Video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's appearance at a local church surfaced online on Sunday, in an appearance that called to mind former New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner's appearance at this year's West Indian Day Parade.

Jon Stewart and his Daily Show team explored "former congressman-turned-amateur photographer" Anthony Weiner's uneven at best efforts to win over residents in various New York City communities on Thursday, with even Stewart -- a longtime friend of Weiner's -- conceding that he was "10 percent man, 90 percent gristle at this point."

Embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner chose, of all days, Erev Rosh Hashanah -- the evening before the first of the Jewish High Holy Days -- to engage in a shouting match with an Orthodox Jewish man in a Brooklyn market. According to Jacob Kornbluh, who filmed the exchange, the argument began when the man called Weiner a "scumbag" in passing.

While New York City's annual West Indian Day Parade drew many of the city's mayoral candidates on Monday, Anthony Weiner seemed to want to go the extra mile in ingratiating himself with the voters.

On September 10, 2013, registered Democrats in New York City -- many of them women -- will head to the polls to determine their party's candidate for mayor (and, mostly likely, the next mayor of New York City, given its demographics). And it is for that reason, nominally, that former Congressman Anthony Weiner remains in the news. Oh, sure, he wants to be the next mayor -- but given the campaign-tanking revelations that he sent more dick pics to and had phone sex with yet another "fan" in order to self-gratify after he resigned from Congress, it seems like Weiner has at least a few other "priorities" besides helping middle class New Yorkers.

While saying he would fight for seniors on Tuesday, embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner did engage in a verbal confrontation with 69-year-old rival George McDonald, culminating in Weiner calling McDonald "grandpa" before the event.
