Weiner pulls another boner.
(NY Daily News) — Rep. Anthony Weiner ditched the Israel Day parade for the first time in years as the ballooning boxer brouhaha continues to dog him.
Several of his fellow Democrats and political rivals questioned why the congressman was nowhere to be seen.
“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.”
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said Weiner should have attended the parade up Fifth Ave.
“I’d like to see him here,” he told reporters before marching. “He cares about Israel and \[is\] very active in the Jewish community and he ought to be here.”
