 I know, right? And there’s more where that came from. 
 
 Totally! And there’s plenty more to love! 
 
 Broken hearted? Maybe you’ll like something over here instead? 
 
 Oops! It looks like you've already voted.. 

 Think of all the negative, nasty, unbelievable things Anthony Weiner has ever done. Does “a pathological need to be in public politics” enter the top ten? No? Well, good thing you’re not Lawrence O’Donnell then, because that was the first and ONLY issue he took with Weiner in an interview Monday. There are no words that can do this mess justice, only to say that for the first time since the first picture of his penis emerged on the internet… you may end up feeling bad for Anthony Weiner. 
 
 O’Donnell opened the interview with a penetrating question: “What is wrong with you?” 
 
 He elaborated, but it didn’t sound any better. 
 
 “What is wrong with you that you cannot seem to imagine a life without elected office?” 
 
 See, O’Donnell didn’t dwell on the sexting and the lying, he was more interested in Weiner somehow having this kind of pathological need to stay in elected office, which I don’t think is necessarily a Weiner-only problem in politics (if the incumbency rate in Congress is any indication). Weiner got a bit snarky with O’Donnell, while O’Donnell kept going on and on about what the hell is wrong with him, going so far as to say Weiner might have some personal “demons” keeping him in politics. 
 
 (Sidenote: this interview just further confirmed my theory that O’Donnell is basically the real-world version of Will McAvoy.) 
 
 And AMAZINGLY, Weiner actually stayed for an eight extra minutes on the web, taking great glee in mocking O’Donnell for his obsessive need; namely, being on television four nights a week. O’Donnell, seemingly stuck on this one issue like a toddler who keeps incessantly asking you WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY, kept pressing Weiner on what exactly is wrong with him. 
 
 What’s absolutely galling about this whole mess is that O’Donnell seems to think Weiner’s texting-inappropriate-pictures-then-lying-about-it-again-and-again-and-again-and-then-having-the-nerve-to-think-New-Yorkers-should-just-up-and-forgive-him-mess… ISN’T REALLY THAT BIG OF A DEAL. And when Weiner says that just shouting at him “What’s wrong with you?” isn’t adding anything constructive to the debate… he’s right! 
 
 As bad as Weiner’s swagger gets at times, it really can’t match the dripping––nay, drooling–condescension pouring from O’Donnell’s lips. 
 
 Watch below, via MSNBC, and I DEFY you not to feel just the tiniest pinprick of sympathy for Anthony Weiner: 
 
 And here’s the online-only segment:

 Voters reject Weiner, Spitzer bids for redemption 
 
 Bill de Blasio was the clear leader in the Democratic race for New York City mayor early Wednesday, teetering near the 40% mark he needed to advance to the general election against Republican Joe Lhota without a runoff. 
 
 William Thompson, de Blasio's closest rival and the 2009 Democratic nominee for mayor, refused to concede until the last vote is counted. 
 
 The Associated Press reported that it may take a week or more before de Blasio emerges as his party's nominee. 
 
 STORY: 'Tabloid Twins' Weiner, Spitzer lose comeback bids 
 
 The only sure thing about the first round of balloting in New York City was that voters rejected Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer, who were seeking redemption after sex scandals derailed their once-promising careers. 
 
 Voters also turned back City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's historic bid to be the city's first female and first openly gay mayor, and relegated the one-time front-runner to third place behind de Blasio and Thompson. 
 
 As he thanked his supporters in Brooklyn, de Blasio sounded confident and outlined his vision for the nation's most populous city. Standing beside him were his wife, Chirlane McCray, daughter Chiara and son Dante, who became a mini-celebrity after his starring role in a much-talked about campaign ad for his dad. 
 
 "Our mission is to change our city in the name of progress," de Blasio said, as his supporters chanted, "Mayor Bill." 
 
 He promised to end the striking economic imbalance that has widened the gap between rich and poor in New York City. "The tale of two cities will be in our past," de Blasio vowed.

 STORY: NYC moves past raucous primary 
 
 In one of the main subplots of the primary election, former congressman Weiner and ex-governor Spitzer have had their comeback bids shot down by voters. Weiner finished a distant fifth among the major Democratic mayoral hopefuls. Spitzer was defeated by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in a close race to be the Democratic nominee for city comptroller. 
 
 Weiner briefly led public opinion polls in the mayor's race. His support dwindled after he admitted he continued to send salacious messages to women through the Internet — even after his sexting habit forced him to resign from Congress in 2011. Spitzer, who resigned as governor in 2008 after admitting he paid for sex with prostitutes, also briefly led the comptroller's race. 
 
 "We had the best ideas," Weiner told his supporters. "Sadly, I was an imperfect messenger." 
 
 Democrats have a 6-to-1 voter registration advantage over Republicans, meaning the Democratic nominee will be heavily favored to succeed Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Despite the city's political tilt, a Democrat hasn't been elected mayor since David Dinkins defeated Ed Koch in 1989. 
 
 Tuesday's primary was the first since 1997 without Bloomberg, an independent, on the ballot but he still loomed large in the race. 
 
 Quinn took shots for supporting Bloomberg on overturning the city's term limits law, which allowed him to seek and win a third term. De Blasio, meanwhile, said he was the candidate who could "offer an unapologetic progressive alternative to the Bloomberg era." 
 
 De Blasio "peaked at the right time," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. 
 
 In the comptroller's race, Stringer will face Republican John Burnett in the fall. Burnett is a longtime wealth manager at Wall Street firms. 
 
 Turnout was light among the city's 3.2 million registered Democrats and 510,000 Republicans. Some voters reported problems with the city's old voting machines, including jams and breakdowns of levers, causing some people to have to write down their election choices on a piece of paper.

– New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner appeared on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell last night, and let's just say the interview is a memorable one. The host had just one question for Weiner: "What's wrong with you?" O'Donnell was not, as you might expect, referring to Weiner's penchant for naughty texts; rather, he was absolutely obsessed with what he described (over and over again) as Weiner's "pathological need to be in public politics." Writes Josh Feldman at Mediaite, "I DEFY you not to feel just the tiniest pinprick of sympathy for Anthony Weiner" after watching it. The six-minute exchange was, in the words of BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski, "too amazing for words," and featured such gems from O'Donnell as, "You are being driven by some kind of demons." (Weiner counters with lines like "Chillax, buddy" and "Dude, I don't really need your psychiatric questions.") The best part: Weiner's laugh at the end. If the first six minutes aren't enough for you, good news: Weiner stuck around for another eight minutes, in an online-only segment (though he got in this jab when O'Donnell asked him to keep the conversation going: "Online? Get harangued online? Nobody watches the show. Who do you think's online?") NYC's primary is today; USA Today notes that Weiner is polling fourth out of six Democrat candidates.
