Weiner cancels speech in Wisconsin
(CNN) - New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner cancelled a speech he was scheduled to make Friday evening at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Democratic Party confirms to CNN.
Graeme Zielinski, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, tells CNN that they got a call this morning and were told that "given the circumstances he is going to stick around New York and hang out with his wife." Zielinski said he was not sure if the congressman himself called, or a member of his staff.
Zielinski emphasized this was Weiner's decision, and that Wisconsin Democrats were still eager to hear from him, since he has been an outspoken opponent of Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare plan.
"We regret that he can't join us. We were excited to hear what he said," said Zielinski.

Can't he just send his underwear?
running scared
Congressman Weiner! It would be better to keep up appearances. Cancelling at the 11th hour? Not good. Work it out with your wife if you must. Then work it out with the press. I think who or what is in the picture is irrelevant. All that matters is who sent the original correspondence in question. Hey, you could have tried to send it to your wife (Surprise!) and got the recipient wrong. It happens.
pee wee herman ... boy have you got your weiner in a vice.....yea ..better stay home a pamper mama..try kobe bryant tacktic.. get her a hunk of a ring ,, work for kobe.....
He is a liar in every possible way. Finally he's been caught red handed with this BS. It's time to resign, Weiner.
Quote: "given the circumstances he is going to stick around New York and hang out with his wife."
TRANSLATION: The little weasel is going to beg his wife not leave him and destroy his political career.
Move on, Dana Bash.

You've got the wrong guy. Try Gov. Mitch Daniels, instead. Daniels even sounds like Ruebens....when he talks.
Weiner,
You cannot have it both ways. Give it up or we the people will endact you for lying. Weiner, you did show your little weinner t that college girl. Face it before you get endacted!!!!!
Christie tried to rip of the taxpayer, but this story is more important? "liberal media" is a myth
I do believe NO ONE cares when POLITICIAN MEN do stupid things – it's expected (not really but then again, maybe...LOL). So, Weiner should have come out with the truth and then, STOP talking about it!! Wait a minute – maybe he is telling the truth.
I think stories like these only excites the media – especially when there is no other news. When Americans are voting – the Weiner thing is "small" and not on anyone's mind!
HANG in there Weiner!!
Patrick – the difference is christy is a man and faces his screw ups.
