Weiner, who also has his eye on Gracie Mansion

I'll bet. But is she over 21?

[Jonty30]

Maybe he felt inadequately equipped compared to all the exaggerated balloon parts.

What’s the matter - can’t handle the press hounding him? What a wimp!! And he wants leadership? LOL!

Statement: "Rep. Anthony Weiner a no-show at New York City Israel Day parade amid Twitter photo scandal"

Response: I would think that after the scandal he would not show it at a parade.

Rep. Anthony Weiner a no-show

Maybe he should have been a "no-show" on Twitter!

[BradyLS]

LOLz!

[YHAOS]

"Weiner a no-show at New York City Israel Day parade amid Twitter photo scandal,"

Figures.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Seems someone posted that the picture went to other people as well but hasn’t been made public. Anyone remember where it ws posted? I think it was yesterday or the day before. Was it a high school student who had also gotten it?

[Oldpuppymax]

Hey, now be fair! Democrats just aren’t USED to the “press hounding them.” Cheer leading and covering up, yes. But never hounding!! So this takes someone like the Weiner some time!!

Embattled Rep. Weiner ducks pair of big parades

[hometoroost]

"It has become a huge distraction,"

Distraction? Yes. Huge? No.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Disgusting.

"It has become a huge distraction," said former city Controller William Thompson Jr., a likely Democratic mayoral contender. "It has become a circus. Every answer raises another question."

Oh gee, a barrybot who doesn't want an elected official to be questioned by the masses - it's a circus, a distraction to him. I'd say willy has an elitists attitude.

Good material for his opponent to use.

Weiner Welcomed at Colorful Parade

A photographer on Flickr posts this picture of Anthony Weiner at last week's Phagwah parade in Richmond Hill.

The photographer, who posted the picture under the name "surgery," wrote this caption:

"when congressman anthony weiner took the stage, the crowd cheered "big weiner" and tried, with only mild success, to shower him with dye."

"big weiner was not amused."

A Weiner spokesman explained that he had marched in another parade that day, but did not consider it campaigning.

From The New York Observer:
Weiner Welcomed at Colorful Parade

[cashless]

Any chance his no show was his tacit support of his “Messiah's” new Israeli policy? Is he Reform, Orthodox, or mindless Jewish state hater? You are either for or against Israel just like you are either for or against Nazi-ism.

[Happy Rain]

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

[UCANSEE2]

"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?

“Israel Day parade minus kosher Weiner.” ;)

[Milton Miteybad]

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. ;-)

[Happy Rain]

Weiner is acting like a Brat.

[PA Engineer]

That confirms he is not a Kosher Weiner.
