Powerful Weiner or Women?


On the same day that Anthony Weiner has announced his intention to run in the New York City mayoral race – Forbes has released its list of the most powerful women of 2013.  This is causing me to ask myself - who is more influential – Weiner or Women?

Many will be familiar with Anthony Weiner as the disgraced ex-US congressman, forced to resign after tweeting lewd photos of himself to women.  I am sure that many in New York City will feel lucky to have such a renowned, and apparently reformed, sexter in its mayoral race.  However, the 2013 most powerful women will probably not be feeling so lucky – given the Forbes list has been completely overrun by Weiner’s story in the media – suggesting that even the world’s most powerful women are unfortunately still outshone by a Weiner.
