He’s pro-Israel. That’s what makes me laugh when I read the British papers - they think “the bitch set him up.” If they only knew he was a big supporter of Israel they’d turn on him in a dime!

Why aren’t the media demanding answers??? Why aren’t they demanding his resignation? Why did Reuters headline this story with Weiner as a “Republican”?
Why are the standards for Dems so different?
I hate the media.

Weiner will HAVE to show his face sooner or later—after all he is Jewish and thus likely circumcised.

"Several of his fellow Democrats and political rivals questioned why the congressman was nowhere to be seen. "
You don't think he's 'dicking around' do you?

You’d think this to be a good thing to have a disgraced Democrat stay in office. The issue is not going away. The longer he stays in office, the more it will cost the Democrats.

Probably just hangin’.
Or maybe he went to a Ball.
To: cashless
Any chance his no show was his tacit support of his Messiah's new Israeli policy?Dunno. He also missed some gay pride gig.

Rep. Anthony Weiner ditched the Israel Day parade for the first time in years as the ballooning boxer brouhaha continues to dog him.
That's too bad. It just isn't an Israel Day parade without Mr. Peter Tweeter in attendance. ;-)

He’s talking things over with Huma.
Huma talked to Hillary about how to deal with a husband who causes problems in the marriage.
And I’m sure Anthony and Huma had some good pillow talk about all of this. I’m sure Hillary told her to be supportive of her husband, since he has to get back to work for the American people. And Hillary advised Huma that making a public scene, or leaving Anthony, or anything other than unqualified support will just make things worse for her. So Huma will swallow hard and suck it up and just accept whatever he does.
And other Democrats will just hope this all goes away.
Remember during the Mark Foley text messages to male pages scandal, that Nancy Pelosi charged Speaker Hastert did not oversee his caucus properly, and that there was a culture of corruption if a congressman could send out lewd messages like that. In the Weiner scandal, Nancy is silent about cultures of corruption and all that.

Why did Reuters headline this story with Weiner as a Republican?
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 9th district
The media won't go after one of their own. That's why we need to ignore them in everything - their bias is too deep and too long for any truth to come from them. I never watch/listen to them - I don't want their garbage/propaganda in my head. One can see things clearer when totally void of them. Unfortunately, some continue and are clueless that they pick up some of their propaganda.

Weiner is acting like a Brat.

I like Jon Stewart’s line... “El Penio...”

He was going to attend some of the parades, before catching a few of the floats:

I guess it’s hard to show you’re face; when you’ve been caught with your pants down.

If you read the posted article, you would get the false impression that the New York Israel Day parade was an event Democratic politicians only.
The truth of the matter is that in recent memory, the only political organization that has been present as a group in the parade has been the Republican Jewish Coalition. Its Jewish Democrat counterpart, apparently now in harmony with Obama's foreign policy, has been conspicuous by its absence.
As for Weiner, does anyone really think that a guy who is married to an Arab woman with whom he is trying to mend fences would go to a pro-Israel event?
To: Libloather
He wants to live in Grace Mansion, but can’t handle a few reporters.
Wiener...you are a WIENER!
To: Dilbert San Diego
Huma may be married to Wiener, but she is Hillary’s Bitc$.
To: Libloather
I love the writers at the Daily News. Ballooning boxers!! Talk about hyperbole!
At this point, Weiner can do no wrong by coming out (fully dressed) and OWNING HIS WIENER!!!!!! He might as well confess. He’s already toast.
Maybe this was the wrong parade for his “moment.” When is the Pride Parade in NY?
