STRANGE BEDFELLOWS


Congressional husband disses council-seeking wife

This is a bit strange:The wife of a powerful Queens congressman says she's running for a local City Council seat - even though her husband is backing her opponent.Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-St. Albans) has made it clear he is supporting his congressional aide, Brian Simon, for the seat being vacated by Leroy Comrie, his wife told the Daily News.But that's not stopping her.Till election do us part!"I'm running," said Simone-Marie Meeks, 46. "It's a done deal. I have declared to run, I have a committee and I am getting ready to raise money."Hey Simone-Marie: dump him.
