Tragic: Weiner Loses the Spitzer Vote

The tantalizing possibility of a Weiner-Spitzer, or Spitzer-Weiner, ticket has just gone limp on the Tingles show.

When pressed by Chris Matthews as to whom he would vote for in the upcoming Democratic mayoral primary, Spitzer — who was forced to resign as governor in 2008 after he admitted to patronizing prostitutes — declined to name a specific candidate. Matthews then asked, “You’re not going to vote for Anthony Weiner, can you just say that right now? You don’t think he should be mayor of New York.” Spitzer answered, “Fair point. That is correct.”

Funny day, when the Clintons and Spitzer are all distancing themselves from the Weiner.
