Governor Cuomo Doesn’t Want to Talk About Anthony Weiner

Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t want to talk about Anthony Weiner. He really doesn’t–seriously. “I appreciate that you continue to ask questions that you know that I don’t want to answer,” Mr. Cuomo accordingly deadpanned earlier today when faced with yet another question on Mr. Weiner, this one about the scandal-scarred mayoral candidate’s recent rise in the polls. “I respect your perseverance,” he added. “I hope that you respect my discipline.”

Perhaps ironically given his last not-quite-a-joke “shame on us” reaction when asked about Mr. Weiner’s potential victory–which he unconvincingly insisted was humor–the crowd of reporters laughed at today’s remark.

Mr. Cuomo, who was announcing the state’s new texting-while-driving penalties, also informed the media that he was not going to be providing opinions on the mayoral race’s daily developments.

“The mayoral election has a long way to go,” he said. “It’s going to be a long campaign, let’s see what happens. I’m sure there will be a lot of twists and turn. There normally are. It seems like a more interesting race than usual … So, let’s see how it goes, but I don’t intend to comment on the twists and turns of the New York City mayoral election.”

1. Bill Clinton has been

"Democratically Forgiven"--How is it that Weiner doesn't deserve the Same consideration?
He is a Strong progressive voice. At this juncture what else matters? He dealt with this personal matter and at the end of the day, this is between him and his family-only.
Are Dems as big of Hypocrites as the chain of events in this case seem to indicate?

2. I agree! I think the democratic party should just let him run and see where it goes.
