City Hall blogging reporter Rafael Martinez Alequin asked the mayor at a press conference the other day a question that Bill O'Reilly Factor's Body Language Expert Tonya Reiman would say trip up the mayor and brought intense reactions from the officials behind Bloomberg. Of cause the question Alequin asked was about Anthony Weiner, but it was a very cleaver one designed to trap. Alequin's Question: Would you be happy if one of your daughters become a Facebook or Twitter friend of Anthony Weiner? You could see the media savvy mayor think as he avoided the yes or no answer with a little hesitation and add on's that he would let his daughters make up their own mind and added that he did not think they knew Weiner. Unsure if his answer was complete the mayor added a warning to other to be aware that anything posted on the Internet would be seen with a lot of eyes. The most intense reaction to Alequin question was by City Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito who jump and touch Harlem RBI school leader Richard Berlin mouthing something like OMG. They both put their hands over their face like they were trying to hide. Chancellor Walcott and other VIPs behind the mayor could been seen leaning back and looking at others for their reaction after Alequin finished his Weiner question. You can watch the mayor and the at the :47 mark on Alequin blog Your Free Press

Unless Weiner Resigns Before July 7th Corrupt Queens Democratic Boss Crowley Will Pick and Control the Next Congressman
 |
| Tammany Hall Boss |
Weiner must choose quickly. He has had plenty of time to come to terms with his demons and defects, and, even more important, a resignation clock is running on his constituents. According to the New York State election calendar, they would get to choose a successor in an open primary if, and only if, Weiner resigned by July 7. All interested Democratic and Republican contenders would then have the opportunity to gather petition signatures to get on a September primary ballot. * Anthony Weiner must decide his future soon or political bosses, not his constituents, will choose(NYDN)
