Wiener & Spizter

Previously... on "Wiener & Spitzer".  Our intrepid lawyer/politicians had seen their hard effort in physical rebuilding show up as defined, sculpted, hard bodies - for old jewish politicians, and decided to share the wealth with the world.  
.
Where did this hard work get them?  Driven out of office by a jealous, skeptical (and possibly anti-Semitic) public.  Can they come back from this???!!!"
.
But no, this is no terrible TNT cable show.
.
Real life disgraced politicians Anthony Wiener and Eliot Spitzer are running for office in New York City.
.
Of the two, Anthony Wiener's indiscretions were less serious, but more creepy.  He took semi-nude selfies and sent them to women he had barely met.  And then lied about it!  (You know how I feel about liars.)
.
He is back running for Mayor (and doing well), with a smarmy smile and brightly colored pants.
.
I don't know why except that maybe name recognition is worth more than you would expect.  That, and the assumption that Amazon wife of his would take the cell phone away from him and cut off his nuts if he tried it again.
.
Embarrassing.
.
Eliot Spizter, sensing that New York was in a forgiving mood, has decided to throw his little wiener into the race for City Comptroller.  There is only 1 other candidate, a borough President with little name recognition.  Eliot Spizter should never be in politics again.  He is a self righteous, pompous doufus - who paid a hooker, sent her to Washington DC and lied about it.  Since that is transporting a person across state lines for Prostitution, that's a felony.  Since he lied about it, that is a Scooter No No.
.
But he too may prove that name recognition trumps good sense.
.
argh!
.
If I had to root for one of the two, it would have to be Wiener. First off, his evil deed was not all that evil.  Second, I hear the new Mayoral Limo would be rad.
