Is there any despicable corrupt politician New Yorkers won’t vote for?

Anyone else notice that disgraced politicians who leave office in shame are coming back?

Maybe it’s part and parcel of how liberal society has become, but, clearly it is no longer unthinkable for politicians who left office due to scandal to come back.

Ultimately it’s up to us voters to decide if these guys win elections. But if critical masses of voters are so liberal and non judgemental that the scandalous behavior in office is of no consequence, then maybe the whole issue of scandals is no longer relevant.

First Weiner and now Client #9 are using NYC as vehicles for their political reincarnations and the sad part is these two clowns have a good chance of winning. So Spitzer wants to be NYC controller? If he wins I’d be wary of any “personal” expenses attributed to his office.
