JIM TREACHER: Weiner Wants to Get into Your Ear. Let me explain:
The radio show is called The Left vs. The Right. I guess Sliwa is “the right”? Well, it’s about time Weiner got to co-host a show. I always thought he and Eliot Spitzer should team up. C’mon, wouldn’t you tune in for Weiner/Spitzer?
Weiner is as focused and rational as ever:
“I am not going back into public life, I am doing a radio show with a friend of mine,” he exclusively tells Page Six. He added, “It’s not a conscious decision,” before joking to us, “I have a face for radio, but I don’t know if I have a place in radio as a career. Sometimes it is what it is.”
I gotta admit, I’m Weiner-curious. I’ll be listening to WABC online tomorrow to hear what he has to say. Everybody deserves a 22nd chance!
It’s a mark of how badly Bill de Blasio ran Manhattan into the ground, that it’s possible to make a pretty good case that Carlos Danger, aligned as he was with the (comparatively) moderate Clinton wing of the Democrat party, would have been a far better (read: less destructive) mayor, had not, err, things came to a head in 2013.
