National Journal‘s Steven Shepard reports that Anthony Weiner’s
Politico also carries an item about this development, describing the events that made Weiner into a has-been with exquisite delicacy:
No mention, here, of Weiner’s party affiliation. And the summing up the events that led to his disgrace as the “misfiring” of “a racy photo over Twitter” really doesn’t quite do the thing justice. It was more than one photo and they were more than just “racy.” He hung on first by denying, then by blaming others, and then by promising to “get help.” Finally, when cornered, he resigned. (Should you want to refresh your memory of the sordid details, go here & here.)
Now, he may be on the verge of returning. Is Eliot Spitzer not available?
