Sarcasm Is A Symptom Of A Populace That Is Beaten Down

Yes, sarcasm is a sickness (”We don’t have nearly enough of your campaign offices in our neighborhoods. Really, we don’t.”). Sadly, the only cure is more Weiner:

Representative Anthony D. Weiner has put himself into the maybe category for the 2009 mayor’s race.

So why is he suddenly renting a campaign office? In May, Mr. Weiner spent $8,215 for space in an S. L. Green building in Midtown.

Most leases for commercial office space are long-term (for a year, at least) — a curious commitment for a man who has called himself a “quasi candidate.”

A spokeswoman for Mr. Weiner, Marie Ternes, said the lawmaker “has five employees and a multimillion-dollar organization. Of course he needs an office.”
