Something tells us the editors of New York Magazine aren’t exactly thrilled with the caliber of candidate vying for their votes this year. The cover of Monday’s issue, an unholy half-Anthony Weiner, half-Eliot Spitzer abomination, will make walking past the newsstand a very uncomfortable experience next week.
So far, reaction has ranged from “awesome” to “disgusting.”

@CharlesMBlow @audreygelman @NYMag They really don't like them huh? Just maybe because they don't the Public Should!

This is disgusting, mean-spirited & awful. Good reason to give up reading this publication.

Since the two men are running for separate offices (mayor and comptroller), New Yorkers don’t have to choose — though we don’t know if that thought brings any comfort and just fuels more nightmares.
