A little more about my item where surrogates (Bill Samuels and Hank Sheinkopf) for likely 2013 candidates (Bill de Blasio and Anthony Weiner) were sparring.
In my item, Samuels launched the attack, calling Weiner “too shrill” overall, and his opposition to non-partisan redistricting “ridiculous.” Sheinkopf came to Weiner’s defense, calling Samuels out of touch and “the guy with the silver spoon.”
It’s an interesting position for Sheinkopf, who worked for Bloomberg’s 2009 campaign that pushed Weiner out of the race.
Page Six asked Sheinkopf if he’s working for Weiner.
“I never discuss what I’m doing. I presume I’ll be employed,” he told them.
