. It's ironic that only Republicans stay in office after sex scandals. You've got a senator from Louisiana who admitted having sex with prostitutes - still a U.S. Senator.
