If you thought you had seen the last of Anthony Weiner, Anthony Weiner would like you to think again. The disgraced former congressman and one-time New York City mayoral candidate is back in the news, though mercifully not because of anything to do with his phone: He says he's thinking of making a run for City Council, reports City & State New York. Weiner, currently employed as a 77WABC radio host, used his show Saturday to dangle the possibility of running for the seat of a term-limited Democrat. "I'm thinking about it. I'm wrestling with it," Weiner said. "I love doing this job on the radio, but I want to be of service."
As the New York Post notes, the 60-year-old "convicted sex pest" hasn't held office since 2011, when a sexting scandal forced him from his seat in the House of Representatives. His comeback run for mayor two years later ended after—you guessed it—a sexting scandal, this one involving a minor and 21 months in the clink. "The things in my past, the things about my addiction, the things about my acting out, the things about my background—it's a lot, it's a lot," he said. "But we're at a moment that we Democrats, we seem like we come into knife fights carrying library books all the time." City & State New York notes that there are already three candidates in the race, all of whom have raised at least $50,000. (Weiner's former intern made waves recently.)
