Israel Day Parade features NY mayoral candidates
There was a sea of white and blue along New York’s Fifth Avenue on Sunday for the Israel Day Parade, which this year once again included former congressman Anthony Weiner.
More than 30,000 marchers, with 17 bands and 30 floats, moved up the avenue, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn — Weiner’s competitor in the race for mayor.
The Democrat, who tweeted himself out of his congressional job with a photo of his bulging underpants, march farther behind. He had been absent from the annual parade since 2010.
