Weiner's mayoral hopes dim as Twit hits the fan By DAVID SEIFMAN, City Hall Bureau Chief

Former Mayor Ed Koch said Rep. Anthony Weiner is in a pickle over Weinergate -- and the young mayor wannabe must come clean to save his career.

"It's not too late to prevent damage by turning [the Twitter case] over to the Capitol police and let them find the hacker," Koch said yesterday.

But Koch, on his NY1 show Tuesday night, went even further.

"You do commit a crime if you give false information to the police and report a crime when a crime didn't take place," he said while discussing possible reasons why the embattled congressman hasn't filed a police report about the alleged hacking.

"I think he's in trouble . . . I think he has a problem," the former mayor added, because of the media firestorm and Weiner's refusal to immediately answer all questions.

Koch's statements are a clear warning that Weiner's long-sought dream of becoming New York's next mayor may be going up in smoke.

Weiner may not become mayor if the GOP puts up some stiff competition

She’ll be told: Publicly stand by him, privately tell him he will support YOUR career for the rest of the marriage, and he will let you have your lesbian love affairs without comment.

As a lifelong New Yorker, I am utterly thrilled that Weiner is now far less likely to become mayor.

Weiner is pulling out of politics and going to work as the spokesman for The Tennessee Bun Company. He’s making a series of commercials called “WEINER ON BUNS”.
