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.

It's almost more newsworthy these days when a conservative Republican politician turns out to not be in the closet. According to Talking Points Memo, Medford, New Jersey mayor Chris Myers insists that he is not resigning in spite of a mushrooming scandal involving his purported contact with a male prostitute who he procured through the website "Rentboy.com".

Embattled former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) resigned in disgrace Thursday, weeks after he accidentally sent a photo of his genitals to followers on the Internet microblogging service Twitter.
