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.

The thing that's really weird about Weiner is that he's young. What's a young Weiner doing joining the losing side in the midst of its last gasp? True, his party did pick up seats in '98. But the writing was on the wall. Well, I guess it wasn't so obvious to everyone back then. Even Weyrich said "Conservatism is finished". Ah well. Now Weiner must be slow broiled with the rest of his party.
Damn, wish we could get that on a tee shirt.
His last office was near the Capitol Hill furnace.
I think whiner Weiner's new office is "in" the furnace.
I can't STAND those worst-of-the-worst anti-American scumbags from New York City (and their ilk from other Peoples Republics, like Massachusetts), like Wiener, Schumer, Nadler-The-Hut (as in "Jabba-The-Hut" from Star Wars), and the rest.
In fact, I had to gag this morning when Schu-MA was on Fox& Friends. As much as I hate seeing these scumbags and listening to them or reading what they say, I think I need to keep up with what the enemy is up to.
Schumer wasn't called a putzhead for nothing. Just look at him closely sometime, if you have a strong stomach. If you imagine Schumer and Weiner standing next to each other, you might turn into a pillar of salt.
"I think whiner Weiner's new office is "in" the furnace."
Yikes. I'll hide the mustard.
You're right, but "putzhead" is too kind a word for this anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-American bastard. Why any Jew would be for disarming law-abiding citizens, and leaving them defenseless against criminals, terrorists, dictators, and tyrannical governments, while knowing full-well the consequences of such actions by the Nazis in WWII against JEWS (among others), is hard to believe. But that is Chuckie Shu-MA. He never met a gun-control he didn't like.
I'm glad to hear others bring up the fruits of gun control in Nazi Germany. But he doesn't have to worry about owning a gun. All Putzhead has to do is aim Weiner at them.
