Any New Yorker, Democrat, liberal or human being on the face of the planet who votes for Anthony Weiner for Mayor of New York or for Elliot Spitzer for Comptroller or any other public office displays the same lack of moral integrity as these two losers.
What else can be said? These two make a joke out of our entire democratic system, they insult the voters and send a harmful message to the young.
On the other hand, the fact that Weiner managed to work his way into the leading candidate says volumes about the New York voter many who are proving that nothing matters except the candidate must be a liberal Democrat.
When did we get to the point where integrity is irrelevant?
QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
I seem to remember the capital of this great nation re-electing a CONVICTED COKE-HEAD AS MAYOR after he served his time!

Right you are, there seems to be no end to our desire to vote out of ignorance.

They are both individuals who subscribe to using power to position themselves to benefit the “99%” – and of course, their political careers, too.
Wiener was always clear that he favored policies that redistributed wealth – as a means to buy votes. He and Mr. Spitzer were always “attack, attack, attack” the opposition – for Wiener, it was always to highlight how Republicans were denying you something that you had a right to (free health care, clean water, free public education, free phones, etc.) Spitzer was only slightly less of a panderer – in that his targeted attacks were to shake down high profile or wealthy individuals or corporations with litigation – despite having little proof of actual wrongdoing. Think AIG and Hank Greenberg. For Spitzer, he would force action “or else” you would not only be the target when he filed suit, he would typically reposition the litigation to pin defendants against each other, and to effectively deny individuals corporate counsel. Then, as he would pile on charge after charge, he would pursue settlements (who could fight the unlimited and unbridled power of the state), claim victory (he seldom won in court) then move on to the next headline grabber.
They also believe in the Hollywood aspect of politics – there is no such thing as bad publicity, except your own (political) obituary.
Simply, their personal ethical flaws pale in comparison to what most Americans believe are their policy ethical flaws – policy ethical flaws that apparently more than half the voting public in New York feel are strengths..
