Ready or not, the former congressman is out of jail and on the radio. MatthewStieb reports
He’s back. Photo: Adam Powell “Don’t forget we’re on TV, too,” said Anthony Weiner, who learned the hard way how an uncontrolled image can derail one’s career. The former New York congressman meant the video livestream from WABC’s radio station, where he’s been testing the waters with his first public gig since getting out of prison nearly three years ago. But he may, at last, be too cautious about the camera: The video feed was off that day.
The duo is at their best when these former mayoral candidates and forever Brooklyn guys talk city politics and chop up old beef. Sliwa brought a photocopy of an item from New York Magazine from September 1996 that detailed their first political run-in, shortly after Weiner declared to run for Congress in Chuck Schumer’s old district.
“But then there’s a frankly more profound thing that happens,” he said, “when people share really intimate stuff about challenges that they or their families have faced and appear to be looking for support, looking to lean on me to some degree.” And in the Right Corner … The show is also something of a return for Curtis Sliwa, who took a hiatus from his decades-long run at WABC during his long-shot mayoral bid as a Republican against Eric Adams last fall. “I’d rather not be back, I’d rather be mayor,” he said. Sliwa keeps an impossible weekend schedule, broadcasting on Saturday from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.
