2Pz mayor watch

last night, i caught some of the mayoral debate on latino issues, which took place among the democratic candidates at hunter college, and aired on NY1, so pretty legitimate. i went in a christine quinn supporter, but after giving about 45 minutes of my time to make ill-informed, personality-based judgments, i think i'm starting to be swayed by the charms of mr. bill de blasio. people keep saying he's the one we're "supposed to like", anywayz.

so, i thought a good way to jump into this race was to follow a few on twitter. i am now following @ChrisCQuinn, @BillThompsonNYC, @JohnLiu2013, and @deBlasioNYC. i am NOT following @anthonyweiner as i'm not tryin' to see any dick pics on my twitter feed (pervert).

anyway, i made a major discovery on my way, and that is that BILL DE BLASIO IS FOLLOWING ME!!! that's a surefire way to get this vote, if you know what i mean. also, he's friends with alec baldwin, so.

who are you leaning toward so far? tell me everything. here's a handy guide to get you started. let's learn together.

anthony and huma profile

the weiners tell all in the new york times magazine, and there are some cute hillary anecdotes, too.

By June 1, when Weiner said, “I can’t say with certitude” if the picture was of him, it was clear, at least to most of the world, that he was guilty of something. That weekend, Weiner and Abedin escaped to a friend’s house in the Hamptons to get away from all the “hoopla,” as Weiner calls it, “and that’s when people starting coming out of the woodwork. I got a call from Chris Cuomo saying that they had someone who was going to say that I texted with her. It reached this point where I just sat down with Huma and said, ‘Listen, I can’t. . . . I don’t want to lie.’ . . . I just didn’t want to lie anymore to her.” Here, his voice cracks and tears well up in his eyes. “I have a choppy memory of it, but she was devastated. She immediately said, ‘Well you’ve got to stop lying to everyone else too.’ And basically we drove back to the city, and she said: ‘You’ve just got to tell everyone the truth. Telling me doesn’t help any.’ It was brutal. It was completely out of control. There was the crime, there was the cover-up, there was harm I had done to her. And there’s no one who deserved this less than Huma. That’s really the bottom line. No one deserved to have a dope like me do that less than she did.” (via)
