Cook with a Mouth
Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner bowed out of the New York City mayoral contest with his middle finger raised to the reporters who covered his scandal-ridden campaign.
His wife Huma Abedin was not looking on as he gave his concession, and he didn't even thank his long-plagued wife in his remarks. Abedin was said to be hundreds of miles away in the Hamptons.
Rather than bowing out gracefully, Weiner decided to throw one final insult at the voters by flipping his middle finger at the crowd as he drove off.
Instead of having his wife at the midtown bar where he and his supporters gathered Tuesday night, a different woman was attracting attention: Sydney Leathers, the woman with whom he had a sexting relationship, crashed his party.
The mood was notably happier in Brooklyn where former public advocate Bill de Blasio celebrated his victory alongside his family, with the whole crew dancing next to one another in front of a cheering crowd.
'Sadly we did not win this time, but I could not be more proud of the campaign that we ran,' Weiner said to the crowd inside Connolly's Irish Pub just before 11 p.m., accepting his defeat with just 5 percent of the vote. 'I could not be more proud of you.'
He went on: 'We had the best ideas. Sadly, I was an imperfect messenger.'
Leathers was seen wandering around the pub- clearly as an uninvited guest- giving statements to reporters and showing off her widely publicized plastic surgery augmentations, which she tucked inside a tightly-fitted frock.
After stepping down from Congress in 2011 following his first sexting scandal, Weiner was hoping that his campaign for mayor would be his chance to reenter public office and clear his name. The July revelations that he continued having inappropriate online relationships with women, including Leathers.
New Yorkers also voted against another scandal-plagued politician on Tuesday as former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer lost his race for city comptroller.
Even though he and Weiner were dealt the similar losses, Spitzer had a much more successful campaign as he came within 4 points of Scott Stringer, the former Manhattan Borough President who has worked in state politics for the past two decades.
Stringer had a 52-percent-to-48-per cent lead over Spitzer in unofficial returns, with 92 percent of precincts reporting.
'I am proud to have run a campaign over the past nine weeks that many thought was incapable to mount,' Spitzer said in his concession speech. 'We did it in a way that made me proud to revisit the issues we fought for when I was attorney general and governor, to lay out an agenda of what we believed was right for this great city.'
'I say to the public, I am proud to have served,' he added.
Spitzer - who like Weiner, is married - was forced to resign five years ago after he admitted to hiring prostitutes.
His wife Silda Spitzer was not at the Tuesday night event and never made any campaign appearances during his nine-week bid for comptroller.
Striking a clear contrast to his failed colleagues, Bill de Blasio danced and blew simultaneous kisses to the crowd with his wife and two children at their victory party in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
De Blasio won 40.2 per cent of the Democratic vote, and while there is a chance of a run off between him and the second place candidate, Bill Thompson, that seems unlikely.
'You made this campaign a cause, and I say thank you for elevating it to that level,' the former public advocate said to his supporters.
De Blasio's interracial family was displayed prominently throughout the campaign as he featured his son Dante and his large afro in a number of television ads while his daughter Chiara frequently spoke on her father's behalf at events, including the victory party last night.
'Some of you may already be familiar with my brother Dante. My brother, my little brother, may look good on TV – but there's only one de Blasio who got to vote for her dad today,' she said, referring to a clip of her condemning current mayor Michael Bloomberg's comments about de Blasio using his family as a part of the campaign.
While many have pegged De Blasio as the 'populist' candidate who will be facing Republican Joe Lhota in November, Dante is undoubtedly the fan-favorite as he had a round of cheers all his own at the Brooklyn party.
'In her enthusiasm Chiara just attempted to touch the hair. Security was ready to intervene,' Mr De Blasio joked.
