, the fall of weiner. >> yeah, wow. >> a sunday morning! wow. >> i think as fun as it was for "new york post" headline writers to get anthony weiner back this year, i think he actually really did impact politics in new york. i believe you could argue we have bill de blasio as a mayor because of weiner, allowing him to come up. and bill de blasio along with elizabeth warren are these progressive rock stars bringing the party leftward. i think what anthony weiner did in that mayoral race was fairly significant and we'll see that. >> it's not clear to me white he took votes from christine quinn as opposed to bill de blasio. >> he took momentum. >> yeah, he took momentum from everybody. so i don't think he had a political effect. i think he took a huge amount of attention, and it moved away. and i think bill de blasio won -- >> if anthony weiner hadn't gotten in -- >> well, i still believe that public service is a noble calling. and these politicians behaved badly. clearly in the case of bob filner. i mean -- >> the mayor of san diego? >> yeah.

you can argue that we have bill deblasio as mayor because of weiner. and bill along with elizabeth warn rer the progressive rock stars bringing the party leftward. i think what anthony weiner did in that mayoral race was actually a fairly significant. and we'll see that next year. >> buts is not clear to me why i took votes from christine quinn. >> he took momentum. he took momentum from everybody. i don't think he had a political effect. i think he just took a huge amount of attention. and it moved away. i think bill deblass yoe won. >> i still believe that the public service is a noble calling. these politicians behave badly. and clearly in the case of bob filmer -- >> mayor of san diego. >> 18 women? at one point i'm like, dude, move on. move away. we don't want to pay for your therapy. but they get a sense of entitlement, arrogance of power. i think it affects male politicians more than female politicians. >> is there rehab for sexual harassment? does that work? >> apparently not. 2014, i think there are a lot of women candidates running who can ta

this guy was the cherry on the weiner sunday.ologize to any woman who may have gotten a text message from me because he was spaming women at this point. then you have a man who works for wr radio, he's in the media. he has to be aware. you look over and your eyes can see the other media outlets, they can see you. that made it even more bizarre, that he was not that aware, he's probably going to be on camera. >> michelle goldberg, your thoughts? >> you know, i think this is the kind of lighter version of the more sinister instant notoriety we have seen in other cases and you know, in part because this isn't really a polarized issue, right? the one thing that all americans can agree on is the absurdity of anthony weiner's press conference. >> no doubt. hey, i have to tell you both and everybody else, i'm really surprised politico didn't include him, but i have to give my pick for the celebrity royalty or whatever they're calling it for the year, to the sign language interpreter at the nelson mandela memorial. standing just a few fe

[ laughter ] >> eleanor will understand. >> that was the president's offstated comment when he was referring to people who already have insurance. and it did not prove to be fully accurate. >> and now don't overstate it. i would give the lie to director of international intelligence james clappe who told the congressional party. he later had to apologize for what he called his least most untruthful answer, in other words he lied. >> did you see that one-hour interview with him? >> on 60 minutes. >> it was one hour. >> yes, it wasn't an interview. he was given a prepared talk and you may have found it on cnn. >> he admitted he lied. that you can keep your health insurance

san francisco street light system as you mentioned supervisor weiner is old. and most of the assets we're talking about are beyond they're useful life and for some areas within the city it's a very old technology that's fluid and those are where we see many of the most challenging maintenance issues. parts are obsolete and it's creative work on the part of the street light repair crews to keep those systems operating >> in terms of quote/unquote updating i know in talking to pg&e if one goes out am i to assume they all go out. so quote/unquote does that mean eliminating the series group so they're not connected >> yes. that's not not only improving them but it's more expensive they're put in the sidewalks. you can see they're related to open this map throughout the city. and what i've shown here on this map is the series of loops owned by pg&e in yellow and red and the series owned by the city in black it comes out sort of okay. on the slide as displayed but pg&e and puc have improvement programs and capital programs for comfortably those parts of the system b

lets talk about the mayor of toronto. >> if you thought anthony weiner was the epic, scandal to end allals, which to be frank i thought it was. foolishly. i like to remind people ron ford is still mayor of toronto. he's been stripped of his powers but still mayor of toronto after admitting he had alcoholism problems, drug problems. he keeps appearing in public. there's been videos of him dancing to bob marley's "one love." i don't want to make this too, too serious. there's been a fusion and it has happened in america, celebrity and politician. it's not clear where the line is drawn, of poll culture or political culture. i think ford passed over into pop culture. >> someone passed into the criminal justice system is the san diego mayor. what about bob filner? >> bob filner is, for lack of a better description old school. here is a guy, remember the image of the boss chasing the secretary around the sofa, that was bob filner. a guy who took liberties with any and every woman, it seemed, who came into contact with him. people got fed up with it and he was forced to resign and rightly so.

wean and her campos, and to the adoption last year as was mentioned by the chair and commissioner weiner there has been a strong proposal at the mtc to commit of a significant portion of cap and trade expected revenues to the large three largest transit operators and muni bart and transit and we are grateful for the leadership and for the, you know, the cooperation of the colleagues around the bay who do recognize that 80 percent of the rider ship are on the three systems and are responsible and they account for the 75 percent of the transit capitol shortfall in the region, to access these funds, there does need to be a local match and to come up with 30 percent of the funds for the capacity challenge. and we do want to commit ourselves to brief you and your staff as would be useful in addition to working cooperatively with the mayor's and the staff to come to agreement, and con census of the new revenues. on this page we have an update on the two organizations that have submitted a proposal to file for a new state wide vlf, like proposal, if passed, this will be for the voters next year

tony weiner! it sounds like a food truck or something. weiner failed. spitzer failed.ner made it. a couple comebacks made it, a couple not so much. >> phillip? >> makes a good point of throwing the former attorney general in there as well. you've heard of "girls gone wild." thank god for the people of new york who did not vote for him. >> i don't understand the kind of guy that sends pictures of his manhood to women he barely knows on the internet. first of all, anybody who has more than a theoretical knowledge of women knows that women doesn't appreciate that. that's not going to get you anywhere. and the other thing is knowing that additional instances of this were out there, running for mayor, doing that to yourself and your family is positively masochistic. he has a lot to offer, that's the sad thing, no pun intended. >> i don't know about that. i hope 2014 is anthony free and always. >> toronto mayor rob ford admitting he used crack after denying he used crack in one of his drunken stupors. did anybody get a rob ford bobblehead for christmas? >> yeah, it's got an
