Rival walks on mild side

Two days after Anthony Weiner’s latest cyber sex scandal, the wife of mayoral rival Bill Thompson hit the campaign trail and spoke glowingly of her husband as a “good man” who is devoted to public service.

“A woman said you’re just saying Bill’s a good man because you’re married to him,” Elsie McCabe Thompson told reporters after visiting a jobs center for gay black youths in downtown Brooklyn.

“I said, ‘No, no.’ I knew Bill was a good man before I asked him out, and the only reason we are married is because I asked him out. And he initially said no.”
