Caught on Video: Bold Former School Teacher Gives Anthony Weiner a Surprise Lesson in ‘Moral Authority’ Jul. 28, 2013 6:21am Scott Baker NEW YORK (AP) — New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner met with Superstorm Sandy victims Friday on Staten Island as he tried to move past the sexting scandal threatening to derail his political comeback attempt. The former congressman traveled to the furthest reaches of the city to tour the ruined home of Joseph Cardinale, a 14-year resident of a beachfront neighborhood still hurting from the storm’s deadly tidal surge. The house, overgrown and stripped to the studs, will have to be torn down and Cardinale is upset about how difficult it has been to rebuild. Weiner said he visited the neighborhood because he wanted to bring attention to the plight of storm victims. “One of the reasons why we’re here today is that I knew that now, you’re gonna come with me. And you should see this,” he told reporters. “There is this notion because the cameras had left, because some of the headlines changed, that the problem was solved. But for many, many people, they are still dealing with the challenge.” But even in that setting he couldn’t escape the scandal. After walking through the destroyed house and meeting several neighbors who also shared their Sandy horror stories, he was confronted by retired schoolteacher Peg Brunda. “I don’t quite understand how you would feel you’d have the moral authority, as the head administrator in this city, to oversee employees, when your standard of conduct is so much lower than the standard of conduct that is expected of us,” said Brunda. Weiner asked whether she would vote for him. Brunda said no. “I want to let your neighbors make their decisions for themselves,” Weiner said. So far, Weiner said he intends to stay in the crowded mayoral race, where he is facing off against several other Democrats and Republicans. The campaign represented Weiner’s attempt to return to politics after resigning from Congress in 2011 because of revelations that he’d sent sexual texts and photographs to women he met online. He had been polling well before this week, when a 23-year-old woman revealed that Weiner had sent nude photographs to her as well, months after his resignation. Weiner, who is married, admitted having racy correspondence with as many as three women since leaving office. A front-runner in the race, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has been saying for days that Weiner has turned the race into a “circus,” repeated those comments in interviews and campaign appearances Friday. She said he had “a pattern of reckless behavior” a lack of maturity and “difficulty with the truth.” Some news outlets continued to heap ridicule on Weiner Friday. The free daily newspaper AM New York ran a photo illustration of Weiner wearing a clown nose, next to the headline “3-Fling Circus.” Even The New Yorker got in on the act: next week’s cover will feature a cartoon Weiner astride the Empire State Building like King Kong, using a smartphone to photograph the skyscraper between his legs. Weiner said his online dalliances are a thing of the past.

FWIW! Weiner story gets worse: His mother-in-law is part of the Muslim Brotherhood by editor on June 21, 2011 If you thought the Anthony Weiner saga had concluded and that he was fading into a well-deserved obscurity, think again. Just when you thought you had heard every terrible thing about this guy, here comes the worst news yet. It’s been reported – but not widely – that Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin is Muslim. What’s been completely ignored is that her mother is a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood. Anthony Weiner's mother-in-law (above) is a radical Muslim? That must make for some interesting family dinners. The American Thinker reports the story the rest of the media has ignored: … Huma Abedin’s brother, Hassan, “is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members.” Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS. The American media may have glossed over this part of the story, but the Arab media have been on it like Osama Bin Laden on an underage girl. Walid Shoebat, formerly with the PLO, explains that Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, a professor in Saudi Arabia “belongs to the Sunni movement’s women’s division known as the Muslim Sisterhood.” During the recent uprising in Egypt, which resulted in Mubarak’s removal, “a special women’s unit within the Muslim Brotherhood served as ‘mules’ to deliver messages and acted as messengers for the terrorist group.” The Muslim Sisterhood? Surely that’s just a public service organization where the members get together to bake chocolate chip cookies and plan cotillions. The Muslim Sisterhood is also known as the International Women’s Organization (IWO) and members are located “across 16 different countries.” Its goal is to “work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood.” The Muslim Brotherhood’s goal is Islamic world domination and “[i]t is now public knowledge that nearly every major Muslim organization in the United States is actually controlled by the [Muslim Brotherhood] or a derivative organization. Consequently, most of the Muslim-American groups of any prominence in America are now known to be, as a matter of fact, hostile to the United States and its Constitution.” So the mother-in-law of an American Congressman, the mother of the 15-year assistant to the American Secretary of State, is a member of a radical Muslim organization dedicated to Islamic world domination. Wouldn’t you think one of two of the crack investigative journalists who’ve been covering every move in Anthony Weiner’s pants would have noted this fact?

I'm sorry, CZ82, I didn't look first, I miss so many threads by not checking. Maybe Stone can delete my post above?
