We all knew it was coming.

The New York Times is reporting that Anthony Weiner has announced for a run for Mayor of New York City… officially… as expected.

Here’s his announcement in YouTube video just made public:

It’s a busy news-cycle for the country as a whole. Hiding under the constant coverage of the tragic tornado that ripped Moore, Oklahoma a part, President Barack Obama’s scandal-ridden DC, and coming after Mark Sanford’s redemptive run, it appears to be perfect timing for the disgraced former Congressman to make the bid.

Though, Weiner will have to duke it out with Jimmy McMillan who says “the rent is still too damn high.”
