WASHINGTON — Three New York Democrats, including mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner, are among a small number of congressmen who are formally protesting President Bush's election, The Post has learned.
Weiner's signature in support of a highly controversial letter sent yesterday to Vice President Dick Cheney, who serves as president of the Senate, and other congressional leaders comes as a surprise because the other lawmakers are among the most liberal, stridently anti-Bush members of Congress.
Weiner, who has a relatively moderate voting record and is now trying to oust Mayor Bloomberg, raised eyebrows by jumping on board because he is not generally associated with the mostly far-left-leaning congressmen trying to unseat Bush.
They include such figures as Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), who visited Baghdad before the war and said he trusted Saddam Hussein more than Bush, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), who ran a long-shot bid for president last year as the left-most Democratic candidate, and independent Rep. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), who is a socialist.
The letter, which expresses "grave doubts" about whether Bush legally won the election, is considered so extreme that its supporters in the House of Representatives have been unable to find a single Democratic senator to back it.
Even Bush's defeated opponent, Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), has refused to support the effort.
The other two New Yorkers signing on, Reps. Major Owens of Queens and José Serrano of The Bronx, were not unexpected because they are among the most liberal, Bush-bashing members of the state's delegation.

Heh Heh - words that make a second-amendment believer giggle. :)
Pay no attention to this story. Weiner's just trying to be a hot dog...
Yeah, short guys can have major self-esteem problems. Being named Weiner is also a problem for the liberal turd.
Is it possible that the Libs could get any dumber? The Democratic Party (i.e. Socialist Party) is about to go the way of the dinosaur. Lets help them on their journey to extinction.
Anthony Weiner=Hillary ButtBoy.
I understand Stephanie Tubbs may be signing on to this, also.
I thought porno was not allowed here. Biggest one I ever saw!
LOL......you just don't see that in the papers enough, do you?
What a bunch of anti-American hacks.
Stephanie Tubbs, as well? Talk about a Motley Crew.
Calling Mary Frances Berry.
Evidently his district just loves him.
Nadler's constituency is left of Karl Marx, he wins with over 80% of the vote.
Pathetic bunch for the most part.
Sounds like a Weiner.....
LMAO!
Wiener is a rising star in the demonrat party, a real up and coming member , and... he's not as stiff as Kerry or Gore.
Seriously, Wiener is just like fellow Peoples republic of New York City politician, Schumer, who tries to play hardball politics, but is merely a typical, bed-wetting, hand-wringing, whining-maggot life-long left-wing scumbag.
"...then Weiner could setup hot dog stands in the Capitol rotunda to raise money for the DNC."
ROFL! I knew you'd have a good comeback.
I remember seeing Weiner on C-Span when he entered Capitol Hill for the first time. It was a live event. They gave Weiner an office in the basement. I wonder if Weiner is next door to Barney Frank now.
