A flutter of cameras filed the Sunday morning service at the Brownsville Community Baptist Church in Brooklyn, as Democratic Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner spoke before the congregation.
Reporters were not allowed inside the church, but outside Weiner addressed the latest setback to his campaign: the man running it, 30 year-old Danny Kedem, had quit.

Despite having campaigned with him the past two Sundays, Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, was absent from the Brownsville event.

I dunno... NY City is Democrat land, so idiocy reigns supreme...
They might actually go for the wandering Weiner.
This seems to be a bit on the weird side just from that, plus the religious differences? Maybe it was indeed a marriage of political convenience - but SHE chose poorly...
Weiner was being thrown a political bone. This was intended to be about the MB and Huma’s rise to power.
Even dumb ass democrats don't like to have their noses rubbed in it and that's what Weiner’s doing.
I want to concur with you, Bullish, but what's too low or too stinky or too obnoxious for the Democratic [sic] party? In a sensible, decent society, Snopes Clinton would have resigned in disgrace as Nixon belatedly did; instead of doing any such thing, however, he clung to power, called in favors and twisted arms and probably blackmailed his way into a pass, and trusted, realistically, as matters have developed, all would be forgiven in due time. Clinton kicked the bottom out of the bottom of the barrel.
There isn't a bottom any more, which I believe made both Weiner the exhibitionist and President You Didn't Build That the racist and America hater and Muslim supporter not only possible, but inevitable.
Remember Weiner has already been chased from office for the same exact thing. Weiner’s political career is over, it's deader than roadkill. He should be the first to realize that but he's just stupid I guess.He's a creepy little perverted weasel and he should just hide in his basement and play his Carlos Danger game from now on.
Again, I want to agree. Your estimation of him as "a creepy little perverted weasel" is an insult to weasels and an under-estimation of Weiner's nastiness—but that was before the entire idea of moral standards for political office holers was tossed into the nearest waste basket. The old standards are gone. There are no surviving standards. The founding fathers' assumptions of civic duty, civic decency, civic honor, and the like have been shunted aside in favor of all-devouring civic cynicism. The race is on to see who—or what, as the case may be—can outrage the nation with still worse behavior.
Think of a class room of nine-year-old kids with an elderly substitute teacher for the day. How long does it take the first boy to cut loose with high jinks? How long does it take the second to one-up the first? How long before pandemonium erupts, and even the best behaved girls start getting in on the act?
If America were still politically sane and sensible—if we still had anything like adult supervision and the rule of law to guide our way—Weiner would have been laughed and positively jeered out of Congress with no chance of so-called "redemption" nor any possibility anyone would accept his gibberish about "public service" as aught but a ludicrous, stupid, sub-contemptible stunt. As matters stand, I believe he actually does embody the Democratic [sic] party's highest principles and ideals. That party's first and foremost principle is "What can we get away with next?"
Here's my prediction: whatever they get away with next will prove even worse than the behavior we find loathsome—at the very least—today. I have to figure if New York voters reject the exhibitionist cockroach, the communist lesbian will immediately seem positively normal. It'll probably be up to Spitzer to seize the Democratic [sic] party banner and hold it high.
Some day, everything about today's Democratic [sic] party will seem as despicable and incomprehensible as Jim Crow laws and George Wallace's defense of segregation seem to us today.
Spitzer must be ecstatic this idiot is pulling the headlines away from him.
You give Weiner far too much credit. He’s no political savant like the Clinton’s are. He’s a narcissist and a knuckle head. Are there democrats that would still vote for him? Sure there are. There are democrats that would vote for Hitler too. Are there enough for him to win? No, not gonna’ happen.
It was probably an ELCA, PCUSA, UCC, UMC or Episcopagan one.
...............There was a story about Weiner’s leftover congressional campaign funds just before he announced and the only way he could spend it was to run for something...............
Yeah, I remember that also, when he was forced to resign from the House! He was a washed up politician.
So, at the state level, who looks into the use of campaign funds; the checks/cash given to Huma; his parents; her parents; the kids college fund, the paid staff that is willing to round trip some of their pay back into his pockets; the prepaid vacations; the phony invoices?
Now, methinks that this a-hole may be willing to undergo all this humiliation for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - in Costa Rica.
If Huma has what it takes, and the backing you suggest, Weiner is irrelevant.
If NYC voters vote for this clown, they deserve him.
Oh yeah. He’ll win.
Hello, Mayor Weiner. Congratulations, New York.
LMFBO!!!
Nooooooo....he was the VEHICLE to conquer NYC....he was the WEINERMOBILE////it doesn’t work without the MAYORALTY!!
Huma's mumma is in town. I think they're planning an honor killing.
Weiner is so sick that he's probably still doing it.
I think it was in the neighborhood of 2 to 3 million.
Little Anthony’s Weiner.
Could Huma have fallen for Ms Leathers herself? (Hildegarde would like to know, that's fer shore!)?
Are there enough for him to win? No, not gonna’ happen.
For America's and New York City's sake, Bullish, I hope you're right and the two-legged cockroach loses in a landslide. At the moment, I wouldn't bet a nickel of someone else's money either way.
I don't mean to be defending Hillary and or Huma but if they are then lets see the evidence if they aren't lets stop with the childish snickering.
I don't mean you Revolting cat, I mean every body. Maybe it is fun but it makes FR look stupid.
I find it interesting that a Baptist Church, of all denominations, would even allow him to speak. Huma’s absence, since she is a Muslim, is not surprising. Not only because of who/what she is married to, but I’m sure her family and religion would not allow to be in a Baptist church.
