Sometimes even NY does something right.

p.s. can't even spell Weiner, that's how much I thought of him.

Hallelujah! This is really a victory for everyone not just New York. I don't condemn every politician. I prefer to let their character be judged by their actions. However, when two sleazeballs like these guys STILL think they can run for office then they should be forced to run for the city limits. Good on ya, NY!

We just got rid of the San Diego Mayor Bob Filner due to sexual harassment charges, OH and there was that trip he took to France, and tried to charge the Taxpayers.

So well written, and right on the money.
Now if we could only get Joe Lhota (R) elected, there would be some real hope and change. Unfortunately, it's a looooong shot.

Psssst. Rick........Maybe if you hire her on for some of your campaign advertising?? Just a thought. I don't think the "A hong in every pot" thingy is going over too well.

**BENESSE** · 09-11-2013, 05:46 PM

Vote for Rick.
He won't hong you out to dry.

**Rick** · 09-11-2013, 07:04 PM

Here's another one:

Rick's not a Dick...Chaney, that is.
He's a straight shooter.

**Desert Rat!** · 09-12-2013, 10:10 PM

And meanwhile I'm still thinkin!

Really interesting take! It’s true—character still plays a major role, especially when public trust is involved. No matter how the times change, accountability and integrity remain essential.

By the way, if anyone here is also into property or real estate topics, feel free to check out this site I’ve been using: https://propertymanagementcompany.uk/

Always enjoy thoughtful discussions like this—looking forward to more!

Really brings up the question of how much personal character should matter in public service. When leaders fail to uphold basic integrity, it affects trust across the board not just in politics, but in everyday industries too. Even in real estate, character plays a major role in client trust and long-term success. I saw some interesting cases reflecting that recently on it really shows how much ethics still matter.
